Directors Training Institute Level 1: New MUN Directors

Aimed at: Teachers and University age Students. 

The purpose of the Level One MUN Directors Institute is to help teachers understand the fundamentals of Model UN. It is highly recommended for Directors who are new to MUN or never had formal training in MUN. In this one day Institute, teachers will learn how to deliver a series of one-hour lessons and activities for teaching research, public speaking, resolution writing, and procedure to new delegates. On the second day, teachers will participate in an MUN debate and sit a certification exam, if desired. Teachers will receive lesson plans, training materials, and online videos that can be used to teach MUN. Teachers will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the one day Directors Training Institute, but may also sit a written exam that, if passed, will lead to full Level One Best Delegate Director Certification.

Directors Training Institute Level I is held twice a year; at THIMUN Qatar and at the Qatar Leadership conference. You must be pre-registered for this MUN professional development through a link sent to MUN directors in our mailing list. To join our mailing list, please email us a copy of this New School Registration Form to thimunqatar@qf.org.qa before the close of our conference deadlines (June 30 for QLC, September 24 for THIMUN Qatar). 

Directors Training Institute Level 2: Advancing Student Leadership

Aimed at: Experienced MUN Teachers and University age Student MUN leaders who are GRADUATES of the Level 1 program.

The purpose of the Level Two MUN Directors Training Institute is to help MUN Directors and University age MUN leaders with advanced MUN experience develop student leaders and deepen their conceptual understanding of THIMUN-style Model United Nations. Directors will cover topics such as how to design and promote educational values in MUN conferences, developing student officer accountability, how to evaluate position papers, resolutions and speeches, evaluating and designing conference standards, and organizing logistics and marketing for MUN conferences.

On the second day, teachers will participate in an MUN debate and sit a certification exam, if desired. Teachers will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the one day Institute, but may also elect to sit a written exam, which will lead to a full Level 2 Delegate Director Certification .

Directors Training Institute Level 2 is held once a year at THIMUN Qatar. You must be pre-registered for this MUN professional development through a link sent to MUN directors in our mailing list. To join our mailing list, please email us a copy of this New School Registration Form to thimunqatar@qf.org.qa before the close of our conference deadlines (June 30 for QLC, September 24 for THIMUN Qatar).
