- In this video I answer 8 questions from a wonderful subscriber that I think coincidentally touch on some of the most important and representative issues in MUN = Model United Nations.
I hope this was helpful!! If yall like the idea of a series let me know, or would you rather I just do a few videos rather than a series?
Next video is about the Thinking Skills Assessment (TSA) and how to prepare for it, so subscribe to stay tuned :DDDD

how to get over anxietyyyyy about talking as a delegate. feel like im gonna make a fool of myself if i speak. and what are lobbying techniques?
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!
I won Best Delegate in my first MUN conference and my fellow delegate "friend" was super jealous. If u are in your first conference I have a tip, you don't need to be a main submitter and shit just do your opening speech well, volunteer for motions and ask thousands of POI's for every single speech.
Awesome
Hey I just applied and I’m literally digging CZcams 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...
me watching this video on the middle of the conference : 🤟🏿😛
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 🤣🤣
I won an bd once without doing much research, without being a powerful bloc leader. I just argued and provided few good solutions.
And yea diplomacy is main !!!
This is some quality content I wanna see more of!
this is great! i liked the part at around 6:00 talking about organizing research❣️
As a beginner in MUN, I feel like I don't know much about world history/ politics in general. What kind of research should I do before doing any MUN stuff?
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 started MUN this week and I feel so dumb compared to everyone else since they have experience with debate and all that but I don’t, but I guess I’ll just take it as a learning experience, I don’t know anyone in the conference and will probably never see them again so if you feel like I do just try your best and have fun
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
please share your research method!!
i didn't know anything about MUN on my first confrence i bearly talked and never had enough info so this helped alotttt
I have an MUN project in school in a few days and have no clue what to do so this is really helpfull
This is really helping me in my MUN right now.
in a week, im a gonna do a mun through zoom. I better hope for the a good internet connection here
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'.
Lol! I come here every time I have a MUN, thanks for the tips Chloe!
Could you please go over your research document planning? Or basically just how you research
LOVED THIS! Would you please post on your research method?
More MUN guides please. particularly on UNMOD. thank you
Really helpful.
Impressive thought process.
Yes we want to see how!
my first mun went horribly. I was in a GA and not enough research. I didn't know anything about how i was supposed to prepare for it. Didn't speak, def didn't win, hated it. I'm hoping to participate again though!
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 CZcams channel
OMG CHLOE! YOURE LIKE FAMOUS! What the heck girlie???
SO HELPFUL thank you!
Please kindly share your research method if you don't mind chloe! It will really help us all :)
Wow you really inspire me a lot! I’m no where on having any international relations background or many MUN experiences to get a high chance on winning B.D. Or any awards, but I think I can make myself stand out by emphasizing every arguments with statistical data dan analysis ( forecasting , multiple linear regression, etc ) because I’m majoring statistics, could I get at least honorable mention by using that? By the way I didn’t know that u’re half Indonesian until I read your description box, I’m also Indonesian and am planning to compete in a MUN in Singapore next year!
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)
okay alright..so I went to my first MUN 2 days ago. a 3 day hectic process with concerts,socials, amazing food, talented people and above all amazing chairs(dais). the first day was quiet awkward. the ones who wanted to talk talked and the others didn't. 99/100 were first timers so they didn't know what shit they were doing.
mind u our topic was "space demilitarisation" and I got "USA" as a FIRST TIMER. the worst country and the country that ACTUALLY MAKES THE WHOLE PROBLEM..it was too much to handle as a first timer. everyone was throwing h8 at me. so much shouting and cursing in unmoderated caucasus...nevertheless, on the second day I had learned how things worked. I forged when my country was offended wether people cared or not, I went up front and ordered my speech loud and clear and got 25/30 votes, my resolutions were accepted, I had 15/30 allies no matter what USA did. these were all amazing experiences. everyone commented on my speech particularly, so did the Dias. but although I didn't win the award I know I will next time..I can't believe the 3 days went so fast I wish I could relive all those amazing times over..
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
Yes please share your research template!!!
YOURE SO PREETTY❤
Yes, please tell us your Research Template, greatly NEED it!
lmao you beat our head delegate in ASEAN at YMUN that year. this is such an interesting coincidence.
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!
the question u said at 7:40 is a strike/resolution paper question, not a POI. loved the video and found it vv helpful ❤❤❤
I didnt get BD but i got a SM and ngl its good enough for how much i participated. It was my second MUN and i didn't work quite hard so i know of i did work hard i would have gotten a BD or OD at least
I'm going to attend my first MUN in a few weeks and I'm superrr nervous idek anything abt politics or economics ugh my anxiety is killing me I just hope I don't get a panic attack during the conference
i get overwhelmed when researching comes, i dont know where i should start
Hi! May I please ask if a delegate should research on other countries' stances and info?
Thank you for your great sharing. Really want and need to see your research template and sample. Grateful if you can share🙏
Just participated on my first IMUN today... I guess I should have come here at the very beginning.
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 :)
When writing a position paper is it ok to make 9 preambs, or too long.
Could you share your MUN research templates or some sorts of additional resources related to MUN with us ?Thanks a lot!
How do you go choose a country to represent. What so you consider?
Going to my second year participating on an MUN, I made SEVERAL mistakes on my first year, so I’m here to correct them :3
thanks, this gave a bit confidence
Pls share ur research methods !
How challenging would you say the Model UN for an 8 grade students?
Cool....thank youu so muchh huhu...
My first MUN went great.
hey chloe, i am very curious and I wonder if you would share this, how did you improve ur english or how did u start building ur english as ur strong subject , would you please share that experience? i appreciate it . thanks a lot.
Yes please I want you to do a video or tell me I have a mun on 2nd April and I really wanna win in this one and yes I want some researching techniques and speeches techniques and how to make speeches better and get more recognised in a commitee of 50 people
Can you please make a video on how to write an opening speech for the delegate of Jordan? I really don't know how to write it and there is no proper video in CZcams for thus. Please.
Please share your research method.
Anybody else have Harvard MUN 5 days later? Let me know which committee are you in - it's my first time and I'm kinda nervous lmao. Since it's online it's harder to make friends too.
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 :)
hey, I would like to see the very meticulous research method that you use, which you mentioned at 5:33 please? I've participated in 3 conferences so far, and have one Hon Men and one Outstanding Del-- so I'm really working my way up the ladder here but I just cant seem to find that research process-- or that "missing piece", which would ultimately land me a Best Del for once(because I do a lot of research but my process is very chaotic and disorganized), so yeah... T-T Please, please, PLEASE do this, as it would mean a lot to me--- as well as the thousands of other beginner MUNers who have increasingly been able to participate thanks to virtual MUNs.

I watched this video one day before my very first MUN and guys, I got an award as best delegate! I can’t believe, there were so much great people there... 😭🤍
Really, that's very good congratulations!

It's my first MUN on 6th January and I am clueless regarding my Topic.
It is about Ukraine signing treaty of Amity and cooperation. (ASEAN treaty for peace and cooperation) and I got Algeria.
Now I don't know from where to start my research. There is little information on Google regarding this treaty.
If anyone is experienced, kindly help.
Help mee.. I have a hard time expressing
my sentences clearly and coherently....
Same dawg
Hi Chloe! Are you studying at Oxford or UChicago? xx
Also, I'd definitely be interested in hearing more about your research method please :)
My first MUN will be on April 14th...IM SO SCAREDD
Research method please!!!
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 :)
Did you pay for all of your MUN conferences ??
