We collect multiple options from students to ensure the maximum number of delegates get their preferred countries and committees; however, this may not always be possible.

Committee and country allocations will be sent to delegates as soon as they are confirmed; this may take from a couple of days to a couple of weeks.

The typical age range for our delegates is from 12 to 19—nonetheless, there are no strict limitations. For safeguarding reasons, all participants (especially those ≤18 years old) must provide an emergency contact which is preferably their parent/guardian.

If this message pops up, switch to a personal Google account—perhaps a parent's. (@gmail.com, etc.)
