IMAGINARY COUNCILS: RAISING diplomacy in another world

In a MUN conference event, there are usually many councils that focus on common world problems such as world hunger or terrorism. Sometimes during registration, you may stumble across a peculiar council that may include its simple introduction that shows an imaginary or strange goal such as in stopping an impending intergalactic war or the council consists of imaginary characters such as wizards and mythical beings. This particular council would fall in the category of imaginary councils.

 

As implied by its name, imaginary councils are councils made in MUNs to give the participating delegate a sense of what it is like to dive in into a world of fantasy and only by raising diplomacy they may achieve the goal based on the agenda set by the council. Imaginary councils may help to provide a strong educational concept and a quality form of exercise for newcomers in the world of MUN.

 

The procedures carried out during the conference is similar to normal councils. Delegates acquire knowledge based on the imaginary world that the council was based on. Be cautious of the fantasy universe which that the council is based on to avoid further confusion throughout the whole council.

 

Instead of countries similar to in normal councils, delegates may be assigned to characters such as mythical beings or enhanced individuals so they may refer to themselves using pronouns, ”I” or ”myself” instead of saying the delegation of ‘insert character name’.
