Why is being a Delegate so rewarding? Read Alexander`s story, an alumnus from the 22nd Delegation:
"As a multinational Global Law student, eager to better explore international legal frameworks in practice and deepen my connection to the work I do with the Next Humanitarians, I applied for the United Netherlands Delegation. Being selected as one of 30 delegates for the United Nations and Multilateral Diplomacy: Theory and Practice course has provided me with an exclusive opportunity to delve deeper into the workings of multilateral diplomacy and the role of the United Nations within it. Combining academic rigour, social entrepreneurship, and public speaking, the program has enabled me to apply my legal background and demonstrate acquired skills at the Oxford International, Dutch Invitational, and Harvard National MUN conferences.
The opportunity to engage in diplomatic debate on global issues in the heart of Oxford or Boston, alongside delegates from all corners of the world with diverse educational backgrounds, was eye-opening and reinforced my passion for (re)shaping global governance through international law. I can say with certainty that this experience is invaluable to anyone pursuing a career in international law or multilateral diplomacy. Ultimately, while the program has given me a wealth of knowledge and enriching experiences, the most precious takeaway is the long-lasting professional connections and friendships that one forms throughout."
June 30th 2025 – The last day of the 21st Board

Another year, another HSPMUN!
After months of preparation, 10 schools from across the Netherlands joined us in Nijmegen. Over 300 students put their debating skills into practice across 9 committees, discussing topics ranging from economics to history and social issues.
We were especially honored to welcome Felix Lomans as our keynote speaker – president of the 3rd board of United Netherlands and the person under whose leadership HSPMUN first came to life. We are proud that HSPMUN has been part of United Netherlands for nearly 20 years, and we hope it will continue to grow with each edition.
A big thank you to all participants, chairs, and teachers who made this conference possible. Congratulations to all award winners and see you next year!
