This class will help you understand the procedure of a MUN meeting and the basic rules all delegates must follow. You can check out the ROP for WMUN2010 here http://www.worldmun.org/worldmun-rules.

About Island Model UN 2010     November 27th to 28th

“Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish”

    在全球化的今天，我們不斷地從報章雜誌、電視上或各種演講場合中，聽到或讀到各式各樣對「國際觀」這樣一個概念的所做的定義或解說。或許國際觀從來就不是一種能力，而是一種想要了解世界和各種人文風情的欲望和衝動。當Steve Jobs在2005年的史丹佛畢業生演講的最終重複覆誦道“Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish”時，才發現即便在這個紛亂多元的時代裡，我們所需要做的，也不過是找回當初在海灘上種花那種好奇心、想像力及近乎愚昧的謙懷。求知若渴，虛心若愚。


    台灣的模聯正在成長及茁壯當中，我們需要更多有著這樣信念的朋友們的加入。因此我們決定回到原點，以提供初學者熟悉模擬會議及能力發揮的平台為宗旨，在今年的11/27及11/28兩天，舉行第一屆臺北大學世界島模擬聯合國會議。


    在宣傳及其他服務上，我們採用中文及簡潔的說明，方便第一次接觸或剛接觸模聯不久的朋友們了解及報名；而在會議場上，我們則仍以毫不馬虎的態度，謹守著模擬聯合國會議的基本精神及型式，以英文作為會場官方語言，並提供專業的Study Guide編輯、完整的會議流程及議規，以力求會議場上模擬的真實度。


    因此，我們誠摯地邀請您在11/27、11/28兩天，共同參與世界島模擬聯合國會議。不論您的目是增強外語能力、或是為了了解國際議題，甚至只是想認識來自四面八方的朋友，我們都歡迎您藉著這次的會議中，找到實現夢想的方向和可能。同時，我們也歡迎老朋友的加入及指教。


IMUN的基本價值及方向：

1.      提供大學生實際接觸及了解國際事務的機會；

2.      更有效地在北大校園內推廣模聯；

3.      作為校際模聯社的資訊交流平台；

4.      提供校際模聯初學者基礎練習的管道；

5.      為模聯在台灣的發展盡一份心力。

 

也因此IMUN必須具有下列的特性：

1.      宣傳與交流性質；

2.      給予初學者必要的協助及建議；

3.      嚴謹的會議模擬及程序；

4.      收費及其他門檻要求相對低廉及簡單；

5.      素材上著重傳統議題的再架構；

6.      友善及貼心的會場服務；

7.      開放及彈性的準備程序。

2010 Oct 11th Speech Training

Hi y'all,

The results of the recent poll are out! And It seems that Monday night is the best time for most people! So our class time has been formally changed to every Monday night, 6~8:30 PM, at CS311. Study groups are now set on Sunday night, 6~8:30 PM. We'll be reading the book Understanding the global experience : becoming a responsible world citizen and doing other activities as well. Further info about the study group will be given during this Monday's class.

Speech is an important component of the Model United Nations experience. The ability to keep your audience's attention and interest is an important ability in this information packed age. This week's class will be on Speech Training, with some speech activities and study group assignments. See you there!

Topic: Speech Training
Time: Monday, October 11th, 18:00~20:30
Location: KMU CS311

Best,
Grace
