WELCOME TO

BEGINNERS BOOTCAMP

 

Will UTMUN 2026 mark your first MUN conference? Your first time in a new branch? Your first time in a Canadian conference? Or perhaps just looking for more practice?

The UTMUN Beginner’s Bootcamp is a series of online workshops hosted by UTMUN’s highly experienced and knowledgeable Academics Secretariat to bridge the learning gap for beginner and novice delegates and support students’ entry to UTMUN!

UTMUN wishes to ensure each and every delegate may equally participate and have a successful experience at our conference. To prepare students for what to expect during debate and familiarize attendees with UTMUN Rules of Procedure, we will be hosting free, virtual series of online workshops with informative presentations, advice sessions and interactives activities and practice to refine students’ skills in MUN.
