Progressing to Adapt or Adapting to Progress?
November 14-16 2025
Esteemed directors, fellow delegates, and distinguished guests,
Our secretariat team is thrilled to announce that the nineteenth plenary session of West Lake Model United Nations conference would be held from November 14 to 16, 2025.
The theme for West Lake MUN XIX, "Progressing to Adapt or Adapting to Progress?" explores the dynamic relationship between innovation and resilience in global affairs. “Progressing to Adapt”, suggests that societies must drive advancement—whether in technology, governance, or policy—to proactively prepare for emerging challenges. While “Adapting to Progress” implies that change is inevitable, and institutions must react to developments that are already shaping the world. In this view, adaptation is a response to progress rather than a catalyst for it.
We are honored to host ten committees, including the United Nations Environmental Programme, Economic and Social Council, United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund, World Health Organizations, United Lunar Nations, Special Political and Decolonization Committee, Social, Humanitarian, and Cultural Committee, Security Council, Crisis Committee, and Ad Hoc. Our committees are offered to beginner, regular/intermediate, and advanced level students.
West Lake MUN XIX offers exclusive Director’s Workshops, providing in-depth training and insights from experienced MUN directors. We also provide chair mentorship programs to ensure that first time chairs feel comfortable and prepared walking into the committee room.
West Lake MUN provides an unparalleled Model United Nations experience, where middle school and high school students come together to engage in dynamic debates and diplomacy.
Should you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us directly at mun@hisdragons.org.cn. We look forward to meeting you at West Lake MUN XIX in November 2025!
