When it comes to winning the Best Delegate award during a Model United Nations (MUN) conference, you must be well prepared, possess diplomatic skills, and actively engage in the discussions being held throughout the event. The following tips can help you achieve this prized recognition:
- Research Well: Before the MUN, make sure to thoroughly research the topic, your country's stance, and the context. Familiarise yourself with your country's position on the issues and be well-versed in past policies and resolutions relevant to the topics.
- Know The Rules: Have a comprehensive understanding of the MUN conference rules and procedures, encompassing the art of making points, and motions, and adeptly navigating the committee's formalities.
- Speak Confidently: Practice public speaking to communicate your points clearly, and confidently. Eloquence and presentation will make you stand out during moderated and unmoderated caucuses.
- Participate Constantly: Maintain consistent and active participation throughout the conference. Offer substantive and relevant points during moderated sessions and actively collaborate with others during unmoderated caucuses.
- Foster Alliances: Establish alliances with delegates with similar interests and objectives, fostering a cohesive bloc, which can enhance your influence within the committee.
- Listen To The Others: Pay attention to what other delegates are saying and engage with their ideas. Acknowledging and building upon their points can lead to fruitful debates, and will create a good impression.
- Manage Your Time Well: Make the most of the limited time available. Be concise and focused in your statements to maximise your impact during the conference.
The Best Delegate award is not just about individual accomplishments, but also about fostering collaboration to find real-world solutions. You can also broaden your horizons and enhance your overall experience by participating actively and positively in the MUN community.
Good luck!
