Block 1 Roadmap
The TEIMUN Society has created a five-week programme in which we immerse you into the essentials of public speaking. Join us as each week we take on a new area of focus and challenge you to debate and engage in international relations through a Model UN lense
Session 1 –
How to speech
22 September 2022
Truly, what is a speech? We discuss the essential elements such as rhetorical skills, structure, vocabulary and more! Join us as we guide you through giving an effective and memorable speech.
Session 2 –
Body Language
29 September 2022
How does your body language affect the strength of your speech? We focus on gesticulating, stance and eye contract to help you give tour speech some extra flair.
Session 3 – Voice
6 October 2022
Your voice: your primary instrument to mesmerise your audience. Together we will explore how to control your tone, clarity and speed. Let’s explore how to use your voice to your advantage!
Session 4 – Content
13 October 2022
Now that you have mastered all other elements of being a master orator, it is time to get to the essential: the content! How do you structure a good speech? How do you effectively incorporate the different rhetorical appeals? This week we delve into MUN topics on how to deliver a diplomats’ speech!
Session 5 – Simulation
20 October 2022
In our final simulation, we put theory into practice. Come for a chance to engage, give a speech, negotiate and debate. Can you rise to the occassion and represent your position when you’re put in the spot?
What is the TEIMUN Society?
The TEIMUN Society allows Groningen-based students to learn about the rules of procedure, debate from the perspective of an assigned country, and delve deeper into the world of Model United Nations. Our trainings are given by the most experienced of MUNers of the TEIMUN family. It is a great opportunity to practice public speaking, negotiating, and policy-making for both beginner and experienced MUN delegates. Furthermore, you can become part of a TEIMUN delegation to MUN conferences all over Europe!
The Training Sessions
The set-up of the sessions is designed in such a way to create an informal but productive atmosphere to prepare you for participating in a TEIMUN delegation. The sessions will be taught and directed by former MUN delegates and with help from (former) TEIMUN Board members. There will be enough time for both debate and socialising. The sessions themselves are free of charge and are a great way to practice and learn very useful skills!
When and Where?
Time: Every Thursday, 19:00-21:00.
Our sessions will be held in the Harmony Building in Gronigen every week. The exact roomnumbers may vary, which is why our committee will be present at the main entrance of the Harmony Building to receive you and show you to the correct room. We’ll be the ones with the large TEIMUN banner!
