We are MUNERA, not just an organization, but a movement built "for the youth, by the youth." We are the demographic we serve, giving us unmatched insight into how we can exceed student expectations.
Our competitors ask "How can we make this MUN better?" while we think "Why limit ourselves to just and MUN?" I hope at MUNERA, we are able to give you the freedom to express your uniqueness, and not just seem like a copy of everyone else.
At MUNERA, we believe in shaping tomorrow’s leaders today. Founded with the vision of giving young people a voice, MUNERA is more than just a Model United Nations platform, it is a community where students come together to challenge themselves, develop meaningful skills, and gain a deeper understanding of the world. We are a youth-driven initiative that organizes Model United Nations conferences, debates, and workshops designed to empower participants with diplomacy, negotiation, leadership, and critical thinking abilities.
At every event we create, delegates move beyond debating policies to prepare for real leadership—collaborating across diverse backgrounds and tackling global challenges in an atmosphere of respect and innovation. Our mission is to nurture the next generation of global citizens ready to take action, inspire change, and lead with purpose in every community they touch.
Not a conference company. A platform for high-quality youth experiences across ideas, sport, and culture.
Youth events got repetitive and low-rigor. We set a new standard—clear rules, real challenge, respect for time and effort.
A youth-led operating system for events: diplomacy forums, athletic showcases, cultural programs, and Leadership Labs—run with pro ops and modern tech.
MUNERA 2025 at NYU Abu Dhabi is the flagship; the mission is Beyond One Event—a year-round ecosystem that scales quality.
MUNERA
MUNERA is powered by sponsors who believe in the next generation of leaders.
Their support funds top-tier venues, verified officials, and modern conference resources so every participant gets a first-class experience.
We partner with organizations aligned with excellence, inclusion, and global collaboration.
Each sponsor helps create a space where students connect, innovate, and lead.
We recognize that commitment and put it to work for every school and delegate.
