We will provide a research template and guidance to get you started. We will provide research links to the UN, the CIA, the US State Department and country government websites around the world for you to access additional detailed information.
Focused Research on the Resolution
February-March
Based on your research, you determine your country’s positions on the draft Resolution and find support for that position (through empirical data, quotes from government leaders, and other research materials).
Drafting of Speeches
March
Your speech should state whether your country is in favor of or opposed to the various operative paragraphs of the draft Resolution. Explain why your country supports or opposes particular operative clauses of the Resolution, and if you oppose, recommend changes thereto. Advisers will assist the students in revising and finalizing their speeches.
Submit your Speech
Early April 2022
Submit an electronic copy of your completed speech to modeluneugene@gmail.com. You may continue to refine your speech after this date but we will be distributing the April 5 copy to the other delegations at the beginning of the Conference.
Practice Speeches
late March – early April
Practice your speeches as often as possible. Time your speech and delete or add content so that you do not exceed the maximum time for sponsoring speeches and supporting speeches (maximum length of a sponsoring speech be approximately eight minutes; supporting speeches will be approximately five minutes. Final maximum times will be provided to advisors and students in March). We will attempt to provide your team with a Rotary Club meeting venue to give your speech to a live audience before the MUN Conference.
