Through our extensive cultural and social program, conference participants experience first-hand both the culture of our host country, Turkey, and the cultures of other delegates, and come to appreciate the world's great cultural diversity that has enriched our common human heritage. At WorldMUN, delegates learn about the intricacies and workings of international diplomacy in committee sessions and learn from each other as they forge new friendships with fellow students from all over the world. Delegate Preparation Thorough knowledge of the topic areas and of national policy on those topic areas is essential to well-informed, lively debate. Prior to the conference, delegates will be sent Committee Study Guides, prepared by Harvard Staff members. These contain a detailed analysis of the topics to be discussed, a history of the committee, previous United Nations actions, and suggestions for further research.
Delegates are responsible for researching and representing their nation's policy at the conference.
Additionally, the WorldMUN website contains a page specifically devoted to resources, with a number of links, both general and specific to topic areas and committees. Individuals may also register for the conference independently. WorldMUN was the first conference in which delegates primarily represented their country of origin.
