Welcome to BIMUN.

It is my pleasure to welcome you to a growing community that believes in the power of young people to lead, collaborate, and shape a better world. For over a decade, BIMUN has brought together secondary school students, university students, educators, and partners to engage global issues through dialogue, diplomacy, and leadership inspired by the United Nations.

This year, our theme is “Restoring Trust, Managing Transformation: A United Nations that Delivers for All.” The theme reflects the moment we are in: a world where trust between nations and institutions has to be rebuilt, where rapid change has to be managed deliberately, and where the United Nations system has to show real results for the people it serves. Delegates can look forward to engaging debates, thought-provoking committees, leadership development, and meaningful connections that extend beyond the conference rooms.

This year, we are excited to be hosting two conferences:

• BIMUN Zanzibar, in partnership with the SUZA UN Chapter and the African Leadership Initiative for Impact (ALII), holding April 4–10, 2027, and
• The BIMUN Nigeria Conference at Babcock University.

Each conference will offer a unique experience while maintaining the same commitment to excellence, development, and youth empowerment that BIMUN is known for.

I would like to express our sincere appreciation to the United Nations Information Centre (Nigeria) and Babcock University for their consistent support and partnership over the years. Their belief in our mission has been central to our journey and growth. I would also like to welcome the SUZA UN Chapter and the African Leadership Initiative for Impact (ALII) as new partners, and I look forward to what this partnership will build for young people in East Africa.

Whether you are a student stepping into global citizenship, a parent supporting your child’s development, an educator, or a potential partner, we are glad you are here. We look forward to welcoming you to BIMUN and continuing this journey.

Warm regards,
Itoro Victor-Akpan
Executive Director, BIMUN
