Pre-Conference Programming
We are happy to announce new and improved pre-conference MUN programming for YMUNT XII! Please feel free to contact dg.committees@ymunt.org with any inquiries. Follow @ymuntaiwan on Instagram to keep updated on deadlines!
Online Training Program
The Online Training Program for YMUNT XI can be found here.
Our program, which runs on the interactive educational website Thinkific, equips delegates with research and public speaking skills and teaches our streamlined YMUNT procedure. Our directors will directly engage with delegates through videos and interactive assignments, all while tracking delegates' progress and providing feedback to ensure an invigorating conference experience.
Director Drop-In Hours
Connect with the Directors of our committees before the conference starts! In February, all of our directors will be hosting optional drop-in hours on Zoom. These drop-in hours are for delegates to explore different committees, ask questions, and meet fellow delegates. Delegates should try to attend the drop-in hour for the committee they plan on being a part of, but should also feel free to attend any others, especially for bilingual delegates who may have questions in languages other than English. All times and dates below are in local Taipei time (GMT+8).
Office hours are listed in order of time. Please use this link to join: https://yale.zoom.us/j/7793477196.
