Hey, I've recently started doing MUNs and here is one thing that i always keep in mind. "Im doing something that can help others/ make in change in the world". That way i push myself to get over my anxiety. Good luck❤

To get over anxiety just try to talk in front of the group as much as possible. It’ll go away.

You should practice speaking in front of friends, family, or someone you trust in general. If you never step out of the box, it going to stay hard to speak in front of people. Of course, don't force yourself into uncomfortable situations but do push yourself. Also practicing your speech on your position paper or anything you would think is necessary will help. This is very important. This will help stop stumbling over words and will make you feel more confident in general. This is late, but I hope this will help you or anyone who reads this.

@@luxiosk I have a mock conference tomorrow, and the actual thing for 3 days straight starting from Saturday. I have extreme social anxiety and I'm just crumbling to ashes rn. Also, it's my first time..

@@jasmineh436 Good luck with your conference! Just remember to have all of your notes ready, practice speaking more if you can, and just sleep and take care of yourself the night before. It's okay to be stressed, but try your best to relax. What activity relaxes you? During the conference, if you're comfortable, try to push yourself to speak, and just enjoy yourself! During my first conference, I remember being very nervous, but other delegates were very friendly and amiable. Also, making a mistake is totally fine! People will understand that it's your first conference. Nobody expects first-timers to do everything correctly automatically. I may not know what having social anxiety is like, and I wish that I could help you out even more. But hopefully, these tips help you out. Best of luck! You'll do great!

Awesome

Hey I just applied and I’m literally digging KZfaq because I am soo confused on what I have to do . There are lots of abbreviations and roles I have never heard of . Can you please help me out and kind of just walk me through what I can do to prepare😭

@@angelgupta5293 smth like other delegates

POI- Point Of Inference. It’s just a fancy term for “asking questions”. Basically, ask a lot of very specific questions. It makes you look very knowledgeable on the topic.

I just returned and I won not the best delegate award but high commendation award , it's ok as a beginner...

how was it bae

Do you know how I can sign up? I have seen that many pages are false

@@victoriaelizabetharranagao5835 Hi dear, u can google Asia World MUN Virtual Conference

Are you for real 🤣🤣

Omg me too :((

Me too!

@@asmijain2695 yes it was helpful. Would you please give a suggestion ... I'm beginner this is my first time... I've got GERMANY .. Though I read the foreign policy of Germany but still I'm confused which all countries are my allies ( because Germany had a world war with UK nd FRANCE but now they are not rivals, some sites proclaimed that they have ( Germany and France) good connections while other says they're still rivals...while UK has recently brexit from the EU so ...so logically they can't have good connections as Germany is still a part of EU) so I'm getting confused....so can u help in finding out this so that I can focus on my main agenda which is *protecting the victims of human trafficking in conflict and post conflict situations*

Asmi Jain i’ve just joined mun and i want to ask, you said read all the reports and articles about it even wikipedia’s but don’t use it as a proof, so if i don’t use reports & articles as proof, what do i use as a proof?

@@gentza8177 what she meant is wikipedia cause its not a reliable source its editable.

i was(and kind of still am) in the same boat as you for this past school year. i knew nothing about mun and have felt super unprepared, but my writing and speeches have definitely improved quite a bit. I know that as long as you keep going, you’ll do well(if you haven’t already)! good luck with mun :)

i did shit my first mun but the more i went to muns the better my delegating became

me 2 i literally had no idea when i first joined mun

Write ur speeches on a word document so u dont have to memorize ur speeches. And open it on ur window while speaking

Do you know how I can sign up? I have seen that many pages are false or do you have a page where I can see it

@@victoriaelizabetharranagao5835 hiii, there's this online mun called madras mun coming up... lmk if your interested, I'll forward the details :)

oh hi fellow teume! how was your experience?

@@lisaesthetic353 it was intimidating tho..but I remember hyunsuk words ' do youtlr best'.

I had my first mun as well it was this month from 11 to 13 October and same as u I didn't win anything but the experience was amazing!!

My first mun was the same. I just tried to learn. On the second MUN I raised POIs and participated in all the gsl and proposed mods. I got the outstanding delegate award.

@@maishamahjabinadrita8743 Congratulations👐👐👐. I have to participate in Online Conference on 6th and 7th of June 2020, its my first time Im nerveous. Topic is Covid 19.

@@bongiwemotloung3074 Hey Hi already participated in an MUN whose agenda was "Tackling COVID-19 and forming measures to prevent future pandemics" and my committee was WHO and I represented Iran.

