Latvian Model United Nations (LVMUN)

Latvian Model United Nations (LVMUN) is an incentive by the students of the Stockholm School of Economics in Riga in 2012. The first LVMUN took place in 2013 and gathered more than 150 delegates from 10 countries. The conference was held with the help of the Senior Vice President of Stockholm School of Economics in Riga Gunnar Ljungdahl and the Ambassadors of Austria, Sweden and Finland to Riga. The aim of LVMUN is to promote diplomacy and encourage an open dialogue on complex global issues, including international peace and security, economic and social progress. At LVMUN, delegates gain insight into the workings of the United Nations and the dynamics of international relations. They gain a chance to engage in a debate on pre-selected topics, and well as react to crisis that emerges during the conference. The ultimate goal of every committee at LVMUN is to pass a resolution that is comprehensive and broad enough to provide an adequate solution to the question at hand, while at the same time is accepted by as many delegates as possible.
