OVERVIEW
Small committees with full crisis elements (25-30 delegates)
Contemporary Crisis is a dynamic organ that is centered around pertinent modern-day issues. In this organ, delegates have the opportunity to address current dilemmas, many of which remain unresolved or unrecognized at the international level, by stepping into the shoes of important figures in the modern world. Contemporary Crisis is composed of seven small crisis simulations, all of which will allow delegates to learn about lesser-known world issues and apply their diplomacy skills in pursuit of a brighter future. As a crisis committee, delegates in Contemporary Crisis have the added benefit of being able to interact with a dedicated crisis staff who will actively update the committee timeline and provide new challenges for delegates to solve.
