How to Be a Successful Delegate in MUN? By Sezen Özkalp

RESEARCH Do not forget; a good research is the basis of the path which goes to being a leading delegate. Can you imagine being successful without knowledge about the topic? It is kind of impossible I believe.

ATTITUDE AND APPEARANCE Always and always behave in a kind and formal manner even if you are in a conflict with the other delegates and your opinions are very different. Another aspect is your look. Delegates wearing clothes which are formal and suitable for business attire are one step ahead of the others. First impression is more important than you think.

RAISE YOUR PLACARD HIGH Raising your placard high is a way to show how confident you are.

JUST TAKE THE FLOOR It is nothing to worry or be scared about. Take the floor, stand upright and impress all the house with your speech and courage.

HOW TO MAKE A GOOD SPEECH? A successful delegate speaks with high voice but it is not shouting what I mean. Stand upright, look at the delegates, use gestures and be confident. Represent your country and reflect your policy very well. And always give reasons to your arguments.

ASK POINTS OF INFORMATION Listen every speech very carefully and examine them. Then you will find a point to ask about.

FOCUS ON SOLUTIONS AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE RESOLUTION(S) AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE If you have the opportunity, bring your laptop with you. Now, it is time to reveal your creativity. A delegates success can be measured with his/her solution proposals.
