The THIMUN Qatar Regional Office was created in 2011 as a joint project between Qatar Academy and the THIMUN Foundation. The program, now operating under PreUniversity Education at the Qatar Foundation, supports efforts around the region to develop Model UN programs and events for young people through discussion, negotiation, debate, and personal action, solutions to the various problems of the world.
We are unique in working with student leaders from around the world to create these key educational opportunities, and in including marginalised groups in our work.

THIMUN Qatar offers one of the largest professional development conferences in the Middle East. The Qatar Leadership Conference (QLC) is designed around the concept of developing student leadership within schools specifically in MUN, service and activism, and media studies. Students and teachers participate together in workshops and conference activities. Over 44 unique workshops are offered over two and a half days, bringing together internationally renowned thought leaders, local professionals and educators, and most importantly, globally minded students wishing to further their ability to be leaders in their community.
Middle School Model United Nations

Committees are capped at 40 delegates, and delegates take part in an enrichment activity which connects to the SDG they are working on. for more information please do see our website: http://msmun.thimunqatarpress.org/
Arabic Model United Nations in Qatar, is a one-day conference will mark an integral development in the Arabic program, built on the success of the SRC MENA committees of THIMUN Qatar’s previous 3 conferences. The theme for this conference is Human Rights, and it will run five committees focused on international issues, exclusively in Arabic. Registration for this conference opens September every year.
In addition, the region office works with national partner organisations and schools throughout the region to develop MUN programs. The THIMUN Foundation MUN conference affiliation program allows partner schools to achieve affiliation status for their conference. In addition, educational materials, local training conferences, and many other opportunities are available for schools within the region.
