The four days conference opened up by discussion session with the topic Climate Change. Following days is the committee’s session up to 7th times until the end day of the meeting and followed by the awarding session. The delegation brings home five awards: three verbal commendations, best position paper, and outstanding delegate.

The preparation includes public speaking, academic writing, gesture position, and simulation of the Model United Nations itself.
