MUN Workshop in Tokyo, Japan from 22-24 November 2014 Following the success of three Global Model UN Conferences from 2009-2011, the Education Outreach Section within DPI has embarked on a new path to support Model UN Programmes around the world. Starting in August 2012, we organized our first Model UN Workshop for students and MUN advisers who organize MUN conferences around the world. Since then we have run workshops in Vienna, Baku, and Seoul. This year we will organizing training sessions in Rome, Doha, Beijing and Tokyo. We are writing to request that you announce the call of applications to the workshop we are organizing in Tokyo, Japan in partnership with Meiji University and the UN Information Centre in Tokyo from 22-24 November 2014. All of the information concerning the application process and eligibility requirements for the workshop is available on the UN4MUN website: outreach.un.org/mun. The workshop will focus on giving students and MUN advisors a basic understanding of the General Assembly’s Rules of Procedure, the discussion and action phases of General Assembly Committee meetings, what you need to know when drafting resolutions, the duties and responsibilities of the UN Secretariat and General Assembly officials, the negotiation process that takes place during informal meetings, how consensus is achieved, the Security Council’s Provisional Rules of Procedure, and more. The aim of the workshops is to examine how Model UN simulations can more accurately capture the negotiation process as it commonly occurs at the UN. Since the workshop is open to international students, we are reaching out to all UNICs to request your assistance in broadcasting the launch of the application process. All inquiries can be addressed to Bill Yotive ([email protected]) or [email protected].
