Our history

The Model UN club at Gimnazija Bezigrad is student-led and allows students the opportunity to explore the world of diplomacy, get acquainted with the workings of the United Nations, delve into global problems, and work towards constructive solutions. The students participating in the club develop critical and empathic thinking skills, and with each new conference, they take a step out of their comfort zone to explore the world around them. The delegations from Gimnazija Bezigrad have, over the years, attended many prestigious conferences across Europe and have won awards and honours, making friendships and connections across the continent.
