Non-Traditional Committees
Non-Traditional committees blend the collaborative spirit of General Assemblies with the fast-paced creativity of Crisis. Covering both specialized historical and contemporary topics, these committees task delegates with navigating unique mechanics, unconventional forms of debate beyond standard parliamentary procedure, and evolving situations. Larger than a traditional Crisis but smaller than a General Assembly, Non-Traditional committees provide an engaging challenge for delegates looking for an experience out of the ordinary.
