Al-Muhajirien Model United Nations 2026 in Bekasi Brings Together 200 Delegates and International Diplomatic Standards

Bekasi, April 11, 2026 — The Al-Muhajirien Model United Nations (AMUN) 2026 was successfully held on April 11–12, 2026 at Four Points by Sheraton Bekasi, bringing together approximately 200 delegates from 61 schools across Greater Jakarta and beyond.

The forum served as a simulation of United Nations sessions, gathering students from various educational levels in an international diplomatic setting. Over the course of two days, delegates engaged in a comprehensive diplomatic process, ranging from drafting country positions and delivering arguments to negotiating with fellow delegates and formulating resolutions on various global issues.

AMUN 2026 featured two main councils: UNESCO and WHO. In the UNESCO council, delegates discussed the topic “Tackling Cyberbullying: Ensuring Safe and Friendly Online Spaces for Students,” highlighting the importance of safeguarding digital environments for learners. Meanwhile, the WHO council addressed “Safeguarding Indigenous Knowledge of Traditional Medicine While Ensuring Scientific Validation,” balancing the preservation of traditional knowledge with scientific validation within global health systems.

All sessions were moderated by international chairs, including Fatima Massa, Zara Pang, as well as Paris Crishen Liuand Hino Samuel Jose. With their experience, each session was conducted not only in accordance with formal procedures but also encouraged active, critical, and constructive engagement among participants.

Al-Muhajirien Model United Nations (AMUN) 2026 is a Model United Nations forum jointly organized by International Global Network (IGN) and the Al-Muhajirien Jakapermai Foundation, incorporating international standards through the AYIMUN program, which is part of global conference networks such as Asia World Model United Nations (AWMUN).

The conference was attended by Abdul Mu'ti, Indonesia’s Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, as well as Tri Adhianto Tjahyono, Mayor of Bekasi.

On this occasion, Abdul Mu’ti emphasized the importance of experiential learning in shaping the character and capacity of young generations. He noted that forums such as Model United Nations provide students with opportunities not only to understand theory, but also to develop critical thinking, communication skills, and readiness to face global dynamics.

“Programs like this are aligned with our efforts to build a resilient Indonesian generation one that excels not only academically but also possesses strong critical thinking, effective communication, and readiness to compete globally. This is part of our journey toward the Golden Generation 2045, where education must be able to produce future leaders,” he stated.

A similar perspective was shared by Tri Adhianto Tjahyono, who viewed the organization of this international-scale conference as a valuable contextual learning opportunity for young people in the region. According to him, the experience gained through such forums provides essential skills that are not always acquired in traditional classroom settings.

“This is not merely an event, but a simulation of the real world. Here, participants learn how to express ideas, negotiate, and understand how the world works. Bekasi needs not only a workforce, but also communicators, negotiators, and leaders who are ready to face global challenges,” he remarked.

Amid the conference, delegates from Al Azhar schools under the Al-Muhajirien Jakapermai Foundation also achieved several awards across various categories in each council.

Responding to these achievements, Mohammad Syafiudin, Chairman of the Al-Muhajirien Jakapermai Foundation, explained that AMUN is not a standalone event, but part of an integrated learning process within the school environment.

He emphasized that the program is designed to build students’ foundational competencies as a key element of leadership.

“This is not merely a ceremonial activity or an annual agenda, but part of a structured development system that we have embedded within schools through the AGILE program. There, students are consistently trained to develop strong fundamental skills—from communication and critical thinking to discussion and the confidence to express and defend their ideas. AMUN serves as a platform for them to test and apply these abilities in a real global context,” he stated.

From the international partner’s perspective, Muhammad Fahrizal, President of International Global Network (IGN), highlighted that Model United Nations represents a learning approach that brings global experience directly to students. He added that through this forum, students not only learn about global issues but also develop ways of thinking and communicating in an international context.

“Through MUN, students are not only learning theory, but are directly exposed to real-world issues, diverse international perspectives, and complex diplomatic processes. From there, they learn to build arguments, understand differences, and seek collaborative solutions. This is an experience that shapes a global mindset while strengthening their communication skills,” he explained.

As part of the opening ceremony, the Alnine Choir from SD Islam Al Azhar 9 performed the Indonesian national anthem “Indonesia Raya,” followed by the Mars of the Al-Muhajirien Jakapermai Foundation, as well as the song “Hari Baru,” composed by Abdul Mu'ti and arranged and conducted by Dwiki Dharmawan.
