MUNA 09 What Will I Wear?

During the week, I was asked if it was usual for MUNA delgates to wear the traditional dress of the country. Here is my answer ....
Yes it is usual for MUNA teams to “dress up” in something which depicts their country. It doesn’t have to be traditional national dress, but something which may identify you. eg. in the past, the Irish team wore green, the USA team wore dark business suits and dark glasses and carried briefcases, some of the African delegates have worn colourful kaftans, girls representing predominantly Muslim countries have always worn head scarves. Hope this gives you some idea of what may be appropriate. Just one thing I should mention – it is an OH&S requirement that all MUNA delegates wear some sort of footwear in the hotel dining room and the Council Chambers. (no barefeet).
Here are a couple of photos from MUNA 2008 which may give you an idea of what to wear - it can be extreme, or minimal , or anything in between.

Hope all is going well with your preparations - Best wishes,
Wilma ( Secretary General)
