+    A Django specific Union type that allows to map multiple Django object types
+    One use case is to handle polymorphic relationships for a Django model, using a library like django-polymorphic.
+
+    Can be used in combination with DjangoConnectionField and DjangoFilterConnectionField
+
+    Args:
+        Meta (class): The meta class of the union type
+            model (Model): The Django model that represents the union type
+            types (tuple): A tuple of DjangoObjectType classes that represent the possible types of the union

+    ```python
+    from graphene_django.types import DjangoObjectType, DjangoUnionType
+
+    class AssessmentUnion(DjangoUnionType):
+        class Meta:
+            model = Assessment
