Model UN Strategy: How to Give the Perfect Opening Speech

Public speaking is a huge part of Model United Nations - but even experienced delegates can have a tough time with it! Using the MUN Institute Hook, Point, Action framework (HPA), you can give super effective speeches like a pro.

    Honorable chair, esteemed delegates, and distinguished guests The COVID-19 pandemic has brought to light an urgent need to address the escalating mental health crisis, as individuals worldwide grapple with unprecedented stress, isolation, and uncertainty. Kenya has focused on the need for a comprehensive approach to address the mental health crisis during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes increasing awareness and access to mental health services, integrating mental health care into primary healthcare, and implementing community-based interventions. Kenya also emphasizes the importance of policy reforms and investment in mental health infrastructure and human resources to meet the growing demand for support. Addressing these challenges holistically can help mitigate the long-term impact of the pandemic on the population's mental well-being. Kenya wants the UN to support increased funding, capacity building, and policy reforms for comprehensive and accessible mental health care, especially in low- and middle-income countries, to address the mental health crisis during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. topic: Addressing the mental health crisis during and after the COVID-19 pandemic in a sentence. i will be a delegate for Kenya plz someone reply if it's good for opening speech or not

I won an award as well..my chairs were pretty chill and they were my seniors, so I could interact with them easily, during lunch and recess we could have fun but we had to be serious during debate sessions. My advice is, JUST SPEAK UP. As my chairs repeated multiple times, it doesn't matter what you have to speak about, make sure to voice your opinion and if you can, debate with other delegates instead of going on and on about topics that in no way matter to other delegates or specifically to any moderated caucus.

    Ik this is a little late, but for the future and all - u can also just express your country's views on the topic based on finlands alliances. like if finland and rusia have an alliance, u would take russia's side. also, a very important point in MUN is to speak well, and back up the facts by emotion to convince delegates. delegates with a similar stance will agree with you and may even help you out. those are the countries u want to form ur resolutions with. always start with a super controversial speech to get the chair to notice ubut be ready to expect a lot of questions form not only other delegates, but even the chair. be one of the first to raise ur placards, although dont always raise your placard.( againg the chair will notice you) and write a butt load of communiques(again the chair will notice you). HOPE YOU FOUND THIS HELPFUL :)
