Formal Opening (July 15th)
The official opening of TEIMUN 2008 will be held in the prestigious Theatre Diligentia in the center of The Hague. Four prominent guest speakers will officially open the conference and afterwards you will meet all your fellow delegates.
After Session Drinks (16th, 18th and 19th of July)
The after session drinks are the ideal opportunity to meet other delegates and have a refreshing drink after a busy day with your council. The bar at the conference location will provide you with drinks at a reduced price. Special after session drinks will be organized on Saturday, July 19th, when you can take your national clothes, traditions, food & drinks to the Mondriaan! Bibendum Est!
Dinner with your council (July 16th)
After your first full day of Preparation Talks and Sessions, all councils will have dinner at the conference location so you can discover your fellow delegates in an informal atmosphere.
International Night (July 16th)
After the diner, we will move to ‘Het Wapen van Den Haag’ for the International Night. There is time to go to the hotel and change your clothes. It will be a jazzy night!
Excursions (July 17th)
On Thursday you can visit several interesting IOs, NGOs and government institutions. Please note that all excursions are obligatory. The excursions start at different moments and locations; please do not forget to bring your passport! A member of the Board or staff will take you to the location of your excursion.
It’s got to be Orange Party (July 17th)
To give you a good welcome in our lovely country, the complete cafe Rootz is colored in orange (the Dutch national color, you have probably noticed this during the European Championship in June) this night. So please, find some orange clothes and gadgets for this evening.
Rock Superstar Party (July 19th)
Our Rock Superstar Party will be held at “Het Maliehuisje”. We hope our dress code offers a wide range of opportunities. We’re thinking Jon Bon Jovi or Blondie; jeans and a jeans jacket. Nevertheless, if you’re feeling more like Britney or Justin Timberlake, we’ll have to recognize they’re definitely superstars too.
Beach Party (July 20th)
On Sunday, the Billabong Beach Club is all yours for the night! We start with a barbecue, for which you can buy tickets for €5 on Wednesday during lunch and After Session drinks and on Thursday during lunch! Aside from the DJ and Band, who will set you on fire, there are possibilities to reveal your own soccer or volleyball talent on the beach! This will probably be the most brilliant night of your week, so make sure you are not still to hangover from impersonating Justin.
Facebook Drinks (July 21st)
After a week of council meetings you can exchange (email) addresses with your new friends, or just have a few last drinks with them at the conference location. This is the end of TEIMUN, but you can keep in contact with your new friends through Facebook. Tonight the real diehards, who were there every night and every morning, will have some well deserved rest. We hope you will look back at a fabulous week!
