2018-2019: Accomplishments

Establishment of The Club: February 2019

The MUN Workshop – 16-03-2019

Within a month of establishment, the CRESMUN club conducted its first ever workshop in the history of the institute. The workshop titled “ HOW TO MUN? “ was carried out in concurrence with Mr. Mohamed Adeep Ahmed from VITCMUN and Ms. Afra from MOPVMUN. The workshop was conducted to introduce MUN to the students, covering its workings and committees. This event engrossed participation of students from diverse departments and years.

A Preview of The Workshop

Position Paper Writing Practice

The delegates were given an agenda, assigned a committee and a choice of delegation to write a position paper .They were given a particular time duration for preparation and the position papers were collected on 26-07-2019. The outcome of this task was to enable the delegates to grasp the idea of presenting the position paper, an essential document submitted before the start of MUN.

Updation of Technical Information

In order for the delegates to explore the acquaintance of MUN, the social media platform of CRESMUN – Instagram page and WhatsApp group were updated with documents and videos related to MUN. This facilitates the students to be in regular touch with the art of MUN. It also enables interaction of student delegates with the office bearers in clarification of doubts. The updation would be done 5 days per week.

2019-2020: Chores Ahead

MUN Practice Sessions

Execution is as important as learning. Hence CRESMUN has decided to consolidate the knowledge gained by the delegates by conducting lunch hour MUN practice sessions at least 2 days per week. This mini practice sessions would permit the students to apply the theoretical knowledge and also enable the board members to pilot them onto the right track by correcting their mistakes.

INTRAMUN

The first ever Crescent Institute’s MUN event – INTRAMUN would be organized within a few weeks after regular practice sessions. MUN on a very small scale would be held and delegation only within the institute would be entertained as this serves as the final practice session for the students before venturing out into other reputed MUN communities.

The Real Time MUN

Finally, in the odd semester, the trained students would be sent out to participate in MUN activities held outside our Institute. Many colleges, universities and institutes would conduct MUN during the month of January. This participation would aid us in establishing Crescent MUN community beyond our compound.

Mock Parliament

CRESMUN being a simulation activity and the club being dedicated to mock events, another event called MOCK PARLIAMENT will also be conducted. Hear a joint sitting of both the houses (Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha) will be simulated.
