"MUN Newbie's Survival Guide: From Clueless to Confident!"
Struggling with these rookie pains?
Got your country assignment and... where is this place? What even is their policy?
Writing a position paper feels like squeezing toothpaste—200 words in 3 hours, all fluff.
Outclassed by veterans, reduced to a smiling NPC in committee...
Don’t panic! This battle-tested prep guide will cure your "MUN beginner syndrome"!
01 Pre-Conference Research
Think of MUN as a stage performance—nail the prep, steal the spotlight!
Learn the rules: Master motions, moderated caucuses, and voting (it’s like reading a game manual).
Stan your country: Research its recent UN votes, diplomatic ties, and key stats like you’re obsessing over a K-pop idol. Data wins debates!
Annotate the background guide: Highlight key clauses and stats—this is your cheat sheet for drafting killer position papers.
02 Document Prep
Slice complex topics into bite-sized pieces.
Example: Climate change → Break into funding, tech transfer, and emission quotas. Analyze each through your country’s interests.
Position paper formula:
Clear stance (Opening line: "The Republic of XYZ firmly believes...")
Data-driven arguments (Cite UN reports or NGO studies)
Actionable solutions (Propose a clause, fund, or partnership)
03 Speech Training
Your opening speech is your mic-drop moment.
Script it: Use punchy stats ("My country contributes 12% of global renewables—let’s raise that!").
Practice daily: Read UN resolutions aloud for fluency; rehearse in front of a mirror (watch posture and pauses).
Steal like an artist: Study past award-winning speeches—adapt their rhetorical tricks!
Pro Tip: These steps build on each other. Nail them, and you’ll shift from background extra to lead delegate.
