MUN - ONU

 

Dear Charlie,

On Saturday morning, from nine to twelve thirty, we went to Aix-en-Provence for a debate in english about a great subject: Youth, Unemployment, Criminality: How to Combat the Impoverishment of the Young Population?

It was organised by the Aix Model United Nations (MUN)

Lots of different deleguates were there to put themselves in the shoes of their countries such as the UK, Germany, Chile, South Korea, Greece, France, or Argentina who was embodied by Loïc, student from première OIB.

The flags of the countries were at the back of the room and there was as you can see some drinks and biscuits.

LoÏc representing Argentine.

All the morning, the delegates discussed about many subjects, expressing the opinions of their country. They had fifteen minutes to choose and agree on new subjects to talk about, but at the same time, it had to be linked to the main subject. All of them were voted.

The first subject was International Crisis of Education.

The countries had one minute and thirty seconds to express their opinions during thirty minutes.

This screen informed us about the time left to talk for the deleguates and the subject debated.

The second subject chosen was: Plan of Action to Slove Youth Unemployment. Each country had three minutes to talk and the subject lasted twenty minutes.

After an unmoderated caucus, the deleguates had the time to discuss about  new subjects. The chosen one was Labor Market. They discussed during twenty minutes with sixty seconds per country (which is really quick).

An other subject the deleguates debated on was International Program for Education and Training. It lasted twenty minutes with sixty seconds of talking per country.

and the last debate lasted eight minutes with sixty seconds per countries; it was on Promotion of Education to Children.

  We have found this conference really ineresting and informative about the problems that the countries are facing nowadays. We learned about their situation, their needs and their opinions about this year main topic: Youth, Unemployment, Criminality: How to Combat the Impoverishment of the Young Population?

We also wanted to thank Mr. Lévêque for telling us about this debate.
