r/MUN

I’ve supposed to represent a Supreme Court justice. How do I write my position paper? And do I still address people as “delagate”?

I am the delegate of iran in an ecosc committee and the agenda is "women's economic empowerment through banking transactions and microfinance" what to do am I cooked!?

so yeah I am 11th grader and mere school Wale are taking us to an MUN for the first time and like in my city there are never any MUNs held and even this one is held like 6 hours away , they have given us the list of topics and stuff and told us we can do either presentations, speeches or debates , Im already a part of a presentation group about The united nations security council , tho I don't trust the group will do good cuz Im the only confident speaker there and it's a group of 5 btw and also I am the only one whose english is even a bit fluent (yes it is weird ik) but it is what it is , so What I'm wondering is how do these things even work and should I take part in speeches as well if I want to stand out and do something because ik presentation might not be as good , so please help me decide whether I should take part in the speech or not and how exactly does an MUN work

I've thought of some pretty creative hooks for mun that i thought were also very funny :p.

(also i saw a lot of good ones in the other posts that i won't include here)

(look at imaginary watch) Time is passing delegates, but unfortunately, resolutions arent.

delegates--(stand up, pretending to take notes on your desk, then abruptly stop), i was going to take notes, but there's nothing worth writing down yet!

delegates, do you guys hear that?(cup ear as if listening), thats right. nothing! and thats how much was said in this delegates speech.

Delegates, is this water bottle half empty, or half full?(hold up partially full water bottle)(drink some till its nearly empty), well now its empty! But it doesn't matter either way though, it still has more substance than this delegates resolution.

(nodding head slowly then stop). wait delegates, i think i actually understand the argument... i just don't see it realistically happening.

Delegates, in my hand I have this delegate's resolution.(pretend to read an empty paper, then hold it up). I mean it speaks for itself... literally. because nothing is written on it.

Theres red tea, green tea(act like you're bouta say sm cliche hook), and theres the tea that makes this delegate think his resolution would actually work.

Delegates, how can someone say so much, yet speak so little!

(mime putting on glasses, and squinting very hard, trying to look at a delegate's placard)Delegates... I think i need a stronger prescription. Because no matter how hard I look at this resolution, I just dont see it working.

Delegates--(reach into your pocket, acting surprised as if you just got a notification. bonus if you can actually get an alarm or smt to ring when you stand up) it appears i just got a notification from [committee name/important organization]. They wanted me to let this delegate know that (air quotes) "[something vague the delegate said]" isn't exactly a legal framework.

Delegates that speech was truly breathtaking! Not because it was good, but because it took a minute of oxygen that this committee desperately needed for an actual solution!

Use these with caution as they are very undiplomatic and could get you a lot of enemies

There's selection for FMUN tomorrow at my school, originally i wasn't going to join even though i wanted to cause my stage fright is INSANELY bad i get insane anxiety, my heart starts beating and it feels like nothing will give me confidence at that moment but alot of my friends joined and i was starting to get fomo. Thankfully, they postponed selections till tomorrow. My topic is "The Nepal crisis, addressing political instability through new leadership" Alongside the fact that i have extremely bad stage fright i also have zero intellectualism and I don't know how to form speeches. I had MUN as an activity last year and as embarrassing and insanely stupid it is, i used AI for literally all the speeches i made even though i never once spoke infront of the class. So, i have no idea how to make hooks and the speech itself, i know that it has to be interesting and unexpected but I don't know the words or solutions to make it like that. They'll also give me a country on the spot tomorrow so it's like I've to do proper research about the topic and have a general speech but i genuine dont know how to write something interesting on the spot using my very own mind like I should be its like my mind goes COMPLETELY blank 😭 PLEASE help out 💔

Hey everyone. I’m 17 and really interested in trying MUN because I enjoy public speaking and conferences, but I honestly have no idea where to start. I’ve never participated before and most MUNs I find are expensive.

Does anyone know good places to start online for free or low cost? Also how did you guys learn research, debating and procedures as beginners? I mainly want experience, exposure and confidence building. Any advice would really help.

