Emma's Guest Post

Emma from MUNISS 2016 has the following message for you:

Hello 2017 MUNISS delegates,

I hope all your preparations are going great and that you are enjoying yourselves. 

I went to MUNISS last year representing Iraq in the Historical Security Council, which was supposed to take part during the Cuban missile crisis. 

I had a lot of fun going to Stuttgart and it was an amazing experience. 

When I first arrived in the room I was really scared but don’t worry because most chairs decide to do icebreakers before debates actually start. Some delegates were really confident but some were just as stressed out as I was and that was reassuring.

If there is one advice that I would like to give you and that would like you to remember is to PAR-TI-CI-PATE. I know it sounds obvious but once you’re sitting in the room, it’s quite easy to get overwhelmed. 

But you should not just sit back and be shy, just get involved in the debate even if you think what you say isn’t as good as what the other delegates are saying. They won’t be judgmental because they also had a first MUN once. Plus, participating makes it all so fun and the day goes by in an instant.

Always remember to be respectful towards everybody, chair, delegates and those little children running around with water bottles (we had a delegate who left the room because people were mean to her in the gossip box comments).

Just enjoy yourself, those few days are going to be great and you will have a lot of fun. You will meet a lot of new people that will become your friends !

( And you’re going to keep a bottle and a pen and I mean, that’s cool ;) )

Important Information on Your Committee

Hello everyone,

A most important step has been taken: munis.net have updated their committee information.

That means, for most of you, you have a ready-made information pack about your issue. The key is that everyone in your committee now has the same ‘basis’ for research, and so a solid base to form opinions. If possible, I always find it useful to print (at least some of) the information out so you can take it with you to Stuttgart.

Best regards,

Mrs C

MUNISS Schedule

MUNISS have just published their schedule (though I think they have written Thursday twice, rather than Thursday and then Saturday): http://www.muniss.net/materials/schedule/

MUNISS Paperwork

Hello dear students,

We'll be asking you and your parents to fill out *loads* of paperwork over the February holidays!!!
