One thing that separates WUMUNS from other conferences we attend is that it is crisis focused. This is very different from MUNUC, PMUN, or MKCMUN and requires a different skills and mindset. Committee sessions are very fluid and delegates must be creative and adaptable to new situations. WUMUNS is probably the hardest conference to prepare for because it can go in a completely different direction than what you anticipated.











Here are a few articles that help explain how to best prepare and and handle crisis based committees.
