Model UN is an activity that has something to offer to learners of all ages- middle school students, high school students, college level students and adults who are involved in the activity. While there are lots of clear ways for students to get involved (check out our summer program), it is sometimes less clear how faculty advisors can educate themselves further about MUN and how best to run MUN programs. Below are the Top 3 Best Delegate training opportunities for Model UN Advisors.
- During the summer, Best Delegate runs an Advisors Institute through our Model United Nations Institute (MUNI). MUNI provides advisors an opportunity to travel to one of our campus locations, this year’s being Georgetown University, and work with our Best Delegate and MUNI staff to learn how to run MUN clubs, programs, conferences and prepare students for all things MUN. This program is also an opportunity to meet advisors from around the world and compare experiences and make connections that can greatly benefit your MUN programs moving forward.[spacer height=”20px”]
- Another advisor training program offered by Best Delegate is the Director Training Institute at THIMUN Hague, Singapore and Qatar. This is a program held in collaboration with THIMUN that helps teach both advisors and university level leaders how to promote MUN in their respective regions. This is done through on-site lessons about public speaking and resolution writing as well as post conference lesson plans and videos to assist attendees year round.[spacer height=”20px”]
- In its inaugural conference, the Best Delegate Model UN Conference will be providing a separate programming opportunity for advisors in order to help not only delegates in their MUN skills but assist in building MUN programs for schools planning to attend. BDMUNC will be offering a Professional Development opportunity for Advisors to help empower their students. One of the key objectives of this conference is to help fill the gaps that advisors see in other MUN conferences and address the growing needs of MUN programs in becoming even more established and beneficial to students education. The best way to do that is a dual program which allows learning opportunities for those involved with MUN at all levels. Interested in this Advisor program, check out BDMUNC registrations here.
