NMUN-Delegations

Since 2002, the Club of Hohenheim has been represented by its delegation at the National Model United Nations in New York every year, if it took place.

The 2022 Delegation represents the Congo

– A review of last year's Faculty Advisors

In October 2021, we started our project. Every Monday evening, we met alternately online and in-person. In January, we got together in a preparatory hut weekend in the Black Forest – giving us the perfect opportunity to prepare intensively for the conference. The participants learned how to discuss constructively as Congolese diplomats and practiced giving political speeches in English. Furthermore, the preparation included intensive research on the social, economic, and environmental positions of the Republic of the Congo, the results of which were put down in position papers and sent to the NMUN conference organizers in New York City.

Our journey started on the 26th of March 2022, in a beautiful hostel on Wall Street, New York City. We awaited a study week packed with many unique and exciting visits to several permanent missions to the UN. On the 4th of April 2022, the time had finally come. Our 16 delegates could hardly wait to present what they had learned in the weekly preparation sessions. After the completion of the project, we can say: The effort has paid off. The study week and the participation in the National Model United Nations 2022 were unforgettable. It exceeded all our expectations. We, the project leaders, as well as the participants surpassed ourselves in professional terms and managed to receive outstanding results. Three Outstanding Position Paper Awards from our delegates and recognition as an Honourable Mention Delegation were awarded to our Delegation on top of an already successful project.

In the beginning, we were united mainly by our interest in international politics. Towards the end, we were united by our shared experiences, memories, and friendships that have been built during our journey. Concluding, we, the project leaders, are more than satisfied with the outcome of the simulation and are very proud to have supervised such a committed and hard-working group of students.
