Events and Activities of the Conference

Model United Nations Conference Sessions

The highlights of the HSMUN conference are the sessions themselves. Delegates will be able to represent different countries and discuss the world’s greatest problems. Not only are you able to experience what it is like to be a diplomat, but also become part of the decision making process of many of the resolutions to be passed, with this come the challenges of debating and negotiating with many of the other delegates. But do you remember to prepare beforehand, to become one of the leaders of these sessions.

United Nations Introduction and History

Do you understand what the world’s largest multinational organization? Or do you have a few questions about the United Nations? Maybe you wish to know the origins of the UN and the main goal of this organization? What is the UN doing around the world now? We will be providing an introductory session for you, thus allowing you to truly understand the UN and become a better diplomat during the sessions!

English Training Session

During these sessions, delegates will have to communicate their ideas to everyone else in English, and to most of these delegates, this is probably the first time they must participate in a formal session in English. So are you becoming nervous already? Don’t fret! We’ve prepared a bunch of English training sessions and exercises to help you be ready for the sessions.

Rules of Procedure Introduction

Within the Model United Nations sessions, there are a set of rules known as Rules of Procedure (ROP) to ensure that the conference sessions proceed smoothly. After providing an introduction to these rules, to ensure that the delegates understand how to proceed in sessions, we have prepared an exercise to help you get used to these rules. At the same time, we’ll also be teaching you how to write Draft Resolutions (DR), thus allowing you all to put your ideas on paper!

Real Life Role Play Game

Let’s take a break from all those sessions and play a game of real life RPG. We have created a whole series of games throughout the NTU campus, where you are your teammates can get to know each other as well as the MUN team, as well as the NTU campus just a little bit better. So are you ready?

Ballroom dancing

To any diplomat, a ballroom scene is a normal occasion.
To a MUNer, to attend a soiree, is to dance.

Do you wish to become the centre of everyone’s attention? Then you shall learn just how to do so through our ballroom tutoring.

We have hired a ballroom instructor, to teach everyone the basics they’ll need to become a master of ballroom dancing.

World Trade Game

When you’re country is low on resources, and there is no more time. Everyone is shouting to get hold of each other’s’ resources, are you calm enough to find a solution?

When you are pressured by so many other nations to make a decision, but with the wrong step, your country may collapse, are you able to find a compromise with your friends or foes?
In this organized chaos of a game, can you come out on top?
The World Trade Game is the diplomat’s game of strategy, where your wisdom, wits, and negotiating skills are put to the test.
Do you have what it takes to be the next superpower?

Soiree

With the gentlemen in suits, and the ladies in dresses, all the delegates may enjoy a night full of performances, an exquisite banquet and to truly experience a night as an ambassador. So don’t be shy, court a partner, and dance away into the night!
