Chères/Chers MUNers ✨

ALERTE BON PLAN ‼️ Comme on est super gentils, qu'on vous aime et qu'on veut former l'élite munesque, on vous propose quelques exercices en plus pendant ces vacances pour vous entraîner davantage sur les bases du MUN et revenir en tant qu'experts à la rentrée 😎 C'est évidemment totalement facultatif parce qu'on est bien conscients que ces quelques jours de repos sont surtout dédiés à la révision des partiels ( pour lesquels on vous souhaite de tout déchirer d'ailleurs 💪🏼 ). Le but c'est vraiment pas de vous rajouter une pression supplémentaire mais vraiment d'offrir du support pour ceux qui ressentent le besoin de retravailler, de s'ameliorer ou de perfectionner certains aspects abordés dans les workshops. Ça vous donne aussi l'opportunité d'avoir un feedback personnalisé sur ce que vous produisez et donc de pouvoir mesurer votre maîtrise de l'exercice 😌

Du coup on va vous proposer 2 exercices différents qui devront être traités en fonction d'un pays et d'un sujet précis qui est le suivant : "Ending statelessness"
Ça veut donc dire que vous devrez choisir un pays à "représenter" de la même façon que lors d'un training. Concrètement, il s'agit pour le premier exercice, de rédiger un discours de GSL (General Speakers List) sur le sujet donné. Pour le deuxième, vous devrez trouver une ou deux motions à proposer sur ce sujet, accompagnée d'un discours chacune. 📝
Encore une fois libre à vous de traiter seulement l'un des 2 exercices, ou les 2 ou aucun enfin bref c'est vraiment vous qui voyiez ! 😋

Si ça vous intéresse, hésitez pas à remplir le formulaire juste en dessous, pour qu'on puisse vous envoyer les supports par mail rapidement ! 👇🏼

On vous met aussi le lien du formulaire pour l'attribution des pays ⬇️ :
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfK87E8eAFztH78OqHiWbtpIRsCZoCI5htty4QoooRMvB40Zg/viewform?usp=pp_url

Au plaisir de lire vos productions,

On se voit à la rentrée !! ❤️

TOPIC : “Ending Statelessness”

23/10/2022

Dear MUNers ✨,

We hope you enjoyed our first training session at least as much as we did and we thank you all very much for your involvement 😌☺️

This Tuesday 25th of October, from 8pm to 10pm, we will be working on the following topic : Protecting world heritage in time of crisis.
Please clink on the link below to choose your preferred countries to represent by filling the form 👇🏼 :
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScnnMzK1y-oC22q9GCmoOlNV5h9dfhKO1a4CN3gTnVB1XNutA/viewform?usp=pp_url

This will allow us to tackle the exercices of both the General Speakers List (GSL ) and the Moderate caucuses so come ready with your speeches, your ideas and your researches in order to make the best of it !! 💪🏼 We will also have a workshop precisely on motions ( how to propose them, how to find relevant ones...) which will take place at the end of the session, during the last 40 minutes.

This week's exercise is as follows: prepare a speech for the General Speakers' List (introduced speech) and then one or two speeches for the following motion: "emergency measures in case of armed conflicts".

For Tuesday, the place is : Bistrot du Jardin, 33 Rue Berger, 75001 😋

See you all Tuesday 😘

Chères/Chers MUNers ✨,

On espère que vous avez apprécié notre premier training au moins autant que nous et on vous remercie infiniment pour votre implication 😌☺️

Ce mardi 25 Octobre de 20h à 22h, on vous propose de travailler sur le sujet suivant : Protéger les héritages du monde en temps de crises
Cliquez sur le lien juste en dessous pour choisir votre pays à représenter en remplissant le formulaire 👇🏼 :
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScnnMzK1y-oC22q9GCmoOlNV5h9dfhKO1a4CN3gTnVB1XNutA/viewform?usp=pp_url

Ce sujet nous permettra d'avoir une base pour travailler les exercices de la General Speakers List (GSL) et des Moderate Caucuses alors venez préparés avec vos speech, vos idées et vos recherches pour en tirer le maximum !! 💪🏼 On vous proposera aussi justement un workshop sur les motions ( comment les proposer, comment en trouver des pertinentes ...) sur les dernières 40 minutes de la session.

L'exercice de la semaine est le suivant : préparer un speech pour la General Speakers' List (speech introduit) puis un ou deux speechs pour la motion suivante : "mesures d'urgence en cas de conflits armés"

En ce qui concerne le lieu c’est ici que ça se passe : Bistrot du Jardin, 33 Rue Berger, 75001 Paris😋

On se voit Mardi !! 😘

11/10/2022

Dear MUNers ✨,

Bad news 😔 : It is with great displeasure, and a pinch of annoyance, that we have to inform you that we won't be able to have a training session this week because of administrative issues due to the start of the school year 💔 We are very sorry for these last minute changes and we hope to still see you all once the problem is resolved, hopefully next week (fingers crossed 🤞🏼;)

However this is where the great news comes in 🤩 : since we'll make it happen no matter the circumstances, we do have a topic to share with you 🥳 Indeed, for this upcoming session, we will be working on the following subject : Eliminating and preventing child labour

The training will take place at:

🏡The Bistrot du jardin, 33 Rue Berger, 75001 Paris

Please clink on the link right below to fill in the Google Doc form to choose the country you might want to represent on this particular topic 👇🏼 :

What do you have to prepare for the next training?

- An introductive speech (General Speaker List) asserting the position of your country on the topic, of a total duration of 1 minute

- One or two speeches on a more precise topic:
"Provide support to children found in child labour"

We really invite you to involve yourselves, make thorough researches, and write impacting speeches 💪🏼 We cannot wait to hear all of you !

We will keep you updated as soon as we have more informations about the where and how this will all go down 😉 Until then keep checking our page regularly as well as SONU's instagram to not miss any updates 😘

Have a great week, and see you (most likely virtually) next tuesday without fault !!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chères/Chers MUNers ✨,

Mauvaise nouvelle 😔 : Malheureusement, et malgré toute notre bonne volonté, on ne va pas pouvoir assurer le training de demain à cause de problèmes administratifs qui font qu’avec la rentrée nous n’avons pas encore de salle. On est vraiment désolés pour ces changements de dernière minute et on espère tout de même vous voir nombreux dès que le problème sera résolu (on croise les doigts 🤞🏼).

La bonne nouvelle c'est que puisqu'on fera notre training la semaine prochaine (qu’il pleuve qu'il vente ou qu'il neige), on a un sujet pour vous 🥳. Pour cette première session, le sujet sera le suivant : Eliminer et empêcher le travail (forcé) des enfants

Cliquez sur le lien juste en dessous pour remplir le formulaire Google Doc grâce auquel vous pourrez choisir le pays que vous voudriez représenter sur ce sujet 👇🏼 :
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScgROWQig7vmBkg3ocNF9-I7yu6r25j39nqqm2utGaaqv19gA/viewform?usp=pp_url

On vous invite vivement à vous impliquer, à approfondir vos recherches au maximum et à rédiger des speechs impactants pour le prochain training ! On a hâte de vous entendre parler !

On vous tient au courant dès qu'on a plus d'infos sur le où et le comment tout ça va avoir lieu. D'ici là hésitez pas à consulter régulièrement la page Facebook, où même l'instagram de SONU pour ne louper aucune update 😘

Très bonne semaine et on se voit tous (virtuellement ou en présentiel) mardi prochain sans faute !!
