Delegates often have experiences in many MUN procedures from various places around the world. Make no mistake, these are not your average MUN tips and tricks. There is a new wave of MUN proceedings that is gaining ground within the \u201cMUNiverse\u201d; and that is UN4MUN. Whether this is your first conference or you\u2019re a seasoned delegate, everyone can learn something trying out UN4MUN<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I bet many delegates have heard about the North American MUN and THIMUN, but have not really had an experience with UN4MUN. Well, I bet you, the next conference you may be attending could have its entire structure or portions of it inspired by UN4MUN rules of procedure (RoPs). UN4MUN is the United Nations own initiative started in 2009 (Global MUN) to help teach MUNs about how to apply RoPs that more closely simulate the UN. Considering that these rules are very different from what we have known in THIMUN and North American MUN, it means that no matter how experienced you are in MUN, you could find yourself in a whole new environment in a UN4MUN structured conference. So here I share with you tips to make you fit easily into that setting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">First, focus more on the cooperation than competition. In many MUNs we have known, there is so much emphasis placed on how well a delegate can argue or \u2018shoot other delegates\u2019 arguments down\u2019. There is a lot of energy put into how you can aggressively dominate others with your personality and there is so much importance attached to winning the competition of getting your ideas to dominate that of others. Well, in UN4MUN, it\u2019s really about how you are able to understand others and how you are able to build consensus. It is about how many people you can work together with to get to the resolution. The good delegates in these conferences are therefore not the ones who can \u201cwow\u201d everyone with the wonderful speeches; but those who are able to connect more with people informally and allow others to contribute to the debate. The good delegate is not the one whose draft resolution eventually gets considered; but the one who gives the ideas of others a place in the final draft.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Second, pay attention and understand the rules. They make you understand the conference and UN system better. For those who really want to understand the UN through MUN, this is the right approach. UN4MUN rules give a lot of power to delegates and create an effective structure on how things flow and get decided. It is more technical but also creates more harmony in proceedings. The UN4MUN rules do not place so much power in the hands of chairs or the dais. Hence, the delegate who know the rules are the ones who benefit more from the game. Note that I did not say \u201cwin the game\u201d because it is no meant to be a competition. It is therefore helpful that before you attend an UN4MUN conference, you sit with other members of your delegation to discuss how much you understand about the rules and how your delegation can help make the process smoother for the dais and other delegates. The delegates are the ultimate decision makers in UN4MUN; not the chairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Finally, be mindful that most of the action takes place during the conference. The objective of UN4MUN is to get the most out of collective action. Hence, the intense preparation that precedes other MUNs in order to steal the show or prove more knowledgeable is not much needed in UN4MUN. You need to understand your country\u2019s position, the RoP and keep an open mind to listen to the views of others. Getting a collectively owned resolution through a preferred consensus is actually what matters. And this depends on how much you put into working with others at the conference rather than preparing on practicing the best speech or draft resolution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>What Others Are Saying<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">IIGL Board of Directors Acknowledge Webmaster Pius Reis<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The 2015-2016 IIGL Board of Directors and Director Deb Rosen would like to acknowledge Pius Reis (Nigeria) for his ongoing support, dedication and expertise he shares with IIGL throughout the year, as he is our full time webmaster!

Have you noticed that every solution offered brings unintended negative consequences? With all the bright people in the world, why are we facing imminent social, economic, political and environmental collapse? Until we can determine that a proposed solution will have only life-enhancing outcomes, we will continue to grope in the dark, trying to solve problems with only limited understanding\u2014and the solutions offered by the limited, fear-based ego will never succeed. The root problem lies with the ego, a fiction made up by our minds assuming a separate self and a hostile world in which the ego needs to struggle and manipulate to survive. We cannot see reality from the stance of the ego; we can only see its projections based on the past. So our endless struggles will get us nowhere in trying to solve the world\u2019s problems, because we cannot get there that way. This book uses the spiritual technology of the Enneagram to illustrate the nine primary delusions of the ego, and shows how to use this tool to uncover the underlying virtues. Learn how to transcend the limited ego and move into a present-moment awareness of reality and the joy that it brings to you and to your world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(David is a long time IIGL contributor and mentor).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Students In Action<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">IIGL President Receives Education Award<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Felix Iziomoh ( flelixi@gmail.com), Executive Director International Centre for Leadership Development Nigeria receiving Certificate of Recognition from the Hon.

