Welcome to the Model United Nations Conference 2025!
This exciting event brought together students from four prestigious Orbital schools.
The conference took place in the breathtaking town of Bled, Slovenia—a true gem renowned for its natural beauty, including its iconic lake, castle, and scenic surroundings.
MONDAY : Conference Day 1
Catch a glimpse of the energy and excitement from the first day of our conference.
Today, we started Day One of the Orbital MUN Conference with the Opening Ceremony. Naomi, a student at the British International School of Ljubljana and Secretary-General of the conference, along with Ema, the Deputy Secretary-General, gave an inspiring speech to begin the event. We were also honored to hear insightful words from Mrs. Simona Leskovar, Director of the Bled Strategic Forum and a career diplomat with over 20 years of experience in Slovenian diplomacy.
We continued with Committee Icebreakers, where students got to know each other by playing creative games such as building pyramids with marshmallows, pantomime, quizzes, and the "Whose Story?" game.
In the afternoon session, our delegates actively engaged in further discussions on the four key topics, building on the debates from the morning. Throughout the session, they participated in both moderated and unmoderated caucuses, allowing for structured exchanges as well as more dynamic, informal discussions. This provided them with the opportunity to delve deeper into the issues at hand, refine their arguments, and collaborate with fellow delegates to explore potential solutions.
TUESDAY : Conference Day 2
From final sessions to well-earned awards, Day 2 wrapped up in style.
