The Model United Nations Club of the Guivy Zaldastanishvili American Academy in Tbilisi is one of the oldest MUN clubs in Georgia. With a history spanning over a decade, the club, established under the guidance of its founder and long-standing head, Mrs. Ketevan Sturua, has shaped generations of delegates through a disciplined culture of research, diplomacy, and reasoned discourse.

It was GZAAT's MUN club that founded and organized the very first iteration of CAUMUN in early 2025. That inaugural effort laid the groundwork for what would become a leading annual regional conference in the Caucasus. The GZAAT MUN club continues to serve as CAUMUN’s principal architect, overseeing its vision, setting its standard, and training the delegates and chairs who carry it forward.

CAUMUN was created with a clear purpose: to provide a rigorous, accessible, and intellectually serious Model United Nations conference for students across the Caucasus and beyond. Built on the academic tradition of GZAAT MUN, the conference emphasizes substantive research, realistic debate, and principled negotiation over theatrics or superficial engagement. Each committee is designed to challenge delegates to assess and use to their advantage international law, global governance, and the real-world consequences of policy decisions.

Since its founding, CAUMUN has grown rapidly in both scale and reputation. What began as a student-led initiative has evolved into a large international conference, bringing together hundreds of delegates from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. Despite this growth, CAUMUN has remained committed to its founding values: academic integrity, fairness in debate, and equal opportunity for all participants, regardless of prior experience or financial background.

Guided by the legacy of the Guivy Zaldastanishvili American Academy in Tbilisi MUN team, CAUMUN continues to raise the standard for Model United Nations in the region and to shape a new generation of globally minded students.
