About Us: Empower Voices, Build Connections
Jogja International Model United Nations (JOINMUN) is an International Model United Nations conference initiated by the Universitas Gadjah Mada Model United Nations Community . It brings together emerging leaders to explore urgent global issues through structured debate, negotiation, coalition-building, and resolution drafting. In professionally moderated councils, delegates represent countries, institutions, or relevant stakeholders while learning to balance national interests with collective action.
More than an academic simulation, JOINMUN is a space for intellectual curiosity, intercultural exchange, and responsible leadership. By combining high academic standards with the hospitality and cultural richness of Yogyakarta, the conference empowers participants to sharpen their reasoning, express ideas confidently, and build connections beyond the committee room.

The 2026 Theme!
Beyond the Status Quo: Diplomacy for an Evolving World
The theme begins with a simple recognition:
The conditions shaping international affairs are changing faster than diplomatic habits can accommodate.
Emerging technologies, environmental disruption, contested information, shifting economic relations, and increasingly complex conflicts demand forms of cooperation that are more adaptive, inclusive, and progressive.
To move beyond the status quo is to examine where established approaches remain valuable, where they have become insufficient, and how they can evolve in response to new realities. JOINMUN 2026 therefore invites delegates to question assumptions, listen across differences, and design solutions that are both principled and workable. Throughout the conference, diplomacy is presented not as a passive reaction to change, but as a means of shaping it.
