About GALMUN
The Galabov Model United Nations Club (GALMUN), based at the 91st German Language High School in Sofia, Bulgaria, started in 2022 as a small group of motivated students with a shared interest in international relations. Since then, it has grown into one of the leading MUN communities in the country, now organizing some of Bulgaria's largest international conferences. Alongside hosting events, our members actively participate in numerous conferences, both locally and abroad, gaining valuable experience and recognition.
