"Global challenges require global solutions. Multilateralism is the key to solving our shared problems and creating a future of prosperity and peace." – Antonio Guterres (UN Secretary-General)
From 24–27 June 2026, the John-Lennon-Gymnasium will once again open its doors to students from Germany and abroad for the third edition of the jlgMUN Conference – a student-organized Model United Nations that brings global issues, diplomacy, and debate to life in the heart of Berlin. This year’s conference will take place under the theme: “Generations in Transition: Building Equity in Times of Change.”
Inspired by the latest UNDP Human Development Report, the theme invites young delegates to explore how demographic shifts, technological innovation, and social inequality shape our shared future. Over four days, participants will discuss pressing global questions: How can societies adapt to rapid change while ensuring fairness and opportunity for all? How can the voices of younger generations influence political, social, and economic transformation?
