About the
SEOMUN XXVII
For the past decade, the Seoul Model United Nations (SEOMUN) has been a beacon of global cooperation and youth leadership, providing a platform for students to engage with the world's most pressing issues. As we prepare for the 27th session, our conference theme for this year's gathering is "Navigating Unknown Frontiers."
The theme “Navigating Unknown Frontiers” prompts us to confront the challenges of our time, including the complexities of ongoing conflicts and geopolitical shifts. As technology evolves at an unprecedented pace, it pushes the boundaries of what is possible, opening new frontiers and posing new challenges.
In an era marked by rapid change and uncertainty, SEOMUN recognizes the necessity for future leaders to possess resilience and adaptability. Our conference serves as a catalyst for dialogue, collaboration, and innovative problem-solving, transcending borders and ideologies.
