We are looking into holding more one day simulations and by hosting a conference at Brown . Students from universities around the world simulate international organizations and discuss current international issues at conferences. Conferences usually start on a Thursday afternoon and continue through Sunday morning. Conference participants role play international leaders in a specific international organization, like the Russian ambassador to the UN Security Council, the representative of Singapore to the Commission on Human Rights, or the President of South Korea in an Asian Summit. In this role, delegates discuss the topics that the committee is attempting to deal with and work to agree on a solution.
Delegates can represents their country alone or in pairs in most committees.
We encourage first time delegates work with more experienced members at their first conference. Each school usually represents the same country in every committee. We encourage members representing the same nation in different committees to share relevant information on national policy. MUNing is a great chance to meet a diverse group of people interested in international issues. There are lots of chances to continue discussions of the issues in informal settings at any time during debate and frequent caucuses during debate so that small groups of delegates can discuss their ideas.
