Hey everyone and welcome or welcome back to another video on the channel So in today's video we are going to talk about how to NUN So in the next 2-3 months, many universities are going to conduct NUNs My network is full of NUNs So I thought let's go ahead and let's get started. Now the question arises that who am I to tell you what to do and what not to do. So for that you can go on to my Instagram highlights and you can judge on your own basis.
So, moving on, in today's video we are going to talk about the top 5 most important things that are required in order to get an award in ME. The first thing that comes to mind is your speeches. I mean, no matter how much people say, no matter how much the executive board says that your speeches don't matter and all their jazz, it's all Your speeches are the most important in any ME. Now, Robert Greene and Donald Peterson both say this, always say things which are absolutely necessary.
And I do not find any other example than an MUN committee where you have to follow this particular rule by heart And I mean to say this You have 60-90 seconds of time to say your entire speech I write my speeches word by word and I read them 4 times before I speak If I have a GSL or ModFab topic which I have prepared from the beginning I make sure that that particular piece of speech is is absolutely gold mined. If you want to know how to make a good speech for an NUR, just comment down speech and I'll make a video on it. In that particular video, we will analyze my previous speeches that got me or bagged me a beating. So the second and very important thing that we call is argumentation.
Now argumentation in an NUR can serve you really really well if you are able to form good arguments in the committee right on the spot. Now I believe that to get this thing you need some experience. But even if you are a first timer or a beginner in the committee, you know, like you can always have it with number one, very, very good research on the agenda, as well as the different topics that are being decided along with your exceptionally good listening skills.
Now these both things combined can actually serve a great argument for you in the committee. All the experience delegates do the same thing. They also listen to the other delegates, they write down what are the important points that they had mentioned in their speeches.
They with their own knowledge and their research on spot and they form their own arguments right in the committee. Now generally in meetings what happens is that if the committee is going on a little different, means there are no arguments, counter arguments, then generally what happens is executive board decides that they will do a round robin type session or they will involve a crisis or they will give everyone a chance to speak together. So these are the things in which you can stand out if you have good argumentation skills anyways.
And lastly or a very important thing is that you can also have a conversation with the The next thing that comes in this scenario is the adaptation in the committee. Now why do I say this? No matter how well you are delegated, how many awards you have taken, how well you are delegated, but you cannot guarantee in your next conference, you cannot guarantee that you are going to 100% win that conference.
You can ask any experienced delegate that they cannot guarantee that I will break in the next NUM or I will bring BD in the next NUM. Because we understand the fact that every NUM is different and there are many different NUMs. Multiple number of factors that can affect the result of a committee. Got it?
No matter whatever your style of doing committee is, it is always a better option to adapt according to the committee requirements. Now, I'll give you an example. When I was doing Revention University MUN back in December last year, so my particular style of doing a committee is more of an argument delivery kind of a thing.
Like, I want there to be polarization in the committee and then we fight and argue among ourselves. So, that happens better than me. That's my comfortable environment, right?
But in Revenchal University, I was in SOCOM committee. So SOCOM is more of a suggestion based committee. Which means that you have to give suggestions and solutions towards a particular agenda.
Adding on to that, in that particular committee, we had some of the best delegates from West Bengal circuit. So that actually added a lot more to the competitive edge of the committee. Arya and me was a three day conference.
First day I observed what's going on there, what type of delegates have come, what's there. And on the second day, I adapted which means that on second day I changed my strategy I started out to give more number of solutions more number of facts and figures in my speeches rather than countering another delegate like there was a situation where I had to counter there was a crisis that was also involved in the committee so that was like my comfort zone so that actually added on to the whole scenario but you understand the point right adapting to a committee is absolutely necessary confidence. Not confidence.
A very important factor in an MUN is you being overconfident or being underconfident. Any of these two scenarios can actually turn against you in the committee and can make you fall down in the whole scenario, right? So you have to make sure that you maintain the right amount and appropriate amount of confidence in your speeches as well as your arguments. Back in the day when I started, I actually started to gain confidence, gain my public speaking skills. Those were the things that is why I started out and I genuinely believe...
that NUANCE can actually help you to build confidence not only just in terms of your ability to speak in a room full of other delegates but also to form better arguments and put your point of views in the committee in the best ways possible. So confidence is a very important thing in the entire committee. You have to have a very controlled amount of confidence.
I have seen a lot of people in committees who are in a state of overconfidence. I mean they don't even know their name in the board list. So this also happens. You are in a state of delusion.
that you think that the entire committee is in our favour but it is not like that because everyone's arguments can be baseless if you are over confident in the committee. But one thing that I would definitely agree on is that right amount of confidence or let's say over confidence can actually help you out in lobbying around with other delegates in the committee. Now I have seen this a lot that the person who speaks a lot in the committee, people tend to listen to them a lot without understanding that maybe his or her arguments are completely baseless in nature but people still listen to them.
because he or she is continuously speaking. So that is a counter scenario that you can actually observe in the committee itself. That happens too, we see that too.
But ultimately, all these things come boiled down to just good arguments, good committee, good debate and all that. Cheers! The last but not the least point of the entire video is learnings. When I started doing the interview, I didn't even have an idea about the awards given in the committee.
I didn't even know the hierarchy of the award. The only reason why I started was to actually understand the hierarchy of the award. I generally gain knowledge and understand how an AVM really works out. The new delegates coming in, especially in this circuit, in our circuit, or in any other circuit outside, they have become very award specific.
They have, I mean, they have different... that if you don't get an award in the committee then it's a waste. It's not like that at all. When I started my committee, I didn't get any in the first 3-4 annuities. I only got to know about hierarchy when I started getting awards.
I was more like, it always feels good to get an award. Primarily, the whole focus of a committee is to let you guys increase up your knowledge on a particular agenda and think beyond what you are already studying in your schools and colleges. An award is always a byproduct of a... If you get the byproduct well and good, if you do not, you get a lots and lots of funding from the committee. The most important advantage of MUN is that your experience becomes very strong, your friends become friends, your network becomes very strong.
If you conveniently enter in any circuit, you have a very strong network that can actually serve you well later in life. So now you make sure that you learn really well in a committee and just do not run after an award. So with this, we actually end up the video right here.
And if you agree or disagree to. you can always comment down in the whole point of view, your point of view on MUNs and everything down in the comment section. And with this, I'm also planning to come up with the MUN series.
If you guys showed good support, we will be going ahead with an MUN. series right here on this particular channel. So make sure that you subscribe for it in order to get all sorts of updates and everything related to it. So till then take very good care of yourselves. I'll see you in the next video.
Bye.
