About Kazan Model United Nations club

KazMUN club is a place where people devote their time to personal development. It is a club for people who are interested in what is going on around them and who wish to learn more.

Our main task is to help people to contribute to their development and to share our knowledge and experience with them. KazMUN provides great opportunities to practice in public speaking, non -verbal communication, develop eloquence and ideas expressing skills, learn time management and goal-setting. Also with KazMUN’s help you can get useful experience of participating in various conferences and debates on different levels (from local to international).

We share ideas and opinions on diverse topics and encourage people to speak up, to actively participate in discussions and debates. KazMUN has started its work in March of 2011 and since then conducts such meetings as:

- master-classes (public speaking, non - verbal communication, time management, goal-setting)

- trainings

- debates (parliamentary, MUN)

- discussions

- case studies

- different educational games

The club meetings are usually held in English.

We think it’s a great tool which plunges our participants into a lingual atmosphere, helps them in practicing speaking skills and develops the speed of thoughts.

If it all applies to you and you wish to know more, WARMLY WELCOME TO OUR CLUB!

3. Your task

Firstly, each delegate is supposed to be aware of what European Union and the Council of Ministers is. At the debates you are going to work in the simulated Foreign Affairs Council. Get acquainted with the materials from this issue book about the Council.

It is absolutely essential for you to know the topic (see Agenda, Issue Book) in order to debate effectively. We also recommend you to read the news related to the agenda and chronological history of the Syrian crisis.

Each delegate is an expert on the topic discussed and also a representative of one country (Austria, Germany and etc.). Please, search for the information about your country. You may even make up a kind of country profile (location, territory, population, natural resources, manufacture, export, import and etc.). Pay attention especially to the areas related to the discussion topic.

During the debates you will make speeches, ask questions, argue and certainly try to reach consensus all together. You are supposed to propose joint actions of the countries in order to overcome existing challenges. (for example, create special bodies, projects, programs, make sanctions and etc.)

See Issues to be addressed by the participants in the Issue Book in order to know final goals of the debates.

REMEMBER! You should care about the policy of the whole European Union. Your main goal is to reach consensus with other members. Please, make sure your statements and proposals do not only promote your country’s national interests, but work for the EU also.
