GIRA GLOBAL

GIRA Global focuses on bringing GIRA’s mission of youth education in international affairs worldwide, fostering educational and cultural exchanges across the world. We organize and help support high-quality diplomatic simulations and training programs that emphasize debate, diplomacy, and international relations. Through our partnerships with organizations in various countries, GIRA Global provides immersive experiences designed to inspire and empower the next generation of student leaders in global affairs.

NAIMUN CHINA

One of the oldest United Nations simulations for students in the world, NAIMUN has grown over the years into a conference which brings together thousands of high delegates from diverse backgrounds. GIRA is delighted to bring that conference experience directly to delegates in China through our NAIMUN China program in conjunction with our partners HLE (High Leap Education). As one of our longest standing partnerships, the conference is now in its eighth iteration. Gathering delegates from across the region, NAIMUN China has pushed, and will continue to push, delegates to think critically, debate effectively, and negotiate diplomatically in tackling the most pressing issues of the day.

CACMUN

The Colegio Anglo Colombiano Model United Nations is a prestigious high school Model UN conference held annually in Bogotá, Colombia. Rather than directly staffing the conference, GIRA offers professional development support and mentorship for ambitious delegates from the Spanish-speaking world. GIRA has proudly partnered with CACMUN since 2022, providing online training sessions before the conference and traveling to Bogotá to lead interactive workshops on public speaking and advanced MUN skills.

RIMUN

GIRA is in its second year of a very fruitful partnership with Sciences Po Reims, who run its annual RIMUN conference annually in April. Each year, GIRA sends a number of representatives to help staff RIMUN, predominantly as chairs. As our flagship European partnership, the GIRA-RIMUN collaboration serves as a phenomenal opportunity for members of the GIRA community to engage with students from France and help share their understanding of global affairs through a unique and nuanced lens. 

ALL FOUNDATION ETHIOPIA

A group of people, mostly young women, gathers in front of a large projection screen in a conference room. The screen displays text in Spanish and English, discussing expressing opinions and superpowers. Some participants are talking while others listen. There are flags and chairs along the side of the room.

GIRA, in collaboration with our partner All Foundation, is proud to announce GIRA Ethiopia, our first GIRA-organized conference on the African continent, scheduled for April 2026. Together, we are launching this new conference in Addis Ababa with the goal of expanding access to Model UN and international relations education for students across Ethiopia, particularly in communities that have traditionally lacked such opportunities. Drawing on GIRA’s long history and expertise in youth international relations education, this initiative aims to empower the next generation of Africa’s leaders, equipping them with the skills and knowledge to engage in global diplomacy and leadership. 

ALTITUDE MUN

Altitude MUN (AMUN) is an annual conference hosted in New York City, held in partnership with Altitude for Leadership. A truly global event, this conference brings delegates and staffers together from all over the world to learn and practice diplomacy while exploring New York, a global hub for diplomacy, and participating in various skill-building workshops throughout the weekend. This conference is held at the end of April 2026 and aims to empower the next generation of leaders for whatever future endeavors they might embark on.
