Welcome to the OUUNA Website!
Hi, welcome to the Oxford University United Nations Association (OUUNA). We are a student society, bringing together members from all of the colleges in Oxford, with the aim of demonstrating our passion for the work of the UN and strengthening international relations.Read more about our principles and aims as a society by reading About OUUNA.
OUUNA holds weekly Model UN debates, regularly hosts speakers' events, and has a packed conference schedule where we send delegations to many of the best Model United Nations around the globe.We are also responsible for organising and running the Oxford International Model United Nations (OxIMUN), which is done by the OxIMUN Secretariat elected from the society.This term we are also pleased to be reintroducing debate dinners - giving members the chance to enjoy an evening of great food and enthralling conversation with renowned experts in the topic under discussion. Since 2008 the association has also published a magazine, The Oxford Internationalist, specialising in international and current affairs with the aim of promoting international awareness and engagement through providing a forum where students can articulate and debate different perspectives and ideas.
