WychMUN
Wychwood School is holding its inaugural MUN conference, WychMUN, and we would like to invite your school to attend. It will be held from 5pm Friday 4th – 3.30pm Sunday 6th November 2022. This conference will be for Years 7-13 delegates of all levels of expertise and there is an opportunity for schools to provide guest chairs from Years 11-13.
Our committees will be Health, EnviroSci, Youth, Political, and Human Rights, discussing three topics each.
If you would like to attend as a delegate or guest chair, please sign up via the registration form and further information will be provided in June 2022. The delegate places will be on a first come, first served basis and there will be 3-5 delegates per delegation – there is no limit to how many delegates each school can bring.
The cost of the conference is £50 for delegates, £25 for guest chairs and free for advisors. This covers catering for Friday evening, and Saturday and Sunday lunches; resources; welcome packs; and the running of the whole weekend.
Wychwood School is located in the heart of Oxford and there are plenty of activities for visiting schools to enjoy after the conference, including a free firework display on the evening of Saturday 5th November.
