In late January 2026, eight Bilingual Program students from Europa 2000 High School traveled to Cambridge, U.K., to compete at Cambridge Model United Nations (CAMMUN), one of the most prestigious international Model United Nations conferences in Europe.
❓ What Is Model United Nations?
Model United Nations (MUN) is an academic simulation of the real United Nations. Students act as “delegates” representing assigned countries and debate real-world global issues in committees that mirror those of the UN.
Delegates must:
• Research their country’s foreign policy
• Deliver formal speeches
• Negotiate with other countries
• Draft and amend resolutions
• Vote on proposed solutions
The topics are complex and highly relevant to today’s world. Success requires maturity, critical thinking, diplomacy, and strong public speaking skills. 🌟
🚀 A Young Team with Big Ambitions
Four of our students were attending their first international conference, and one delegate had never participated in an official MUN competition before. However, they understood the responsibility of representing Hungary 🇭🇺, the Bilingual Program, and Europa 2000 High School.
With additional motivation from the Nemzeti Tehetség Program grant, preparation began early and intensively—even during Winter Break. 📚

🎤 Three Days of Diplomacy in Cambridge
The conference lasted three days, from Friday to Sunday.
Opening Ceremonies 🎓
Delegates were welcomed by organizers and an inspiring keynote address from Menna Rawlings, a senior British diplomat and the first female UK Ambassador to France. Our students actively participated in the Q&A session, asking about her experiences as a woman in diplomacy.
