Delegations
Head: Candela Ruiz-Peinado
Overview
The Delegations Committee offers dedicated delegates the opportunity to receive intensive weekly training to develop research, public speaking, debating, critical thinking, writing, negotiation, and cooperation skills to become successful delegates at Model United Nations conferences across Europe. The training involves a variety of workshops and debates. Delegates will have the honour of traveling to conferences representing the delegation and association as well as the university. Besides the weekly meetings, there are also many socials as the PD is a team that trains and travels together so there is plenty of opportunity to bond with like-minded people. Apart from this, passive members will enjoy the possibility to participate in mock debates and become a part of the External Delegation attending MUN conferences as an irregular team.
As a member of the Permanent Delegation,
you will get the opportunity to participate in intensive training concerning the Model United Nations, where they will be able to expand and develop their skills in public speaking, diplomacy, debating, negotiation, lobbying, conflict resolution, resolution writing, and teamwork. Delegates will have special and highly rewarding opportunities to attend Model United Nations conferences, guest lectures, specialized debating workshops, and debate competitions. Our team’s goal is for each member to have grown more comfortable and confident in their debating and public speaking skills, whilst learning how the real Model United Nations works.
Becoming a member of the Permanent Delegations (PD for short) requires commitment throughout the whole academic year of 2022/2023, with delegates being expected to attend weekly meetings and a minimum of 3 Model United Nations conferences throughout the year. Our weekly meetings will consist of workshops dedicated to preparing for conferences, putting a special focus on developing debating and teamwork skills.
As part of the External Delegation you'll be able to improve your public speaking, and negotiation skills through intensive monthly training in mock debates. Our goal is to create a team ready to excel at Model United Nations (MUN) conferences across Europe. By attending these conferences, you'll engage in discussions on pressing global issues, working collaboratively with fellow students from across the world to find diplomatic solutions. External Delegation members will also have the opportunity to join some of the Permanent Delegation's debates and workshops. This program is tailored to individuals with prior experience who want to focus on improving their debate skills, and bond with like-minded students by participating in multiple MUN conferences.
