NAIMUN Training and Interactive Program with the Secretariat (TIPS)

NAIMUN LXII is excited to continue the Training and Interactive Program with the Secretariat (TIPS) this year! TIPS is an eight-week virtual Model UN curriculum available at no cost to all high school students, regardless of whether they are attending NAIMUN. TIPS will be conducted by members of the NAIMUN Secretariat, who will comprehensively overview key aspects of MUN, facilitate interactive simulations, and provide feedback to participants. More information regarding the TIPS timeline is coming soon.

As part of NAIMUN’s effort to be an accessible conference for students of all levels of MUN experience, we are proud to offer TIPS as a unique platform for students to learn MUN and further develop their skills. Through its curriculum, designed in collaboration with Georgetown’s top-ranked Model UN team, TIPS allows students around the world to come to NAIMUN with a deeper understanding of MUN procedure and readiness for the high caliber of debate that is expected during conference weekend.

No prior experience in Model UN is required to participate in TIPS, and students do not need to sign up for all eight sessions; rather, students can sign up for whichever sessions suit their level of MUN experience. Individual students and full delegations are both welcome to attend. Upon signing up, you will receive a confirmation email with a Zoom link.

Please note:

  • Each week's workshop is repeated at every available time that week; for example, all of the sessions held during week 1 (October 1-5) are Introduction to Model UN. Therefore, students only need to sign up for one session each week.

  • Multiple delegations may sign up for the same session.

Please email Secretary-General Jasmine Yazid at naimunsg@modelun.org with any further questions.
