CLEIMUN25 Conference
St. Edward High School and other partner schools across Greater Cleveland are excited to welcome students to CLEIMUN25 on Feb. 12-14 2025.
The Cleveland International Model United Nations conference is the only one of its kind in the world, combining elements from the “North American” and “THIMUN or European” styles.
CLEIMUN25 will run on-site and in person at St. Edward High School in Lakewood, Ohio on Wednesday Feb. 12 (4 p.m. to 7 p.m.), Thursday Feb. 13 (8 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and Friday Feb. 14 (8 a.m. to 4 p.m.).
CLEIMUN25 Theme
CLEIMUN25’s theme, The Relationship between Technology and the Development for a Sustainable Future.
This complex relationship spans global affairs, sovereignty, human rights, political ideologies and more. CLEIMN25’s conference allows delegates to explore this relationship and examine how it shapes international relations in this era. Conversations include realms of ethical, legal, and diplomacy to ensure that all nations are economically conscious for the future ahead.
CLEIMUN25 committees will explore areas of access to resources, the consequences of climate change, and the effectiveness of safe technological practices. Delegates will have the opportunity to debate over moral and ethical questions in a way that is unique and embodies the principles of a diplomat. CLEIMUN25 will allow delegates to foster and generate innovative ideas to help solve the ongoing problem of aligning technology with ecological practices for a better future and world.
How It Works
CLEIMUN’s unique style combines elements of MUN operating systems from across the world.
Typically, delegates in European models prepare draft resolutions before the conference. The delegates lobby and merge their resolutions with other countries in their committee with the goal of constructing a comprehensive set of ideas that will stand up to debate. After lobbying, resolutions go to the Approvals Panel, which makes sure the papers are formatted correctly.
Debate in CLEIMUN is oriented around the North American model. While the conference uses a speaker’s list to structure debate, many of the delegates’ discussions will take place in unmoderated caucuses.
The blend of two distinct styles of procedure allows delegates to experience the best of both worlds, while also encouraging robust debate.
CLEIMUN25 will take place in person at Saint Edward High School, located at 13500 Detroit Rd in Lakewood, Ohio. In the event that weather, COVID-19 or other circumstances prevent an in-person experience, we will transition to an online or hybrid format!
