MUN for the Future Bankers

Hello!

So here I am again! End up putting some ideas out to this blog while I actually got another necessary thing to do like, perhaps, wrapping up my bachelor thesis. Duh.

Forget about it for a while.

Hey! Ya ya, forget about me! You've been forgotten about me like the whole in a while time, buddy!
Regards, Your Thesis.

Anyway. I got this job being a Campus Coordinator of Jakarta Model United Nations 2012 for my institution, Indonesia Banking School.

Basically, what I'm doing is to market this international event to my colleagues and reap as much participants as I could. But honestly, what people said and what I have heard all this time turn up correct: theories would never 100% applied practically. I've done this and that, spoken here and there but really, to market MUN to all my future-banker fellas is not an easy stuff.

First, Indonesia Banking School is not a university. It only consists of small numbers of students compared to other uni. IBS, as its name, is a banking school (economics), with only two study focuses: Management and Accounting. IBS accepts only approximately 150-200 students per year, very often below 150 accepted students but never over 200 accepted students per year. And this small number, ugh, frankly speaking, only a small number of students too who really open their mind to try something really new out of economics.

Secondly, IBS is soooooo banking! Workshops, seminars, internships, blalala is always about banking and other financial services. If it's not about banking, then it's about marketing. And if it's not about both, then it's about auditing.

In my case right now, JMUN is a veeeerrrrryyyyy new stuff for my colleagues. Whenever I ask them to join this event, they like "ini apaan fan?" or "JMUN apaan sih kak?" or "ngaruh ke nilai?" or simply "oh". Phew, really need an extra energy.

So here's my extra energy given, now I already have some colleagues who really are interested to join JMUN and experience something new. After this mid test, these two weeks, they'll be applying for JMUN officially and welcoming themselves to try something out of the box. Wait for another future-bankers to apply, hey committee! ;)

Here is briefly about JMUN from its site:

Jakarta Model United Nations (JMUN) is the first-ever international Model United Nations (MUN) in Indonesia which was held by ISAFIS (Indonesian Students Association for International Studies) in 2011. MUN is a simulation of United Nations conference that is often held abroad and attracts local and foreigner students world wide.

JMUN offers a unique opportunity to experience the challenges of international negotiation and diplomacy. The participants (hereinafter referred as delegates), will play a role as the representative of member counties of United Nations. Throughout the conference, delegates will gain insight into the workings of the United Nations by actively participating in the resolution of important global issues.

This year, under the theme “Creating Sustainable Development through Young Generations’ Action”, there will be more than 200 delegates worldwide who will be positioned into four committees in JMUN 2012. They are: United Nations-General Assembly (UN-GA), United Nations-Security Council (UN-SC), United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and Special Agency (European Union/EU). The delegates will discuss a certain problem regarding the topic of their committee and respond to the problem according to the stance and views of the country they represent.
