How It Works?

Each participant is assigned a state to represent as the state ambassador. The representatives meet in committees that discuss a global crisis, the representatives investigate the relationship of the state they represent to the same issue / crisis and prepare a statement to present their idea to colleagues. Through a guiding and informal discussion and critical thinking, delegates weight their ideas working together to garner the support of a majority of their colleagues for a final vote, to ensure the success of their committee.
