Committee Introductions

Welcome to UNESCO! We are excited to see everyone very, very soon and are looking forward to hearing all the amazing solutions. Before we get into conference logistics and guidance, we would like to take a moment to introduce ourselves.  Hello everyone! My name is Clara Bardeen (she/her) and I am going to be your head chair for UNESCO 72. Currently, I am a second-year majoring in Microbial Biology with a minor in Chemistry.

Welcome Post + Expectations

Hi delegates! We are so excited to welcome you to BMUN 72 and the UNESCO committee. In this committee, you will be attempting to identify the underlying causes of major issues and conflicts. In identifying these causes I hope to see solutions that both acknowledge country prejudice and work towards lessening global strife. Our first topic addresses Art and Entertainment as Weapons of War. Our second topic addresses Bioterrorism in the Era of Climate Change. This blog will act as our committee’s more informal avenue for discussion and communication before the conference– and we’d love to see you interact with it!

You can post comments on posts that we make and write about literally anything relevant to the topics at hand! For example, if you’ve found follow-up content or researc...

Position Paper Tips

  Hi delegates! Just wanted to check in and offer a bit more guidance on your position papers. As a reminder, UNESCO will be using standard Position Paper format detailed on our committee website which is https://www.bmun.org/committees/unesco. Besides the general format, we wanted to offer some tips on the research process and the formation of your paper.  Research The biggest favor you can do for yourself in the writing process is to really apply time and effort into understanding the topics beforehand. Luckily, your generous dais has written the key to beginning this process: your synopsis! Not only do we recommend reading this synopsis, but we hope that you will interact with it. Ask questions, make connections, reflect on what you learned. Familiarizing yourself with the synopsis is the key to a smooth research experience.  After reading the synopsis, don’t stop there! This piece is just a stepping stone for the research we hope you will complete. Maybe read some add...
