<p>If your school has one, what do you typically do at MUN meetings in order to prepare for conferences? It existed years ago on campus but no longer does. I'm familiar with the basics of what it is and I'm thinking of starting a Model UN club at my school.</p>
<p>My highschool had a UN, I’ve always wondered if it was like the real UN with the…</p>
<p>Oil for food corruption Scandal
Guns for gold scandal
peace keeper child-sex scandals</p>
<p>And generally not get anything of vital importance done. Slight rant aside…my friends who were in it just researched their countries…and that’s it. Mind you we weren’t a christened chapter or anything.</p>
<p>At the conferences, we just fool around with the people. We read the notes and all that shiz. Nobody actually cares about the conferences lol judging from them.</p>
<p>Then people send joke notes to other people. My god, best time ever.</p>
<p>At meetings, we don’t really do very much- everyone’s got different countries and most people are in different committees, so there’s not a ton we can do as a group. We spent a lot of time designing our t-shirts last year, though 
And usually just talk about deadlines and costs and whatnot. </p>
<p>If you’re starting a new club, though, you’ll want to teach everyone how to write a position paper which is a basically a summary of their country’s stance on whatever issue you’re assigned to talk about at the conference. You’ll also need to go over the etiquette you’re supposed to follow at conferences, and what sort of places people can research their country and possible resolutions for the problem they’re discussing.</p>
