Workshop Synopsis
Workshop Synopsis
The purpose of the Level One MUN Directors Institute is to help teachers understand the fundamentals of Model UN. It is highly recommended for Directors who are new to MUN or never had formal training in MUN. In a one day Institute, teachers will learn how to deliver a series of one-hour lessons and activities for teaching research, public speaking, resolution writing, and procedure to new delegates. On the second day, teachers will participate in an MUN debate and sit a certification exam, if desired. Teachers will receive lesson plans, training materials, and online videos that can be used to teach MUN. Teachers will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the one day Institute, but may also sit a written exam that, if passed, will lead to full Level One Best Delegate Director Certification.
Level I will be repeated at the THIMUN Qatar 2020 conference. You must be pre-registered for this MUN professional development.