No prior experience needed

Monterey advantage

this one girl who i became friends with at mun asked if she could come to the after party with me. she is 13 years old but looks 16.

i have never seen a person that young go to an after party and i could tell that if i said yes to her she would bring all 8 of her 7th grader friends to the party and i just didnt have it in me to say no so i pretended that i didnt know anything abt the after party.

ik this was rly mean and i feel so bad for her now. if u were me wld u have let her go?

Delegates, by the time this speech concludes, an estimate of 7 women will undergo female genital mutilation

This is not a minor issue. FGM/C remains one of the leading causes of preventable deaths among girls and young women in practicing regions of Africa. It claims more lives than HIV/AIDS, measles, and meningitis in several countries. Yet despite this reality, only 44 countries have laws explicitly criminalising FGM.

Sweden is not here to call out this issue. It is here to actually bring reform.

From 2006, there have been no instances of FGM in sweden 
After 2008, the Board of Migration stated that FGM could be grounds for asylum as a form of gender-based persecution. 

Hence, this shows that Sweden is taking efficient action against such crimes against humanity

Sweden has ratified various international conventions condemning FGM, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and etc.

Therefore, sweden calls for all countries to first acknowledge the weight of the situation, and then actually finding a solution.

Hey everyone, I just came back from my very first MUN conference and I'm currently at home crying. I need to vent and get some perspective.

Weeks before the conference, I received confirmation emails stating that I would be representing France in the WHO committee. Even during the pre-conference Zoom meetings, everyone addressed me as France. I prepared extensively for this country.

On day one, I went to collect my badge and it said "Ethiopia". I was shocked and extremely nervous. I talked to the chair before the session started, and it turned out they accidentally assigned France to another delegate as well. The chair came up with a ridiculous solution: "Both of you will represent France. You are France 1, and he is France 2."

I spent the first two sessions holding back tears. I felt terrible for the other guy too, thinking my presence would ruin his chances of getting an award. By Session 3, I told myself, "I paid a lot of money for this, let's just do it." I started participating heavily, forming alliances, and making friends. The other France delegate and I actually became very close friends.

On the second day, I contributed significantly to the resolution papers and general debate. However, during the award ceremony, I received absolutely nothing. The other France delegate won an award. I was genuinely happy for him because he deserved it, but I felt completely invisible.

At the after-party, I was completely checked out. I sat in a corner trying not to cry while everyone danced. My friend (the other France) kept trying to cheer me up and get me to dance, but I refused. I felt like an idiot because he stayed with me and couldn't enjoy his night either. Eventually, I sneaked out and went home without anyone noticing. I wasn't even in the final group photo.

I put so much effort into my first MUN, and I feel like the organizers' sloppy mistake completely ruined my experience and psychological well-being. Am I wrong to feel this upset? Has anyone else experienced a "double delegate" situation due to an organizational error?

Hi! I need to know how to get invited to after parties BECAUSE I CANNOT STAND GOING TO ANOTHER MUN WITHOUT GETTING INVITED TO ONE!!!!!!

Recently, I went to an MUN, and was assigned USS.

I was kind of disheartened and nonetheless, did my research very good. Now I learned everything but I didn't even raise my placard! I made no points of orders or anything.

This has happened to me for every MUN I went to , and I want to overcome this.

Any advice?

I've been to 4 MUN conferences and all this time, I thought present was for those without voting rights but present and voting means you are giving up your right to abstain?

I just had my first MUN and felt like I did good throughout the conference but didn’t win an award, how to handle the disappointment and get used to it? I feel like the MUN high I had all weekend came crushing down after not winning the awards..

I need some recommendations for MUN outfits as a man. I dont want so spend a lot money buying suits so what should i wear?

ANYONE WHO WOULD LOVE TO HELP ME CREATE MY MUN ONLINE. i REALLY want to start and i want someone who has knowledge about how to organize MUN online. I am just aware of doing this offline. So i need your Help!
Please contact me on Reddit itself if you can help me create an MUN online.

So I’m the secretary general for an upcoming MUN(15th of June) and I really want to recreate House of Lords as one of the committees with about 20 Delegates.Can anyone guide me about it?

Okay so I've never participated in MUN my entire life and now that I finally thought about doing so, I didn't prepare anything, I have 13 days before it starts but I'm going to a camp where I can't prepare anything for it, and when I'll be back I'll have just 1 day left, I've no resources, idek how to research or smth, I'm so confused and freaking out I don't want to waste this chance
