The Birkerød Gymnasium's Model United Nations, in short BIGMUN, endeavours to be an annual youth conference held by Birkerød Gymnasium, HF and IB. It is organised by students and former students in close association with the board of directors consisting of teachers as well as the board of advisors. All organisers share the common passion for a better world, and have profound insight into both MUN
and the UN. The BIGMUN conference has its roots in the birth of the MUN group at Birkerød Gymnasium initiated by students in early 2009. After the group had attended several international conferences including IMUNA, EGMUN, SAIMUN and THIMUN, the students were left back considering if the time was not ripe for Birkerød Gymnasium to follow in the footsteps of those successful conferences that stand as our inspiration. With excitement and enthusiasm, the BIGMUN project has since been drafted and we are proud, and honoured, to welcome you from all over the Globe to Birkerød in early 2015. The BIGMUN conference strives to represent and pass on the true MUN spirit to both new and experienced delegates by simulating the UN as accurately as possible with a wide variety of UN committees along with crucial topics of immediate concern to the world. The fundamental UN charter naturally serves as the basis for all debates in committees, council and assemblies, where students come together to as one reach consensus on some of the most pressing political, military and economical issues from all over the world. We put great emphasis on the official atmosphere of the conference ensured partly by the facilities provided by Birkerød Gymnasium and by the organisation professionalism, but also by the seriousness of participating students and the dress of these.
