NEIMUN 2021 Secretariat

NEIMUN 2021 Secretariat Applications are now CLOSED

The North East India International Model United Nations is a non-profit educational foundation. The objective of the NEIMUN is to encourage students on active participation and study of international organizations and global issues. We hope to advance the interest of international education through promotion of Model United Nations conferences across North East India. Our goal is to train future young leaders through the participation and simulations of the United Nations in India and across the world. NEIMUN is the first Model UN in India to follow the rules or procedures adapted from the Global Model United Nations Conference and the actual Rules of Procedure of the United Nations General Assembly. These rules are intended to comply with the UN4MUN initiative by the United Nations Department of Public Information.

To assist with the planning and organization of NEIMUN 2021 Conference and related activities, a group of young people will be selected to serve as Secretariat officials, similar to those in the United Nations and Organising committee. The roles are critical to the management of the NEIMUN Leadership Conference 2021.

The aim is to have a geographically diverse and gender balanced group of NEIMUN officials who will take on leadership roles in the planning and management of NEIMUN 2021.
We aspire to create something amazing for young people. 250 young people between 16-25 engage and participate in NEIMUN conferenced and programmes every year. It’s truly an enriching and memorable experience, and we believe that it is something special for someone to say that they helped run a NEIMUN conference.
Giving opportunities to youths, NEIMUN is organized, run, and staffed by young volunteers alone. We are looking for current college students, graduates and post graduates, passionate to make a difference.

If any of this resonates with you, we strongly encourage you to apply! Although the prospect may seem intimidating, it’s important not to discredit yourself! There’s no harm in applying, and the best outcome is your getting accepted! Any questions regarding the application process should be emailed to northeastindiamun@gmail.com.
