Everything You Need toPrepare for Your Conference

What Is a MUN?

Preparing for the Conference

• Reading the Study GuideThe guide presents the committee's topic, its stakes, and the questions the resolution will have to address. It is the starting point for all preparation.
• Studying the Country RepresentedEach delegate learns about the history, institutions and alliances of the country they represent, as well as its position on the topic under debate.
• Writing the Position PaperBefore the opening ceremony, the delegate sets down in writing their country's position: its principles, its interests and the solutions it envisages.
• Knowing the Rules of ProcedureDebates follow rules of procedure. Understanding how they work (speaking turns, motions, amendments) makes it possible to take part in the exchanges with ease.
