Preparation
As with any conference, it is important to do background research and have as vast a knowledge as possible on your committee, country policy, and topics. Your Background Guide is the best starting point but any good delegate goes past what is given. Below are a few links that may be useful as you begin your venture into your research:
A List of Non-Governmental Organizations
A Pre-Conference Delegate Guide will also be released under the Committees Tab which will have more helpful tips and hints for research, as well as specific rules of procedure that will be used at HenMUN.
Position Paper Guidelines
Position Papers are required for all of the committees at HenMUN.
In light of our virtual platform, this year we will simply require a one paragraph memo summary, single-spaced in Times New Roman font.
All Position Papers should begin with the following heading:
Delegate(s):
School:
Committee:
Country:
Topic:
A general format for Position Papers is as follows:
Begin with a sentence outlining pertinent background information about the topic at hand. Follow that with a sentence outlining your country’s policies (actions it has taken in the past, stances on the issues, etc.). Conclude your memo with a 2-3 sentence plan (what solutions you plan on proposing at the conference). You may construct your memo in bullet format if you’d like.
