About

Model United Nations is an internationally recognized extracurricular activity that exposes students to current events while honing real-world skills such as critical thinking, diplomacy, research, negotiation, debate, and policy-making. As an academic simulation of the United Nations, students act as delegates from their assigned countries to advance their interests through delivering speeches, forming alliances, and sponsoring resolutions, among others. 

The 6th Xavier Model United Nations Secretariat has adopted the theme of “Directing the Renaissance of Diplomacy for Peace and Prosperity.” Delegates will charter a course through the ever-changing political climate and global realities while they strive towards a new renaissance of diplomacy. With this in mind, delegates will take charge and direct bold change for renewed peace and prosperity.

The 6th XMUN Conference, the largest interscholastic conference in the Philippines, will be conducted through a hybrid set-up, comprising eight onsite committees and one online committee. The onsite committees will take place at the campus of Xavier School San Juan while the online committee will be conducted through Zoom and Discord.

  • World Bank

    195 seats · Beginner · English
    Money makes the world go round. But with the limited resources present in our reality, the committee demands delegates to be assertive and creative in order to bring long-term prosperity and peace even in contentious areas, with little to no exclusion of major stakeholders. The World Bank, mandated with providing technical and financial support to states, promotes long-term development and poverty reduction, thus contributing to the world's shared prosperity and peace. It is funded by member states’ contributions and commonly prioritizes aspects such as education, access to essential resources and even climate related issues, further exemplifying prosperity and peace.

  • Organization of Islamic Countries

    Intermediate · English
    Many UNSCs in the Philippines MUN circuit have recently been fixated and focused on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, an evolving and complex situation that has caught the attention of world powers. However, this committee would instead prioritize other aspects of the conflict and involve regional stakeholders rather than the international community. This regional bloc would not only mitigate the effects of the conflict, but assist in stabilizing the region in the midst of all this internal conflict. This is the desired end goal of the committee, and stabilization leads to peace and prosperity.
