To participate in the Change the World Model UN Conference it is necessary to send the application and face a selection interview with the staff members of Change the World. Selected candidates are given the opportunity to enroll in Change the World Academy and attend the entire training course that ends with their participation in the CWMUN Conference. Access to CWMUN events is only granted to students who are regularly enrolled in the Change the World Academy and completed the preliminary course.

Thanks to Associazione Diplomatici, main sponsor of the Change the World Model UN,  all the eligible applicants can take advantage of merit-based grant that includes:

• a financial aid that can be spent as deduction from the Change the World Academy enrollment fees;
• free participation to the CWMUN NYC Conference;
• free access to the Conference(s) venue(s).

The pricing you see is only valid for those students who passed the selection interview and automatically benefit from the Associazione Diplomatici merit-based grant.

Due to the current Covid-19 pandemic underway, it is absolutely necessary to check the provisions of the American authorities on international travel. We recommend that you visit the US Department of State official website to collect all the useful information and travel safely.

Citizens of VWP countries need to register with the US Department of Homeland Security three days before their visit. There is a $14 fee for registration application; when approved, the registration is valid for two years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.

The US Visa Waiver Program (VWP) allows nationals of 38 countries to enter the US without a visa. The US VWP allows nationals from 38 countries to enter the US without a visa, provided they are carrying a machine-readable passport. For the up-to-date list of countries included in the program and current requirements, see the US Department of State website. If you are not part of these countries, please make sure to ask your American Embassy or Consulate for additional information about the documents you need to visit the U.S.

CWMUN is more than happy to assist you while getting a Visa offering help or writing your letter of invitation. However, writing a letter of invitation does not guarantee you are getting a Visa, CWMUN will not interfere with any Embassy or Consulate decisions or contact them on behalf on any person. Before planning your trip, please contact your local authorities for further information on how to get your Visa successfully.

If you need a letter, please email us and submit your passport information. A copy of your passport is mandatory to get your letter. A CWMUN Staff Member will get back to you with additional information in no time.

This information is only a guide. Some visa offices may ask for administrative fees. Make sure to have all info at your end before submitting your request.

To be safe in NYC is to use general common sense. However, with so many different neighborhoods and such dense population, there are some safety tips you should know when traveling in NYC. Keep Your Valuables Safe: The CWMUN host Hotel offers in-room safes that are laptop compatible. For peace of mind, we highly recommend storing your valuables in these free safes. Know Who is at Your Door: When you hear a knock on the door, make sure to check through the peep hole on the door before opening it. During the CWMUN week, CWMUN Security Staff Members will walk around floors at night to make sure everything is okay. They always wear an identification badge. Do not Travel in Unmarked NY Taxi Cabs: Commonly referred to as “Gypsy Cabs,” these unmarked NYC taxicabs are usually non-metered, non-insured and non-licensed. Avoid a rip-off – or something worse – by denying a trip in these unmarked NY taxicabs.
