Tips for Preparation

Topic Preparation
Students should spend time researching the two topic areas their committees will be considering. All of our study guides include a bibliographic essay as a starting point for student research.

Country Preparation
Delegates should learn as much as possible about the country they will be representing – both in general and in relation to the topics they will be discussing. While our study guides include an analysis of bloc positions on topic areas, students should also learn about the specific positions of their respective nations.

General HMUN Preparation

Students should familiarize themselves with the rules of formal debate, parliamentary procedure, and the proper format for a resolution. Our training materials help both experienced and first-time delegates learn about the goals, accomplishments, limits, and powers of the UN and the international system.

Thorough preparation is essential to making HMUN an excellent educational experience. Pre-conference research makes committee more fun and rewarding, as delegates can then immerse themselves in their roles as high-ranking diplomats.
