Hit the ground running! Start recruiting for your club as soon as you can. This year there are three committees available, WHO, SOCHUM and Legal. We have two committee types, standard (WHO, SOCHUM) and advanced (Legal). Make sure to pay attention this distinction when your delegates are selecting committees. Click on the button below to view the full committees and topics. Schools will be allowed to choose from all UN Member Nations when making country selections. Please talk to your students and make a list of their top 10 country choices. Be prepared for Country Be ready to submit preferences when you register with MUN Manager.

In order to register for the conference, countries and committees, you will need to create a MUN Manager login (or if you already have an account, merely sign in!). To create an account visit the site linked below and select “Register an Institution”. Once you have created an account, you can sign in and begin preparing for registration.​

Country selection will open on Wednesday, February 25th at 6pm est. This page will allow you to select the countries delegates wish to represent at the conference. This is a first come first serve proces, so make sure you have a list of 10 countries that your delegates would like to represent. With a preference list prepared, you have a back up plan in case your top picks are taken by other schools. If you are the first to request a country, it will automatically be added to your school under the “delegates and delegations” tab in MUN Manager. Delegations have 2 standard delegates spots (WHO, SOCHUM) and 1 advanced spot (Legal), so keep in mind that you may need more than one delegation. We encourage you to fill all available seats in each delegation. 

*Note that we do not allow partners to represent the same country/committee seat.

Now that your school has been assigned countries, you need to assign your delegates to their committees. Remember that Legal is an Advanced Committee. Once you have assigned the delegates both a country and a committee you need to update us! Add your delegates and fill those committee slots on MUN Manager. We encourage you to fill all available seats. Don’t take too long to do this step! Otherwise you will shorten the amount of time your delegates have to research and write their papers​.

The next step for your delegates is to read the Topic Guide for their assigned committee. Our Staff work hard preparing these documents and they are imperative for a delegate’s success. Next students can start researching the topic and their assigned country’s position. With this knowledge they will write Position Papers (PP) and List of Possible Solutions (LoPS) for the topic.

*The advanced committee Legal, will not write LoPS but a Resolution instead.​

We need parents to be involved in providing a media release for delegates, as well as collecting their names and assignments for name tags. Please tell your students to submit their Delegate Form with their parents at the link below. The from can also be found on the “Delegates” page of the ALTMUN website under the tab “Middle School Conference.” Fill out the Advisors Form below so we will know who’s coming and have name tags ready for them! Both due by March 30th.​

It is the responsibility of the club and the advisor to ensure there is no inappropriate content in these documents such as profanity, unnecessary foreign language or hate speech. Documents are to be reviewed and uploaded to MunManager by March . Each student should have one PP and one LoPS.

*Delegates in Legal, the advanced committee, should have one PP and one Resolution.​
