The WLMUN XVIII Secretariat
West Lake MUN has been held at Hangzhou International School for 19 years. We are excited to once again invite schools throughout China to meet with us in person for West Lake MUN XIX in 2025.
At West Lake MUN, we are committed to providing delegates with a conference experience that is positive both inside and out. We believe that a good MUN experience relies on providing both new and experienced delegates with a supportive and enriching environment. Our goal is for students to take leadership roles, seek out mentorship, and be part of a fun and collaborative atmosphere.