I am currently living in Abuja the capital city of Nigeria. A student by occupation, studying Economics in the University of Abuja, Gwagwalada, Abuja, I am Married. My hobby is football and reading. Also in me is a great passion for personal growth intellectually and economically with total yielding to the will and leading to God the Almighty Father.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I have a great interest in leadership and entrepreneurship skills of which I believe that, with it, the needed skills and requirement will lead me into the apex of global business enterprise. This idea conceived is what propelled me into going to study economics in my school of higher education and one of the main factors that lead me in applying for this Institute as a means to learn and acquire more knowledge about leadership.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It has being a child-hood dream for me to bring about perfection in any phase of life that I am involved. I was about twelve (12) years old when in my family I was able to bring about unity in separated and extended family members, and I am so happy to see that after a period of about Eighteen years (18) that oneness is still maintained within the family. This zeal did not end in my family as through it I have held much position in my Churches even as a teenager, which I am still involved in till now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The vision of my set goal is to use my position and resources to put a smile on the faces of the less privileged one\u2019s thereby balancing or bridging the gap between the bourgeois i.e. the high-class and those of low level income. The idea or dream becomes a most achieved because I often look back and remember that I am coming from not just a third world economy but also in the bracket of the low income family. A family where there was no one in the family that has above first school living certificate, qualification before me, it was a challenge to go beyond that level for me, but having determined to make a change, I also determined to have my B. Sc. By all means legally possible. This idea become more interesting to me and more achievable to me when I come across my favorite book of all time \u201cEat that Frog\u201d by Brain Tracy. This book broadens my whole view of phasing on ugly experience in life and the need to endure the hard time with the right attitude toward my potentials and goal. I also have passion for development and skill acquisition seminars which have also helped in shaping my reasoning and general overview of a given idea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To this end my greatest desire is not just one of the best in leadership and entrepreneurship but that I may be seen as a solution provider to challenges confronting man; someone who can give hope to the poor, shelter to the homeless, food to the hungry and much more. I pray that God will crown my little effort with success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Kagame Vincent Sebikari (Uganda)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I am Kagame Vincent Sebikari: Business Rescue Philosopher; Reformer; The Group\u2019s Chairman and Director: Sebco International Group LTD; Founder, Za Serikali Sirikari Foundation.

My ambition is to start up at least one company each year which directly addresses a need in the society which I live in. The enterprises I found or co-found should be profitable ventures which self-fund whilst attaining the set objectives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I was raised by a single mother. Her hard work and love was second to none and I am eternally grateful for all she did and continues to do for me. My childhood was spent in the high density ghetto suburb of Highfield, Harare, and from there I acquired a street wisdom which can never be taught but is a useful tool in the work environment and in the entrepreneurship world. It taught me to be aware of my surroundings, to improvise in situations which would otherwise seem hopeless and most importantly that the buck stops with me. When the spotlight is focused on you there are no excuses and there is no time to shift and offload responsibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">My high school education was at Monte Cassino Girls\u2019 High School in Macheke. 90% of my teenage life was spent sheltered in a Catholic Mission School which was strict on education and behaviour. Our motto was \u201cOra et Labora\u201d- work and pray and work and pray I did. I attained good academic results for both my O-Level and A-Level results- everyone at that school did because there was a 100% pass rate! More than the academic achievements however, I value the relationship I developed with God because of the environment I was. It\u2019s a relationship which needs to be constantly tended to, as any other worthwhile relationships, but I am comfortable in the foundation I set up at Monte Casino. Through the all the phases of life I go through I\u2019ve come to realise the most important aspect for me is my relationship with God and what I can do so that I may be worthy to praise His name in eternity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">After high school I was accepted at Air Zimbabwe (Pvt) Ltd to take part in the four year apprenticeship program for aircraft maintenance engineers. I was in a class of 40 and there were 8 females in total. It was a stimulating challenge to prove my abilities in a male dominated environment but that is what I did and I succeeded to pass the theoretical part with not less than 5 distinctions. Upon completion of the apprenticeship I immediately left Air Zimbabwe and got employed by a private aircraft maintenance company in Bournemouth, England. I worked there as an avionics engineer for three years before deciding to relocate back to Zimbabwe and start my own business. The decision was made because of the love of my country and wanting to spend my life there as well as an ambition to be my own boss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To date I have 2 registered companies in which I am the major shareholder- CJV Medical Supplies (Pvt) Ltd which distributes and wholesales medical equipment, and Kayla Tours, trading as MedTours Africa, which is a medical tourism facilitating company which handles all travel logistics for people travelling abroad for medical reasons. I also have a stake in a publishing company Saflag Dome where I sit as the chairperson of the board of directors.

We understand that money is energy and that to sustain and build IIGL we need a lot of people pouring their energy into this endeavor on a regular basis. We also know that not everyone can afford to commit $22 a month \u2013 especially our students, who live in countries with economies in which this amount can be equal to a weeks\u2019 salary. So we are offering two options for those who wish to become a part of the Dream Team. One can commit to a $22 a month contribution or to spending 22 seconds each day holding the vision of IIGL becoming financially sustainable by the end of 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Will you join the Dream Team and help us create an energetic foundation to support the transformational work of IIGL? You can really make a difference in the world by making a modest contribution of time or money. To make the $22 a month commitment or a one time donation, click the link below. To become a member of the Dream Team 22 by committing 22 second a day to help us hold the vision, contact Deb for details: drosen2@wi.rr.com<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Checks on US banks, payable to the International Institute For Global Leadership, can be mailed to IIGL, 11537 N.
