Welcome!

Welcome to the main blog of HSMUN 2009. Here you will find updates on the conference, links to specific committee blogs and random posts from our enthusiastic secretariat and staff. We are really excited about the conference and the topics of debate. If you have any questions, comments or concerns about the conference in general, or would like to participate, please contact us at hsmun@ualberta.ca.
For those of you who are new to the University of Alberta's High School Model UN, it is a three day conference from February 19-21 2009, which sees over 350 high school students from across the province descend upon campus to debate topics in seven different committees. Our goal is to provide a positive atmosphere for students to develop their public speaking, critical thinking and negotiating skills while also learning about international relations. For a complete invitation package which outlines the conference in detail please click the link or email us at hsmun@ualberta.ca. Registration opens on Oct. 31, 2008 and will close on Jan. 31, 2008.
