On December 17, 2011, Macedonia Model United Nations (MMUN) and The Coalition of Youth Organizations SEGA hosted the Winter Invitational at the five American Corners around Macedonia. The Winter Invitational offers students the opportunity to apply for positions as advanced participation teams or committee chairs. Advanced participation teams in MMUN, are teams that are seeking to represent one of the Security Council countries at the MMUN 2012 Conference. At the Winter Invitational, these prospective teams were asked a series of questions focused on substantive information about the People’s Republic of China, the practice state for the invitational, questions on the Rules of Procedure for the MMUN 2012 Conference and finally a series of questions seeking to tease out the team’s ability to effectively research international affairs. Overall around 50 students applied to be advanced participation teams. These students came from both Universities and High schools from around Macedonia.
The MMUN Winter Invitational also allowed students to apply to chair one of the seven committees that will be hosted at the summer conference. Committee Chairs will be in charge of overseeing discussion and debate, enforcing rules of procedure, and ensuring that the debate stays on topic. Students applied to chair the Security Council, General Assembly, United Nations Development Progamme, World Trade Organization, Economic and Social Council, World Health Organization or the United Nations Children’s Fund. Applicants were asked a series of questions on the Rules of Procedure for the conference, substantive questions about their specific committee and were given a series of leadership scenarios that gave them the opportunity to demonstrate how they would address possible situations that could arise in their committee room. Sixteen students applied to be committee chairs. These students were a multiethnic mix from High Schools and Universities from around Macedonia.
Through the Winter Invitational MMUN was able to identify a group of engaged and enthusiastic students that will be the leaders of the 2012 Conference and will be essential for the conference to be a success.
