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: Soviet Writers' Union!
As delegates representing members of the Union of Soviet Writers, a group of authors and journalists from the USSR, you'll embark on a daring mission to publish a journal while evading the clutches of soviet censorship. Navigate the shocking maze of ideological restrictions, treading the fine line between self-expression and party loyalty. With each carefully chosen word, you'll challenge the boundaries of artistic freedom and empower fellow writers to voice their truths. Will you succumb to conformity or harness the power of the written word to inspire change? Unleash your creativity, defy the censors, and change the literary world.

Ad-hoc
TOPIC WILL BE ANNOUNCED AT THE CONFERENCE!
The Ad-Hoc committee offers a fast-paced and exciting environment for more experienced students. Delegates will have their critical thinking skills tested as they are tasked with coming up with creative solutions to unique problems that fall outside the scope of a traditional Model UN committee. The topic of the Ad-Hoc will not be revealed until the start of the conference. Before the first committee session, students will receive a packet that briefs them on the situation and describes their role. Throughout the year, we will release teasers that may help you reveal some of the secrets of the Ad-Hoc. An unforgettable journey awaits for those who choose to apply!
