About The John's MUN 2024
The John’s MUN 2024 which gets underway on October 4, 2024, will be the fourth edition of the annual Model United Nations conference hosted by St. John’s High School, Chandigarh. The three-day conference from October 4, 2024, to October 6, 2024, will host more than 400 delegates from schools across the country and even beyond.
With around 10 committees to choose from, students with varied interests will have worthwhile choices to make at The John’s MUN 2024. One salient feature of The John’s MUN will be a virtual committee open for high school students from all over the world. This committee will address geographical differences in the truest sense to make this conference international.
Moreover, this time we deliberated on a key question, “why should MUNs be limited to senior classes and shouldn’t junior classes too have access to public speaking opportunities like these? We came to the conclusion that junior classes too should be introduced to the world of MUNs at the earliest. Hence, another major highlight of this MUN will be a committee only and only for junior classes i.e. classes 6th, 7th and 8th. This is where this conference will take one more stride ahead of contemporary MUNs.
Owing to the grand success of the previous three editions of The John’s MUN embraced by personalities like Mr. Patrick Hebert, the Consulate General of Canada and the Bollywood Star Ayushmann Khurrana, the buzz around The John’s MUN 2024 is already electrifying. To top that, highlights of The John’s MUN 2024 including an international virtual committee, a junior committee and much more further augment the excitement.
The conference will see hundreds of future change leaders curate positive change as they work in collaboration with each other cutting through traditional foreign or party policies. The conference will be a perfect personification of an empowering platform for future leaders to make the most of.
Lastly, The John’s MUN 2024 comes with exciting cash awards and a solid social purpose. All of this put together will make it North India’s most unique and biggest Model United Nations Conference.

A Walk Through Our
Previous Editions
We have three highly successful previous editions to brag about and each year, we only set the benchmark higher
The John’s MUN 2021
While the world was gripped by the unfortunate COVID-19 pandemic creating a global health emergency, St. John’s High School, Chandigarh hosted Tricity’s maiden international conference in the virtual mode.
The exemplary success of the first edition of The John’s MUN can be attributed to the collaborative efforts of the school, the University of Windsor and Silver Fern Education Consultants. University Living also extended its support as a partner for the conference.
The virtual simulation entailed 8 smartly curated committees discussing key agendas. The success of the conference set a new precedent for virtual MUNs as the trend was picking up amid lockdown scenarios.
All the possible barriers to the virtual simulation of the conference were accounted for and eradicated strategically to make the conference successful. People still vividly remember this conference as one of the best virtual MUNs ever.
The John’s MUN 2022
Riding on the success of The John’s MUN 2021, St. John’s High School, the University of Windsor and Silver Fern Education Consultants collaborated again to give Chandigarh its first-ever offline global Model United Nations in 2022. Other partners included CLAT Possible and University Living.
The MUN hosted more than two fifty young delegates across seven meticulously planned committees discussing agendas of national and international importance. A few highlight committees at John’s MUN 2022 included the International Court of Justice, Truman’s Interim Committee and the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development.
The John’s MUN 2022 was graced by the presence of Mr. Patrick Hebert, the Consulate General of Canada and Ayushmann Khurrana, the handsome Bollywood actor and a distinguished alumnus of St. John’s High School, Chandigarh. With such a presence at the conference coupled with intellectual deliberations across all committees, this conference set the bar for MUNs very high.
The John’s MUN 2023
With standards set very high by the 2022 edition, The John’s MUN 2023 had a tough benchmark to breach. However, with the strategic partnership between St. John’s High School and Silver Fern Education Consultants, the scale of the MUN was further enhanced. John’s MUN 2023 thrived on the ethos of ‘Solidifying Sustainability’ and with the notion of sustainability at the forefront, the three-day conference was able to make a real difference.
Speaking of committees, the White House Situation Room, Crisis Committee X and the International Cricket Council were among the hotshot simulations. The John’s MUN 2023 hosted more than 350 delegates spread across 8 committees. Not only was it a huge success in terms of a public speaking event but also enabled more than 350 students to network with like-minded individuals. Not to forget, the zealous social evening also remained a key highlight of the conference.
This has been the grandest edition of the John’s Model United Nations thus far. The relentless efforts of the organizing committee, teachers and every other individual involved in the conference surely paid off! Now, as the precedence is, we only aim to upscale it from here having created an unparalleled legacy.
