The Conference In General

The Royal Russell School (UK) hosts an annual four-day International Model United Nations Conference each October. The 2002 conference had some 450 delegates from 35 schools from the United Kingdom, Ireland, North and South America, Russia and mainland Europe.

The Structure of the Conference is Opening Speeches, followed by Committee Sessions and General Assembly with Security Council in permanent session.

Delegations comprise 4-6 students and Committee size averages 50 with a maximum of 95 delegates. The majority of delegates are housed in accommodation on the School Campus with some in local hotels and with host families. An evening entertainment programme is included.

The school is on the outskirts of Croydon, which is 20 minutes by train from Gatwick Airport and a further 10 minute tram journey from East Croydon to Coombe Lane. Invitations are sent out in March and we are always delighted to welcome new schools to our conference.
