OUR SIMULATION

 
 

Whether delegates are participating in WIRC XII online or in-person, they can enjoy the benefits of Washington, DC. In-person WIRC delegations are never more than a 20-minute metro trip from major centers where world-altering policy decisions are taken. Online, delegates can appreciate the panel speakers with connections to the district and listen from staffers who have intern and work experience in the nation’s capital. 

After spending the morning in workshops, students will have the opportunity to put the skills they learned to the test in a 3-hour simulation. This year at WIRC, we will have simulations for every delegate—General Assembly, Crisis, and United Nations Security Council. The learning process doesn't stop at the conclusion of the workshop sessions--our simulation leaders are there as enthusiastic resources throughout the course of the conference. Through formal instruction and an interactive, engaging experience, WIRC aims to make sure that delegates are fully grasping new concepts they've learned, while also having fun.

WIRC tailors its committees for delegates of all skill levels and experience. Whether a student is participating in his or her first conference, or the Head Delegate of a team, we have tailored workshop tracks divided into interest, experience, and skill set. The benefit is clear. With multiple WIRCshops and simulations to choose from, every delegate can mold their journey with a particular set of courses, in order to achieve maximal personal growth.

Regional Focus

LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARRIBEAN

As delegates of the Washington International Relations Conference (WIRC), you will be immersed in the diverse region of Latin America and the Caribbean. This area, comprising over 30 countries and territories, is characterized by a wide variety of cultures, histories, and political ideologies. From the deserts of northern Mexico to the rainforests of the Amazon and the mountainous Andes, the region's geography is home to over 650 million people speaking Spanish, Portuguese, English, French, and numerous indigenous languages. The legacies of colonization, independence movements, and ongoing struggles for political and economic stability shape the contemporary challenges and opportunities you will explore.



During WIRC, you will engage with critical issues affecting Latin America and the Caribbean, including economic development, political stability, social issues, environmental concerns, and regional cooperation. Through debate and negotiation, you will work towards innovative solutions that reflect the diverse perspectives and aspirations of this vibrant region. This experience will not only deepen your understanding of Latin America and the Caribbean but also enhance your skills in diplomacy and international relations.
