For the second time, Best Delegate is running a level 3 course on How to Run an MUN conference. The launch of this unique opportunity to develop your school’s MUN is a very special time in THIMUN Qatar’s history, and if well received, we hope to continue this on an annual basis at the QLC. This course aims to teach the most efficient ways to structure your executive team, plan your conference timeline, and ensure that your conference theme is fully developed. This training is open to Directors and the Students on your school’s MUN executive team, working together to solidify the skills needed to plan an awesome MUN conference. Participants will receive a certificate at the end of this wonderful one day course! This course is open to all who are interested in running an MUN conference, and is not predicated on graduating Level I or II of DTI.
This course will not be repeated at THIMUN 2021.
