Extra Information:
The first St. Andrew's International Model United Nations [SAIMUN] was held in 1988 in St. Andrew's College, Dublin . The Conference moved to the RDS in 1990 to accommodate the growing number of delegates who wished to attend. Since 1992 SAIMUN has been held in Jury's Hotel, Dublin . The conference is now host to 700 students representing 45 schools from 11 different countries on both sides of the Atlantic . Success at SAIMUN requires a range of skills: reading and researching, the ability to discuss world affairs, the writing of resolutions, persuading others through lobbying and debate, and reaching consensus with other delegates. Remember, a Model United Nations is precisely what the name suggests. The aims of the United Nations therefore must be our aims too. There is no substitute for the hands-on experience of working and experiencing an MUN itself. The following pages are intended as a general, practical guide for new participants only. The language used is straightforward and if read carefully should enable the first-time delegate to get to grips with the conference and take full advantage of a valuable learning experience upon which they can build and develop accordingly.
