TESMUN
An Experience That Transforms
Tradition, excellence and leadership
Model United Nations (Model UN) events are academic simulations of the United Nations’ bodies, held worldwide in schools and universities. In these settings, students take on the role of delegates from different countries and actively participate in debates and negotiations on key issues on the international agenda.
TESMUN (The English School Model United Nations) is our school’s Model United Nations programme, which was established over 20 years ago, positioning The English School as a pioneer in the implementation of Model UN programmes within the school context in Colombia. This track record makes TESMUN a national and international benchmark, recognised for its high academic standards and its educational impact on students.
