HNMUN brings over 3,000 students and faculty together from colleges and universities around the world to simulate the activities of the United Nations. The New Zealand delegation is organised by UN Youth New Zealand and this year brings together 14 delegates from Victoria, Auckland, Canterbury and Otago Universities.

As well as attending the four-day HNMUN conference in Boston, the students will take part in a political and historical tour of the United States, visiting San Francisco, Washington DC and New York to meet with leading diplomats, academics, non-governmental organisations and international financial institutions in each city.
