Our Story
VGMUN I is the inaugural edition of the Vanguard Model United Nations, an online conference created by the Vanguard Youth Summit with one purpose: to create a space where students from any corner of the world can engage in meaningful, rigorous, and transformative diplomatic simulation.
Operating under the theme "Navigating Global Shifts," our conference acknowledges that the world is changing faster than ever — and the next generation of leaders must be equipped to navigate it.
We believe that MUN is more than a debate exercise. It is a training ground for empathy, strategy, and leadership. Every delegate who joins VGMUN leaves with sharper thinking, stronger communication, and a wider global perspective.
