Unofficial databases of Model United Nations conferences
While there is no official repository of Model United Nations conferences, there are several online resources that list Model United Nations conferences, most notably Best Delegate, MyMUN, unreform.org, MUNPlanet High School Model UN Calendar, MUNPlanet University Model UN Calendar, THIMUN Foundation for world-wide THIMUN affiliated interscholastic conferences, model-un.de for conferences in Germany, MUNation for conference in Sri Lanka and a Facebook page called "MUN Dae Jun" for conferences in the Republic of Korea. While some of these resources editorialize their databases, others allow conference hosts to submit and advertise their own conferences.
MUNs are growing popular among the youth of almost every country. A popular example of this can be witnessed in the city of Lucknow in India. There, a group of young students have teamed up and are going to organise the Lucknow Diplomatic Conclave.
