Welcome to LeiMUN 2026

 

A word from the Secretary General

Leiden MUN has been the most enriching journey of our life to date. It has enabled us to find our voice, in a community of like-minded people that we can now safely call our friends. Never in our wildest dreams could we have expected that public speaking and negotiation would have such a big impact on who we are.

As Secretary-General and Director-General of LeiMUN26, we want to offer to all participants the opportunity to grow and develop their skills in a welcoming and challenging environment.


This year, we’re committed to delivering an unforgettable MUN experience—one that challenges you, inspires you, and gives you the confidence to stand tall and use your voice.
