To enable students to successfully participate in the simulation, the Delegate Training Course is provided.
The Delegate Training Course takes place in the months leading up to the Model United Nations. The course consists of an 8-hour training day and will be held at a location that will be communicated in advance. It includes a combination of classroom instruction and direct interaction, covering the following topics:

Before participating in the Model United Nations, all students will be required to write a position paper in English, a brief and concise document outlining the represented country’s stance. The students will be guided in this process by the educational staff, aiming to support them both linguistically and content-wise. The position paper will also be evaluated by the board staff of HMUN.
For this project, the school, at its discretion, may grant 70 hours of recognition for the Cross-Curricular Skills and Guidance Paths (Percorsi per le Competenze Trasversali e l’Orientamento), subject to a free subscription with United Network Europe.
