OVERVIEW
Small committees with full crisis elements (25-30 delegates)
Historical Crisis is a dynamic organ that is centered around unique historical topics from all around the globe. In this organ, delegates have the opportunity to apply their negotiation, diplomacy, and problem-solving skills through a historical lens by stepping into the shoes of important figures from the past. Historical Crisis is composed of seven small crisis simulations, all of which will allow delegates to learn about lesser-known events throughout history. As a crisis committee, delegates in Historical 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.
