TEMPLE
Model
UN
The purpose of Model UN is to help
delegates address global issues
through communication and
teamwork in a professional
environment. Model UN focuses on
various aspects of teamwork,
debate, diplomacy, compromise
and leadership. Model UN provides
delegates an opportunity to work
toward excellence through
innovative thinking in conferences
that emulate the real United
Nations held year round.
What is Model UN?
 It is a simulation of the workings of the United
Nations
 The United Nations itself is composed of
numerous standing and temporary
committees, each of which is charged with
a separate task
 Model UN conferences select a small
number of committees to simulate
 Each school represents one or more
countries on the committees to which it is
assigned.
NO EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED
WE WILL TRAIN YOU
Example
 Temple registers and selects France, Egypt and
Ghana to represent in a conference.
 The conference we attend will give us France.
 We will then break into committees we will
participate in. One committee, for example, is
the WHO (World Health Organization).
 The conference will give us Ghana to
represent and give us issues that we will
discuss. (ex. Sex Education for Young Students).
 The Delegate will then research Ghana and
write a one page position paper on what
Ghana’s current issues are and how they
would resolve this issue.
At the Conference
 It is best to sit with your country’s allies.
This is the best way to make friends at the
very beginning.
 Ghana’s allies are the USA, Nigeria ,
Great Britain, Togo, and Burkina Faso.
 You will then participate in debate and
discussion about Sexual Education and
as Ghana you want to make it a point
that the UN looks are your proposals for
better Sex Education.
 You will then write a resolution paper
and try to compromise on a solution that
best fits your country and others (we will
train you).
In a committee
 All work geared toward writing
resolutions to address the topics
before the committees
 Work is done through:
 Formal debate – formal speeches
to the conference
 Caucusing – informal negotiation
