ExMUN is a prestigious student society at Exeter offering its members weekly debates and workshops, a packed conference schedule (where we send delegates to some of the best Model United Nations conferences around the globe), a forum to mix with like-minded students with an avid interest in international relations and current affairs and last but certainly not least our amazing socials and intramural teams.

We have the pleasure of announcing our sixth debate of the year: ‘Addressing the impact of social media on conflict’, with the study guide being found on our Linktree!

The rise of social media has changed how quick information spread during conflicts, with disinformation influencing public opinion and international responses. These online narratives can increase existing tensions and pose significant threats to international security.

DISEC should consider how the international community can address the impacts of social media on conflict, while balancing national security concerns. Delegates will have to consider the effectiveness of conflict moderation and the role of non-state actors in spreading propaganda.

Join us on Tuesday the 13th of October at 6:30 to discuss this issue.

We hope to see you there!💙

We’re pleased to announce that our first conference of the year will be ULMUN 2026, hosted at King’s College London!

ULMUN is targeted at beginners with little to no experience of MUN, with several beginner committees this year to choose from! For more experienced debaters, ULMUN offers three intermediate and two advanced committees. 🗣️

This will be one of the most affordable conferences of the year, with a low delegate fee and a one-night overnight stay. 🛏️

If you’d like to attend, please let us know by filling out this form (which can also be found in our bio) by Saturday, 10th October: https://forms.gle/PXQ6WPK1o1uecTku9

To be clear, this is a form to sign up to the ExMUN delegation. Once the conference applications open you will need to sign up and pay your delegate fee. Isabel will be making an announcement when conference applications are open, so please make sure that you regularly check your messages to avoid confusion.

For any questions you may have, please feel free to send us a message, or talk to Isabel, our dedicated Conferences Officer.

We have the pleasure of announcing our fifth debate of the year: Addressing the return of colonial artefacts, with the study guide being found on our Linktree

Colonialism has left a lasting impact on most Member States, with many artefacts being removed from their countries of origin during colonial rule. Despite ongoing efforts, many artefacts remain in museums outside of their cultural communities, with political barriers complicating their return.

SPECPOL should consider how the international community can address the return of these artefacts, whilst navigating competing claims and the role of museums and cultural institutions. Delegates will have to consider the effectiveness of existing mechanisms and whether there should be international action to encourage repatriation.

Join us on Tuesday the 6th of October at 6:30 to discuss this issue.

We hope to see you there! 💙

We’re thrilled to announce our third social of the year, ExMUN Taskmaster! ✉️

Come along to Forum Exploration Lab 2 at 19:00 on Thursday, 8th October, to be involved in this social inspired by the famous TV show, in which you’ll be involved in the completion of tasks over the course of an incredibly competitive evening. 📺

Task #1 - “Prize Task”*
Bring the most ‘confusing’’ item from your room.
Be prepared to explain what makes your item so “confusing”.
The Taskmaster will judge based on intrigue, backstory, and overall unease.
Bear in mind, you will not be parting with these items.

Also please note that this is a sober event. While this is a free event, it is also tickeded, tickets can be found on our Fixr, which is in our Bio!

We hope to see you there…

…and good luck! 💙

We have the pleasure of announcing our fourth debate of the year: Addressing the necessity of global security as a regional organisation, with the study guide being found on our LinkTree!

NATO was originally established as a regional defence alliance to protect the security of its member states and the North Atlantic region. However NATO has increasingly become more involved in international security beyond its traditional region including through its interventions in Afghanistan and Libya. Subsequently, questions have begun to emerge over the extent to which NATO should itself in global security.

NATO must strive to consider whether it should take a greater role in addressing global security, whilst also attempting to encourage greater cooperation with other regional organisations. However, NATO’s founding treaty has placed limits on the organisation’s traditional role so representatives will have to consider the possibility of expanding NATO’s international involvement whilst maintaining consensus between its member states.

Join us on Tuesday the 29th of September at 6:30pm to discuss this nuanced issue.

We’re excited to announce our first Crisis of the year, The Greco-Persian Multi-Cabinet Crisis!

The year is 481 BC. Xerxes, King of Kings, ruler of the Persian empire and the most powerful man in the world, has set his sights on Greece, a patchwork of quarreling city states on the outskirts of the known world. They have undermined the rule of the Persian emperor, supporting rebels against Persia and endangered the safety of its subjects. Xerxes has resolved to raise a mighty army to crush these rogue states.

But Greece is not idle. A ‘Hellenic League’ has been formed, uniting the various city states of Greece into a powerful alliance. In the mountain passes of northern and central Greece, and in the seas of the Aegean, they will wage an epic battlefortheir freedom.

Join us in Forum Seminar Room 10 on the 18th of October, from 9:45am-5pm.

Sign-ups are required to attend, so make sure you to register through our LinkTree to secure your place!

We hope to see you there! 💙

We have the pleasure of announcing our third debate of the year: Addressing human trafficking and drug smuggling across the Mediterranean, with the study guide being found on our LinkTree!

Organised criminal networks have continued to exploit the Central Mediterranean Route to transport vulnerable people and drugs across borders. Human trafficking involves the exploitation of vulnerable individuals for profit, whilst drug smuggling provides criminal networks with access to markets across Europe. Subsequently, these issues are increasingly beginning to overlap.

The UNODC must strive to create a resolution which can address the expansion of these networks across the Mediterranean, whilst also attempting to encourage greater international cooperation. However, national sovereignty remains a significant barrier to cross-border enforcement, so delegates will have to consider the possibility for multilateralism whilst maintaining control over their own affairs.

Join us on Tuesday the 22nd of September at 6:30pm to discuss this nuanced issue.

We hope to see you there! 💙
