Participants in Model UN conference are placed in committees (UNSC, WHO, UNESCO, etc.) of the country their school is assigned countries, or occasionally political figures, where they represent them. They are presented with their assignments in advance, along with a topic or topics that their committee will discuss. Delegates conduct research before conferences and formulate positions that they will then debate with their fellow delegates in the committee, staying true to the actual position of the member they represent. At the end of a conference, the best-performing delegates in each committee, as well as delegations, are recognized with awards.
