The direction of this new state remains unclear; this daunting responsibility now falls to you. Numerous questions must be answered by this new government, ranging from the future role of Islam and Turkey’s various ethnic groups to the construction of a new political system and establishment of foreign policy.

thematic committee
The Thematic committee is a unique, specialized committee that integrates the traditional Model UN experience with innovative, hands on debate and problem solving. Inspired by the conference theme, this committee challenges delegates to work quickly and diligently to create intuitive and comprehensive solutions based on other outcomes and crises debated in other EagleMUNC committees. The Thematic committee encourages delegates to observe patterns, utilize attention to detail, and solve issues globally and holistically. Delegates will be forced to think critically, connect the past to the present, and think beyond current truths. EagleMUNC is very enthusiastic to explore this year’s iteration of the Thematic committee: The Press Corps!
