EMERGE Zambia × Eden University — hosted at home in Zambia
EMERGE Zambia, in partnership with Eden University, proudly presents the first of its kind international Model United Nations conference hosted in Zambia — welcoming delegates from across the world.
This is not just another conference.
From 2nd to 5th June 2026, Lusaka will welcome 500 delegates — young diplomats, policy thinkers, scholars, and change-makers — united by one mission: to rethink global cooperation in a polarized world.
Diplomacy under pressure.
This is not a passive debate. This is a continental conversation designed to confront hard questions about accountability, justice, global systems, and the role of youth in redefining diplomacy.
500 International & Local Delegates
A dynamic mix of global and African voices — diverse perspectives, real networks.
Venues of National Significance
MICC, National Assembly of Zambia, Eden University, and 464 for the gala.
Expert Training Before the Conference
Diplomacy, IR, rules of procedure, negotiation strategy — delivered by EMERGE & partners.
The world is shifting. Youth are watching — and rising.
The global order is fragmenting. Trust in institutions is declining. EMERGE–EDEN MUN 2026 is built to confront the difficult questions — and train leaders who can respond.
Questions we confront
- Is Agenda 2063 Africa’s blueprint for transformation — or a deferred dream?
- Are the SDGs a real roadmap — or a political narrative?
- Can global institutions still deliver justice?
- What is the role of youth in redefining diplomacy?
What makes this different
- Exclusive Embassy Mission Briefings: real foreign policy insights from diplomatic missions in Lusaka.
- 5KM Delegate Marathon: because diplomacy also requires discipline.
- Cultural Showcase & Gala Night: celebrate diversity, identity, and global exchange.
