TO REGISTER:
REGISTRATION INFORMATION/ TERMS & CONDITIONS
Eligibility
DIGIVATIONS XGENS has been fortunate to establish a collaboration with WFUNA and WIMUN Geneva 2019 as the North American Recruiting Partner.
WFUNA International Model UN welcomes youth between the age of 14 and 30 from North America, Europe, Asia, South America, Africa, and Oceania who have experience in Model UN or have high interest in global affairs and the United Nations.
XGENS Delegate participants must be enrolled in a high school, university, grad school, or be a recent graduate under the age of 30.
High school and university level conferences will operate separately with the exception of Opening and Closing Ceremonies and Plenaries, the WIMUN Geneva Global Experience Social Event, and “CERN, BERN, ZERMATT & ZURICH XGENS Educational Expedition.”
University XGENS delegates may register as part of a group or as an individual. XGENS Delegates will still be able to identify as also representing their originating University or College.
WFUNA International Model UN traditionally requires that High school delegates must register as part of a group. WIMUN Geneva traditionally requires high school groups to be accompanied by at least one faculty advisor. However, one of the advantages of XGENS is that individual High School students may register as XGENS Delegates without being part of a group; and High School GROUPS do not require a Faculty Advisor as members of the XGENS Delegation. High School groups that do not have a Faculty Advisor and are registered as XGENS Delegates will still be able to identify as also representing their originating High School.
WIMUN Geneva also welcomes advisors who have a role in planning and organizing a MUN conferences and teachers who use Model UN in their education curriculum. WIMUN Geneva traditionally requires high school groups to be accompanied by at least one faculty advisor. XGENS High School Delegates who register individually or as part of a group will ideally have a chaperon accompanying them to Geneva. If not, they must pay an additional XGENS chaperone fee.
Registration Deadlines
All registration are accepted on a first come, first served basis. Once maximum capacity is reached, Delegates will be able to register to be placed on a waitlist.
Regular registration period is until August 29, 2019. Late registration ends on October 14 and will require a late registration fee.
***Later Registrations will likely not enable XGENS Delegates the full benefit opportunities afforded those who register early.

They are located near the Cornavin train station, which provides easy public transport access to everywhere else in Geneva, like CERN, and its surrounding areas.
Delegates benefit from not needing to go through the morning rush hour commute and can easily retreat to their rooms after sessions that end late at 9pm at night.

Hotel rooms should be booked directly with XGENS through registration. Hotel room packages are limited and will no longer be available at the discounted rate once the room block is filled.
