Committees

During our RCMUN conference we will simulate eight United Nations committees and other international organisations. Our committees are categorised as: beginner, intermediate or advanced. Beginner committees are aimed at delegates who have no specific MUN experience, or those who have attended one conference. Intermediate committees are aimed at delegates who have attended two or more conferences (or equivalent experience in debate). Advanced committees will be appropriate for those who have notable experience in two or more MUN conferences, or those who have significant experience in debate, public speaking or international relations.