@@bongiwemotloung3074 And for better view of MUNs check out best delegate website and KZfaq channel

hey hey how's it going ill be having my first MUN this Friday till Saturday I was wondering if you could help me out with it just because I'm still unfamiliar with many things, it'll be beneficial if you do so

@@kikitae3622 How did it go ?? mine is in 2 weeks and I'm freaking out !! 😭😭

@@who.are.we.anyways hey so my first mun went really smooth and it didn't went as bad as I thought and all I'd say is that don't worry or get to much nervous tho its natural and you cant help yourself with it you can reach out to me whenever you need anyhelp it could be in Instagram or here as well and ill be there for you and remember have enough confidence to speak up😁😁😁

@@kikitae3622omg my simulation is in a couple weeks can I have your ig so I can ask more about it🥹thank you

this is so weird because im doing YMUN tomorrow and i’m in ASEAN

@@lizzy8779 did you like YMUN this year? I won an award but honestly hated the experience😭

@@calkinoshita7490 i did, i didn’t win an award but i should’ve lol. i liked it better in person tho

@@calkinoshita7490 hi! Did you have it virtually? Also do we have to open our cameras ?

@@pasha-nk2ew yes, it was all online! Technically we weren’t required to have our cameras on but it’s highly encouraged. It also makes things feel much more like we’re in person when people have their cameras on. It makes it easier to remember delegates, as well!

Hi im participating in the imun in a week, can you give any tips? Idek where to start, I have no experience either

hiii, there's this online mun called madras mun coming up... lmk if your interested, I'll forward the details :)

hi! i'm planning to participate on a high-school MUN this year, it'll be my first time if i make it. Can you tell me on how you do your statistical research? Thank you in advance! (btw i'm from Indonesia too, i used english just in case someone who doesn't understand indonesian is wondering about the same question as i do)

Same dawg

hey, how was ur experience? would you like to share :)

@@lisaesthetic353 Sure! Well, it was online and my first MUN ever so I didn't get to speak much. You really have to do an in-depth research, i mean down to the T, a very detailed one to be a decent delegate. The committee might feel too serious but as soon as the committee gets adjourned everybody drops the seriousness. It's honestly so much fun and most people are living memes. I made very good friends there.

@@hearts4melisa sounds like fun! i'm having my first ever MUN in half a month! also how old were you?

@@lisaesthetic353 14 :)

@@marmar4424 Which country?

Abbie Cervantes when are you going

S Khan i’m not in mun i’m just interested

Abbie Cervantes oh well I went and it’s fun and you can gain from it according to my experience it makes you feel like a leader (if you speak up) and helpful and you meet different people who are really nice. No one judges you and you get to ask anything question event eh crazy ones

hiii, there's this online mun called madras mun coming up... lmk if your interested, I'll forward the details :)

Also, I'd definitely be interested in hearing more about your research method please :)

Really, that's very good congratulations!

Omg congo !! Wish me luck mine is in 2 days

But you have to pay your own flights, and others amounting to 2000 euros

Congrats 😭🤝

Really, and what's it comes for? Scam

I know I'm late and I'm not her, but I can give you a brief on how you could research for a conference: 1) use the website 'bestdelegate' to get to know more about MUNs, research patterns, how a conference works etc. 2) start with getting to know your portfolio or country. Use the CIA world factbook for an overview about your country's population, government, GDP etc. You can also use the IMUNA webpages to get to know about your country's allies etc 3) read your committee's mandate thoroughly. Acquaint yourself with the workings of it. 4) read about your agenda(s), past resolutions, problems, proposed solutions, speeches etc 5) try to understand your country's stance on the agenda. Know about any laws that have been made, treaties that have been ratified and other actions that have been taken by your government. You also need to know about the flaws in your country in relation to a particular issue. 6) disect your agenda in to sub topics. This can be very hard at first but it gets easier as you gain experience. Eg, if your agenda is promotion of women equality, possible sub topics could be a) the role of NGOs and CSOs in promoting women equality b) causes of gender inequality c) patriarchy as a means of demeaning women empowerment d) social media and women empowerment Etc 7) Try to find flaws with existing international frameworks and other country's laws so that you can question them. Eg if the agenda is women empowerment, you could question the delegate of USA about there being no paid maternity leave in most states. 8) prepare a research binder 9) listen to the other delegates. Talk to experienced people and have a good time :)

u basically gotta be the bad guy

As a Chinese, I suggest you get more facts and read the rumour refuted by the Chinese Foreign Ministry. The truth is very different from the rumour. The so-called re-education Center is a centre for vocational skills education and training. It is a centre for preventive measures taken to counter-terrorist organizations. 😊 Anyway，I hope you can make a successful delegation！

Erkan Tezel I am going tomorrow 😶 I am a senior and I am freaking out and so nervous
