THE 1MSKMUN DELEGATE WELCOME TO 1MSKMUN2019

ABOUT US

1MSKMUN is a Model United Nations conference that takes place in the first middle school of Kifisia, . It started out as a simple local MUN conference in May 2018, but since then it has been growing to an international conference filled with students from all over the world. Our school is the only public school with an MUN conference in . A few years ago it was thought that MUN conferences could successfully be organized and managed only by private schools. However our public school proved this attitude to be wrong. This is our second conference and we hope it will be as successful as the previous one!

FREE LESSONS

For a lot of delegates this is the first time they participate in an MUN conference. Because of this our school provides those delegates with free lessons, in order to make them more confident in their role and also help them understand some concepts that they might not have fully understood. In these lessons our school informs students about the procedures of MUN and also helps them create a powerful resolution. If you are interested, please inform our principal.

THE HISTORICAL CRISIS COMMITTEE

This year there will be a new addition to the 1MSKMUN conference. The previous year’s conference was composed of 6 committees. These were the “ECOSOC”, the “SOCHUM”, the “Environmental”, the “Political”, the “Disarmament” and last but not least the Security council committee. However this year a new committee was added called “Historical Crisis committee”.The Historical Crisis Committee is a continuous crisis committee, making it quite different from the normal MUN committee. Delegates’ decisions and actions will immediately affect the perpetual crisis at hand, and the plots and predicaments that delegates will be asked to deal with are only partially revealed prior to the conference, making for an unpredictable, volatile, and urgent, but undoubtedly exciting, experience. This year’s problem will be the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii which happened on 7th December 1941. This is an event which changed the course of the World War II as the US joined the allies. We are looking forward to the outcome of this committee.

INTERNATIONAL 1MSKMUN

In this year’s conference there will be one more big change. This year, the 1MSKMUN will be an international MUN conference filled with delegates from all over the world. This is a tremendous change as the previous year’s MUN had delegates only from Kifisia and its neighboring suburbs. We, the organizers of this conference, are anxious but hopeful at the same time, as this conference will be filled with more than 250 delegates. We are looking forward to the outcome of this conference.
