SINGAPORE

My name is Anna, and it is my honor and pleasure to invite you to the third edition of Yale Model United Nations Singapore, taking place from March 13-15, 2026. YMUNS 2026 marks just the third time that Yale’s Model UN conference has come to Southeast Asia. My team and I are thrilled to be building on last year's success to provide the best conference experience possible for you.

YMUN Singapore creates a space for meaningful, impactful debate that brings together some of the brightest minds from around the world. The topics that will be discussed are diverse, ranging from regional to global and covering a broad range of issues. Delegates will be called upon to step into the perspectives of world leaders and apply their best research, diplomacy, and problem-solving skills. Their critical thinking, creativity and collaboration skills will be put to the test as they work together to find solutions to today’s complex issues. We offer committees at all levels, tailored both to newcomers to Model UN and to the most experienced delegates. We are committed to ensuring an enriching committee experience for all. 

YMUN Singapore is proud to offer more than just a simple Model UN conference. We seek to provide a holistic educational experience for our delegates, setting us apart from other conferences. Through speaker engagements, panel discussions and workshops featuring diplomats, politicians and NGOs, we cultivate delegates’ awareness of pertinent issues facing the Southeast Asian region. By creating opportunities for them to connect their in-committee experiences with the real world, we encourage them to become engaged global citizens, and empower them to lead social change in their respective communities. This year, we will also be hosting a delegate dance, encouraging students to interact and unwind with their peers from all around the world, forging friendships that go beyond the committee room and will last much longer than the three conference days.

As the conference approaches, we will be offering initiatives to ensure that all delegates have access to the information they need to prepare for three days of intellectual debate. Topic guides will be provided that structure and contextualize the issues that delegates will be discussing. We will offer multiple online training sessions for delegates at different levels, office hours where delegates can connect one-on-one with the Yale students who are serving as their chairs and running their committees, and a delegate preparation guide that details parliamentary procedure for delegates to reference. It is our hope that delegates from all backgrounds feel welcomed, included and empowered to share their unique perspectives at YMUNS.

Do keep an eye out for more conference updates over the coming months as our team works to curate the best possible conference experience. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at secgen@ymuns.org. Thank you so much for your interest and continued support of Yale Model United Nations Singapore, and we are looking forward to meeting you in March!

Warmly,
