A Guide to Learn.BMUN.org

Hey Delegates,

In the event you would like to better equip yourself with knowledge on conference preparation and proceedings, I have outlined the resources available to you through learn.bmun.org. Our Learn site offers you an opportunity to understand how and what to prepare prior to debate as well as refresh yourself on important aspects of parliamentary procedure. Below I will highlight which sections in particular are useful as we move closer to conference, and which provide detailed references to important aspects of conference proceedings.

If in need of research tools, utilize the Research tab under 'Conference Prep,' which details some basic, but key aspects of your country. This tab features many guides to aspects of conference, including building a country profile, understanding and developing solutions for your topics at hand, and determining country policy and stance, among others. In addition, under the Position Papers tab, if you wish to revise your position papers prior to committee, you can learn more about their structure and expectations, as well as glean from sample papers. And, to contextualize and cement your findings and understanding of the topic, look to the Binder tab for some ideas about what to include in a comprehensive research binder for in-conference assistance.

If in need of practice or a greater understanding of conference proceedings, the 'In Committee' section of the site offers this and more. A general outline of standard BMUN procedure is given in the first tab, though more detailed explanations and tips for speeches, caucusing, and resolutions/amendments are provided in tabs below as well. If you are interested in alternative procedures that exist at our conference, a tab here also outlines how to approach these formats. Finally, tabs are offered that cover our conference policies on awards and more, as well as effective use of diplomacy in committee.

Thanks for being involved in your preparation for BMUN LXIX; we cannot wait to be audience to the wonderful ideas you and your peers will put forth!

Best,

Michelle
