The Swiss Model United Nations of São Paulo (SMUNSP) is the Model United Nations (MUN) conference and club of the Swiss School of São Paulo. However, to understand SMUNSP, it is first necessary to understand what MUN is.

MUN is an educational simulation of the United Nations created by high school students to learn about diplomacy and international relations. In these simulations, students are divided into committees and assigned different roles: delegates, chairs, crisis directors, and press members. Delegates debate important global issues, while chairs moderate discussions and maintain order. Crisis directors introduce unpredictable events to make debates more dynamic, and press members act as journalists, writing articles that capture the highlights of each committee. Every role plays an essential part in promoting critical thinking, eloquence, and logical reasoning, as well as fostering a broader understanding of world affairs.

Around the world, many schools and universities host their own MUN conferences, and the SMUNSP Club proudly represents the Swiss School of São Paulo in several of them. Delegates from different high school years attend these external events, meeting new people and learning from other participants both inside and outside the school. It is a truly enriching experience that combines learning, collaboration, and friendship.

The Swiss School of São Paulo also organizes its own conference: SMUNSP. It was first held in 2018, when a group of students decided to create their own event. Since then, SMUNSP has grown into an annual tradition. The Organizing Team, divided into various departments, works tirelessly to make the conference possible, from arranging accommodation for guests to assigning delegates to committees.

This year, the Swiss School of São Paulo proudly hosts the eighth edition of SMUNSP, with great enthusiasm and dedication. The Secretariat and Organizing Team are committed to deliver the most engaging and inspiring conference yet, ensuring that every participant leaves with lasting memories, new friendships, and a passion for global understanding.
