What a Blast! Our 2nd MUN Workshop with SLMUN Was a Huge Success!
Hey future diplomats and public speakers! If you're reading this, you're probably curious about what goes down in the world of Model United Nations, or maybe you've heard whispers about our awesome club here at St. Sebastian's College. Well, let me tell you, things are heating up at SSCMUN, and our latest workshop on May 24th was proof of that!
Another Home Run: Our Second Workshop!
You know, sometimes the second time's the charm, and in our case, it was a grand slam! This wasn't our first rodeo when it came to hosting MUN workshops; we've already got one under our belt. But this second one? It was even bigger and better, proving that SSCMUN is all about learning, growing, and having a seriously good time while we're at it. It's so exciting to see how far we've come and how much enthusiasm there is for MUN right here in our school.
SLMUN in the House!
So, what made this workshop extra special? We had the incredible privilege of having a team from SLMUN (Sri Lanka Model United Nations) join us! These aren't just any MUN enthusiasts; they're the real deal, and they absolutely rocked it. Imagine this: a fantastic group of about 12 members from SLMUN dedicated their time to come and share their wisdom with us.
And here's the cool part – they didn't just come from around Colombo. We had SLMUN representatives traveling from different corners of the island, some even from outside the bustling city, just to be with us. How awesome is that? It just goes to show the passion and commitment that runs through the MUN community, and we were super lucky to have them right here at St. Sebastian's College. Their presence really added a fantastic vibe to the whole day, and we're incredibly grateful for their support.
Helpful, Fun, and Totally Engaging!
Now, let's talk about the workshop itself. If you've ever thought MUN might be a bit dry or all about serious speeches, think again! Our goal was to make this workshop helpful, fun, and super engaging, and honestly, it exceeded all expectations.
The SLMUN team brought their A-game, guiding us through everything from the basics of resolution writing to the art of confident public speaking and negotiation. They didn't just lecture; they made us do. We got to practice our lobbying skills, debate hot topics, and even role-play real-life UN scenarios. It was incredibly hands-on, which is the best way to learn!
There were so many "aha!" moments as new members (and even some of us who've been around a bit!) grasped complex concepts in a really easy-to-understand way. But more than just learning, there was so much laughter, collaboration, and a real sense of camaraderie in the room. You could feel the energy as everyone got into character and tried their hand at being a delegate. It truly showed that MUN isn't just about serious debates; it's also about building friendships, thinking on your feet, and having a lot of fun while doing it.
