About

Do you want to learn Model UN, but don't know where to start? Then, this series is perfect for you. Hi! I'm Navya and I would like to invite you to join the Model UN Training Camp! Model UN is a simulation of the United Nations for students, students are assigned a particular country and try to find solutions to the world's biggest and most pressing issues through debate and negotiations. Model UN provides students an opportunity to learn about public speaking, international relations, improve your writing, and more! There is something in Model UN for everyone in addition to being a great educational experience. We will even have our own Model UN Conference at the end of the series and all participants and winners will get certificates. I have tried to make the sessions time zone friendly to as many time zones as possible, so everyone is welcome! There will be 2 sessions per week (on weekends) Even if you have never participated in a Model UN conference before, don't worry, we will be covering all the basics in the training sessions. For intermediate and advanced MUNers, I will be happy to share a few nuances I learnt at the international level while participating in conferences like HarvardMUN and YaleMUN. Topics that will be covered through this series- Session 1: What is the United Nations? (Orientation) Session 2: How to do research? Session 3: How does an MUN committee work? Session 4: The Art of Communication Session 5: Writing in Model UN (Working Papers and Draft Resolutions) Session 6: Practice Debate Session 7: Model UN Conference Day 1 Session 8: Model UN Conference Day 2 Tutor Qualifications- 1. HarvardMUN 2021- Outstanding Delegate Award 2. HarvardMUN 2020- Diplomatic Commendation Award 3. DAIS MUN 2022- Best Delegate 4. Yale MUN 2021
