General situation of model association
The origin of model association
Model United Nations is a conference that imitates the United Nations and relevant international institutions and is held around international hot issues according to its operation mode and principles of procedure. Young students play diplomats from different countries and participate in "United Nations meetings" as representatives of various countries.
Model United Nations activities originated in the United States. After more than 60 years of development, it has become popular all over the world, with various forms and large scale. There are international conferences, national conferences, and regional and inter-school conferences, with participants ranging from college students to high school students and even junior high school students.
Model Union is in China.
In 1990s, Model United Nations activities entered China, and the development momentum is particularly rapid in recent years. Model United Nations activities are widely carried out in Beijing and Shanghai. At present, 80% high schools in Beijing have participated in this activity. The annual Peking University International Model United Nations Conference has become the largest model United Nations conference in Asia. Since 2007, Model United Nations has not only further developed in the eastern developed areas, but also penetrated into the western and southwestern regions.
Model Union is in Guangzhou
In Guangzhou, the development of model association is growing stronger and stronger. Ten excellent high schools in Guangzhou have been actively carrying out this activity, including: Huafu, Shi Sheng, Zhixin, Guangya, No.3 Middle School, No.5 Middle School, No.6 Middle School, No.7 Middle School, Nanhai Huafu and our Zhongyuan Middle School. Every middle school regularly holds one or two model association meetings on campus every year, and the representatives of the meetings are mostly composed of model association members from other sister schools and our school. Delegates abide by the rules of the Congress and, under the auspices of the Presidium of the Congress, expound their views on "their own country" through speeches, debates and lobbying, so as to serve the interests of "their own country", communicate and cooperate with friendly countries, and resolve conflicts; They discussed the draft resolution and promoted international cooperation. They give full play to their talents on the stage of the United Nations.
Die Lian zai zhong yuan
In our school, the Model United Nations community is as vibrant as the new sun. In less than a year since its establishment, Zhongyuan Model Association has actively organized and participated in various model association activities inside and outside the school.
Before the establishment of the club, we attended the meetings of Guangya, Hua Fu and Intimate as an observer group to accumulate experience. Within two months after its completion, the first simulation joint meeting of Guangdong Zhongyuan Middle School was held. The meeting also invited representatives from Zhixin, Shi Sheng, Guangya, No.6 Middle School, No.7 Middle School and Nanhai Huafu to attend the meeting, and then sent representatives to participate in the Provincial Model Association and won the "Best Role Playing Award".
In the recent summer vacation, China Yuan Mo Lian sent five representatives to attend the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Model United Nations Conference held by Shenzhen Middle School. At this conference, we tried to send representatives to the English group meeting for the first time, and all the representatives gained a lot. The representative of China Group continued to exert the charm of Zhongyuan Model Association and won the "Best Representative Award" again (nearly 70 representatives from more than 20 schools attended the meeting, and the winner of the "Best Role Playing Award" was the only representative).
Significance of model association
1. The model association brings us a broader vision.
Model United Nations activities involve a wide range of issues, most of which are hot issues facing all countries today. In such a passionate and challenging era of globalization, with the deepening of reform and opening up in China and the complicated and changeable international situation, actively participating in this activity will not only help students understand the United Nations, but also open a window for them and provide them with a stage to care about the world, think and discuss issues from an international perspective.
2. Exercise leadership and cooperation spirit.
Model United Nations activities are a highly interactive learning experience. You can not only study and discuss international affairs, but also exercise your organizational skills, planning and management skills, research and writing skills, speech and debate skills, conflict resolution skills, seeking common ground while reserving differences, and communication skills through practice. These will benefit us for life.
3. A grand gathering of elites
In the model association activities, you can exchange and study with outstanding students from many other schools. There are many talented people with knowledge and ability in the model association. On the big stage of Model League, they show their diplomatic characteristics of representing their countries and show their elegance with their personal charm and academic knowledge.
4. Stimulate English enthusiasm and cultivate learning ability
In Model English Group, reading background materials, writing a lot of documents at the meeting, listening to speeches and expounding opinions all put forward high requirements for students' English level. Model United Nations activities are experiential activities, and delegates need to express themselves consciously and independently in English when they are integrated into diplomatic occasions. In this environment, students' enthusiasm for learning English is greatly stimulated.
Although the last meeting is only a few days, the table should be ready before the meeting. Delegates must pay close attention to "their own country" and study and learn a country's politics, economy, foreign policy and other aspects. Only in this way can they give full play to the role of diplomats. In fact, the preparation process is an integration process of multidisciplinary knowledge. Delegates need to closely integrate political, economic, historical and geographical knowledge with the issues to be discussed at the meeting and think about the relationship between various elements. In this way, the barriers between disciplines are broken and a complete knowledge system is formed.
