Hey everyone! As some of you may know, I’ve finally started university this month and am pursuing Psychology and Political Science. My PoliSci professor mentioned we have a model UN club that even goes to the actual UN in New York!
The problem is I have to fill out a registration form listing 3 countries I’d like to represent, I also have to submit a one-page position paper, and a 90 second speech about climate change.
I’m asking here because I’d like your input on what countries to list and how to go about my position paper. They’re kind of vague on details about how to write said paper so I thought I’d look for guidance here since you’ve all been somewhat of a rock for me. I feel safe and balanced here especially since school is full of well meaning libs. I have horrible debilitating anxiety and I’m sort of throwing myself into the fire but I feel it’s necessary for my journey into fighting misinformation and red-scare propaganda.
I want to take advantage of the resources available to me that many are barred from accessing.
So yeah, that’s my whole thing haha. If you have any advice for dealing with the anxiety especially when it comes to debates I’d be incredibly grateful.
Will be cross posting this to freechat as I’m unsure if this fits here.
No offense but this sounds like countryball larping, what a nightmare. And without any theatre kids to make it fun.
That’s actually a hilariously apt way to describe it.
Considering the whole point is to act as delegates and have to follow standard “UN speak” (eg. no personal pronouns) really hammers home the larping bit.
Larping but there’s a trip to New York included.
