Tips for Solutions

 Hi delegates!


As BMUN grows nearer, I wanted to offer some advice on your solutions and what our dais expects for committee! 


Before diving into the different types of solutions we are hoping to see in committee, I wanted to take this opportunity to revisit our learning goals and expectations for research in hopes that your solutions end up addressing these key points:

  1. What must happen before the NUG can confidently and effectively lead Myanmar?

  2. What does democracy look like, and how is it created?

  3. How can Myanmar move forward while working with and allowing greater ethnic representation?

  4. What does a path for peace look like between the Tatmadaw and the NUG?


Please keep these learning goals in mind when forming solutions! They are key points we want you to address! 


Need stepping off points to start thinking about solutions? Start at the synopsis! As you read, highlight key issues that need to be addressed as well as ways they have been addressed in the past. From here you can think critically about what has been successful and what you can reform. Additionally, the ‘Questions to Consider’ section is a GREAT way to jumpstart your solutions outline… happy writing! Our synopsis is linked here ([MYANMAR]+Topic+Synopsis+UPDATED.pdf (squarespace.com)) if you want to check that out now.


We know these topics can seem overwhelming at times and that it may be difficult to think of where to begin. With this in mind, we wanted to offer a few suggestions on where to start with solutions and what we think would be great points to include:

  1. Analyze the current state of military conflicts between the NUG and Tatmadaw and devise strategies to effectively control or take territory

  2. Craft effective policy and legislation that establishes a valid, sustainable democracy

  3. Improve the economy and national infrastructure and create a path to support its citizens

  4. Bolster international relations effectively to support the economy and legitimacy of a new government


We hope this has offered a bit more clarity on process, and as always, feel free to comment or reach out to myanmar72@bmun.org anytime!


Best,

Eric Ho

Head Chair of MYANMAR, BMUN 72

VC Introduction: Tanirika

 Hello! My name is Tanirika Singh and I am so excited to be on the dais of the Myanmar committee this year!  I'm currently a senior majoring Molecular & Cellular Biology with a concentration in Neurobiology. Despite having spent 7 years now being involved in MUN, every year brings its own excitement and I'm really excited to meet you all very soon! Beyond BMUN, I'm a researcher in the School of Optometry on campus and also spend time volunteering at the local hospital with patients. In my down time, I love spending time with my friends exploring new places to eat in the Bay, history museums to visit, and hikes to bookmark, and following F1 racing.   I can't wait to meet you all very soon! Having once been a delegate here at BMUN and now chairing, this conference is a full-circle moment for me. I genuinely look forward to hearing all of your ideas and hope to make this committee a memorable experience for you all! In the meantime, most definitely do not hesitate t...

Speech Content & Public Speaking Tips!

 Hi Delegates! As BMUN is just around the corner, I wanted to provide you all with some tips on how to deliver great speeches during conference weekend and beyond!  When it comes to the content of your speeches, here's a few suggestions we hope will be helpful:  Find a balance between too vague versus too specific in your speeches. Many times delegates run into the problem of the former where they will present ideas that are not really contributing much substance to the discussion at hand because of how general they are. So include details in your speeches so they are a bit more grounded and reflect the effort you've put into coming up with the ideas within your speech. However, at the same time you want to make sure you're not too specific to the point where no one is able to follow the content of your speech.  It is always a great idea if you can, to refer to other delegates/their ideas to show you're an active listener and able to reflect (whether in agreement or ...
