MUN: Mock Debate

On the 12th of November, the Model United Nations mock debate was held at the International School of Kenya. In this event, all the schools that will participate in the actual EAMUN conferences in February came to ISK and it was a chance for us to debate various resolutions that participants had written and get a sense of what the conference in February will be like.
The country I represented at the debate was Ukraine, and I was a delegate for the ecology committee. This committee focuses on environmental issues and human interactions with the environment. Seeing as the entire event only ran for about 2 hours, we did not have time to debate too many resolutions and sadly, the only resolution that an ISK student had written was not debated. We managed to get through four or five resolutions and this was a chance for us all to see what components make a resolution stand out to delegates and what should not be included.
Soon, I will be given the country that I will represent at the conference in February and I will begin to write a resolution with the rest of the delegates from that country. Hopefully, by using what we learned at the mock debates, we will be able to write a powerful resolution that people will find hard to vote against!
