Dear ,
We are thrilled to welcome you to Prague in November .
GOMUN25 will commence on 7th November and close on 10th November.
The conference begins with the Opening Ceremony, which will take place at the Prague City Hall on Friday. Registration opens at approximately 9:30, where you will receive your lanyards, participant kits, and any preordered merchandise. Additional T-shirts will also be available for purchase.
The Opening Ceremony will begin at 11:00. Please calculate your transport in advance, as late arrival may disturb our guest speakers’ addresses.
Committee sessions on Saturday and Sunday will be held at Gymnázium Omská, located near Kubánské Náměstí station. On Monday, the conference returns to Prague City Hall for the General Assembly session and Closing Ceremony.
A detailed agenda will be uploaded to our website in the upcoming weeks.
This year, the GOMUN Sunday Ball will immerse you in a secret society inspired by Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut.
You are invited to an exclusive masquerade at the Masaryk Dormitory of ČVUT, filled with intrigues, shady deals, and devious plots. Masquerade masks are mandatory!
We strongly encourage you to start researching the country you have been assigned to for GOMUN25. This research should encompass its history, geography, politics, economy, foreign relations, domestic issues, and more. After exploring the main actors, past international actions, and causes and consequences of your committee's topics, we also invite you to familiarize yourself with your country's stance on these issues and the strategies it could adopt to address them. Additionally, compare this to the positions held by other countries in your committee.
Study guides for all committees (except for ICJ which will be uploaded very soon) can now be found on our website. In this guide, you will find detailed information on the committee topics, as well as online resources you should consult to deepen your understanding of these topics.
On our website, you will find the link to the GOMUN Rules of Procedure (ROPs). The ROPs include detailed explanations on moderated and unmoderated caucuses, the motions and points you will use throughout the debates, and additional directions and suggestions for the conference to guide you through the debates. If you are a delegate of the Crisis Committee, please read the Crisis ROPs and the Directives guide, if a delegate of ICJ, please read the ICJ ROPs. You may also study the resolution guide, to understand the process of drafting a resolution.
All Delegates will be required to submit a Position Paper three days before the conference. HERE is a link to your drive with all the important documents (agenda and handbook will be uploaded later) and folders for your position papers. Please upload your position papers there.
You can also find the requirements for the Position Paper on our website in the documents section. The submission of the Position Paper is mandatory and necessary to be eligible for a best-delegate award, honorable mention, or best newcomer. We stress the importance of this document as it enhances the quality of the debates by forcing you to synthesize your knowledge into a concise document and allowing you to gain an overview of each Delegate's perspectives at the beginning of the committee sessions. If you are a delegate of the crisis committee, you do not need to write a Position Paper.
In the near future, your chairs will send you an email with a link to your Whatsapp groups for further communication with the committee, so please check your email regularly.
We hope this information is clear and helpful in your preparation for the conference.
We remain at your disposal if you have any questions.
The entire GOMUN team is thrilled to welcome you in a few weeks for this unforgettable event.
Diplomatically yours,
Nina VYSUŠILOVÁ, Secretary-General of GOMUN25
