SOCIAL EVENTS

On Friday and Saturday evenings we will be offering social events. Participation is not mandatory but they are a perfect chance for everyone to get to know their fellow participants personally.

During the social event on Friday, the participants can play board games or simply socialize with their fellow delegates. In the beginning, everyone will get a get-to-know bingo sheet which they need to complete during the social event.

On Saturday evening, we will have a Delegates’ Dance. The dress code is smart casual. We would be happy for you to dress in the traditional wear of your country of origin. 

Also on Saturday and Sunday at 7am there will be the opportunity to do a workout lead by one member of the Secretary General.

Age & Participation are restricted by the German Government.

BayernMUN is open to university and high school students. Participation without supervision is only possible for delegates who are older than 16 years at the time of the conference.

DISCOVER NÜRNBERG

The Conference will take place in the heart of the famous city of Nuremberg. Let us introduce you to a charming and lively medieval town with a vast history.

Nürnberg is:

  • the city of the first assembly of nobles under several German Kings in the Middle Ages and was a center of merchandising, the arts and craftsmanship;
  • the birthplace of Albrecht Dürer, the famous painter and contemporary of Martin Luther;
  • the place where the annual conventions of the Nazi movement, called Reichsparteitage were held and where the Nazi leaders were put on trial and sentenced after the end of World War II;
  • a city that prides itself nowadays on being the City of Human Rights and that engages in many activities promoting the idea of Human Rights;
  • a city with the skyline of its impressive world-famous medieval castle called the Kaiserburg, the Emperors’ castle;
  • a hospitable city with vast traditional and en-vogue gastronomy, famous beers and ambitious cuisine.

Please be aware that we do not offer a tourist program. Contact us via e-mail for additional information if you have time before or after the conference to discover Nuremberg.
