We are currently looking into discounts for transportation, and for accommodation in hostels.

Our Mission Statement
English:
Birkerød Gymnasium’s Model United Nations (BIGMUN) is committed to embracing and spreading the spirit of Model United Nations. Through simulated UN conferences, students are able to debate numerous international political issues according to the actual parliamentary procedures of the real UN, which promotes international awareness and understanding, as well as being a platform for forming friendships through educational and cultural enrichment.
Danish:
Birkerød Gymnasium’s Model United Nations (BIGMUN) er opsat på at sprede Model United Nations ånden. Gennem simulerede FN konferencer har både elever med international baggrund og interesse for international politik mulighed for at debattere et bredt udvalg af politisk aktuelle emner. De forskellige debatter følger same protokoller og procedurer som det rigtige FN, hvilket betyder, at konferencedeltagere får en dybere forståelse af det internationale politiske miljø. Udover de mange akademiske fordele er Model United Nations konferencer også et godt grundlag for at knytte venskaber på tværs af skoler og lande igennem kulturel og akademisk berigelse.
