HNMUN Latin America: Philosophy

HNMUN is an unparalleled educational experience, bringing together thousands of students from dozens of nations throughout the world. We are still astounded by what the staff and the delegates accomplished at HNMUN 2012, and we are confident that the 2013 conference will take collegiate Model UN to completely new heights. In line with the goals of the main conference in Boston, HNMUN-LA is designed as a laboratory of ideas, both on the substantive and executive sides of the conference. We know we have an opportunity to transform completely the way we approach MUN, so that delegates could benefit from both experiences. Here are a few principles behind the mentality of this new venture:

• Cooperation, collaboration, and substantive quality as the top priorities. This is institutionalized through a rapporteur recognition system, the creation of broader topic areas, and the encouragement of bold, comprehensive, and detailed resolutions.
• More intimate conference and committee sizes. With a projection of 1,000 total delegates and a cap of 200 on the General Assemblies, we seek to make the MUN experience more manageable and productive for all delegates, novices and experts alike.
• Unparalleled social and cultural experience. Acting within an international setting, HNMUN is finally able to meet its full potential for social events. Additionally, as Buenos Aires is situated at a cultural crossroads between the Latin American and European worlds, delegates also have the opportunity to explore one of the world’s most dynamic cities.
