Cultural activities

As last years, CHAU'MUN went along a cultural tour in the city of Chaumont. First of all, the visit went around the remains of the fortified city: the dujon and " la tour d'Arse" (litteraly: the Arse tower). Then the visit headed to the center of the city: the Jésuites's chapel, the city hall and the marketplace. The students also saw the historical parks.

Each MUN is also know for its MUN-Party, a fest where each munist is invited. This year, the band The Lab gave us an amazing pop-rock style concert.

CHAU'MUN 2025:

The second edition of CHAU’MUN happened from 19th to 21th of March 2025. It gathered 142 students from 10 different countries. The students debated in five committees UNDRR (English-speaking), UNHDR (English-speaking), UNSC (English-speaking), C40 (English-speaking), CSNU (French-speaking).

English-speaking conference: C40

From an original idea, also held a C40 committee, gathering some of the 40 most influential cities in the world. Debating as a city and not as a country was as complex as culturally enriching for the delegates.
