18 KJS delegates took part in the NY MUN organised by BBS PIK from 22 to 23 January 2021. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MUN delegates learn about diplomacy, international relations, current issues and how this cornerstone of the globe ticks. Research, critical thinking, public speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MUN was slightly different for me as the PIK campus gave us plenty of time to read the handouts and write our position papers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My chairs, Juanira and Angelina, were very hospitable and told me to prepare the opening speech. I motioned to add to the speaker\u2019s list and read out my speech. After that , it didn\u2019t feel that bad, so I decided to prepare many other speeches based on my research last minute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So then I came up with short and effective speeches to say for the conference since I wasn\u2019t that scared anymore. I was honestly thankful that I had prepared the night before, so I didn\u2019t panic as much. I just kept on getting added to the speaker\u2019s list. It was almost addicting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The delegate of Nepal motioned to start the working paper, so we went into a breakout room, and I decided that I would like to join in with the other bloc since the delegate of Thailand, Natalie, had ideas that I wanted more. So I became a sponsor of the working paper, draft resolution and the final resolution of bloc two, which was unexpected since I wasn\u2019t planning to be that active in the conference. I was slightly nervous about the other bloc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our group had better chemistry and a connection together since we made a group chat. Therefore, we were able to communicate easier during the conference. Everyone in our bloc was tremendous, and we had a lot of great moments together, we still talk to this day. I was close to the sponsors, Michelle, Karin, Natalie and Cailin. We had calls to talk about our paper, and I also bonded with the delegate of Belarus and Ingrit from BBS Bandung. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We took our personal experiences with mental health into account to make a good paper. Although the debate was scary for me, Dylan and Donna, the USG\u2019s became shadow delegates to help us fight back against bloc 1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the end, our bloc won since more people voted for our paper, and the chairs liked our ideas more; they greatly supported us. Besides, I also won an honourable mention award, which shocked me. I was thankful, though, and I congratulate the other winners. In the end, everyone is a winner in their way. Hope to see you next MUN!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
