《Discussion topics》

Through these discussions they gradually acquired the actual form of JMUN.  On March 5th, they had the final installment.  In the 5th meeting, they reviewed the activities so far and deepened the discussion about what an ideal international society should be.  As ambassadors of each country and representatives of the national interests, aiming at consensus formation during negotiations, they had the power to capture things from diverse positions and bring them to consensus while explaining their thoughts

[the participants’ comments]

＊At the time of entry, I was confident that I had the power to convince people. However, through this project I realized that my power was not understood at all.  Through this project, I decided to grow to become a leader who can convince people of his opinion, not just support them, by gaining the power to assert his own opinion.

＊Before applying, I was interested in the international community and the United Nations, so I’m glad that I understood the complexity of the international community and the structure of the United Nations.  I want to be good at bargaining by giving persuasive and convincing explanations.  I’ll try to understand current global issues and broaden my mind.
