A SIMULATION ABOUT LOST CAUSES?
From February 03 to 06, POLITIKUM presents the academic simulation The Lost Committees.
Undoubtedly, the name of this new conference has attracted a lot of attention among the participants, since it can be thought that lost causes for the world will be discussed during the days of the simulation.
Nothing is further from reality, The Lost Committees (Los Comites Perdidos in Spanish) is a name that relates to those committees of the United Nations Organization (UN) that are very rare to find in the different academic simulations that are carried out.
POLITIKUM's proposal, as far as simulations are concerned, has always been to break the mold and for this reason, on this occasion we have selected 3 innovative committees, which will be held in 3 different languages (Spanish, English and German), in which They will discuss current issues that are rarely mentioned, but of great importance for international relations.

1. The Rescue of Indigenous Languages as Intangible Heritage.
