Another historic Model United Nations

225-450: A complex of one kindergarten, one elementary school and a "split" (or dual) high school. For admission to kindergarten and elementary school, both following the German educational system, prospective pupils need to have achieved a reasonable level of competence in German for their age in order to be able to follow classes taught exclusively in German. For them to be admitted, they thus have to sit

300-673: A conference, topics are chosen for each committee. Typically, research and background guides are made available by the organizers of a conference. Based on these guides, delegates of each committee are often expected to research and formulate a position for the country or group they represent, and submit a position paper. The purpose of writing a position paper is to familiarize delegates with the substantial topics of debate, encourage academic research and writing, and to enable substantial preparation for conferences. In order to maintain decorum , most Model UN committees use parliamentary procedures derived from Robert's Rules of Order . In addition,

375-503: A crisis staff composed of a crisis director, assistant director, and crisis staffers. These members are responsible for facilitating the back-room portion of a committee. Traditionally, English has been the official and working language of most conferences. However, as Model UN has become more popular around the world, and as conferences in countries such as the United States have sought to appeal to underrepresented minorities (such as

450-552: A group of administrators known as the secretariat. A secretariat is headed by a Secretary-General . Other members of the secretariat include the Director-General , Under-Secretaries-General and President of General Assembly. Each committee usually has a dais that is composed of a chair (also known as moderator or director), one or more vice-chairs and a team of note-passers (also known as pages, runners, security, admins, or similar). In crisis committees, there can also be

525-498: A list of speakers and the delegates follow the order written on the 'speaker list'. Delegates may be added to the speaker list by raising their placards or sending a note to the chair. During this time, delegates talk to the entire committee. They make speeches , answer questions, and debate on resolutions and amendments. If there are no other motions, the committee goes back to the speaker list by default. Formal/Informal debate includes both moderated and unmoderated caucuses. Caucus

600-408: A motion is necessary to go into a moderated caucus. There is a comparatively shorter time limit per speech. In an unmoderated caucus, the delegates informally meet with other delegates and the staff for discussions. A resolution is a legal document that expresses the general opinion of the committee. Once passed it can be seen as a list of actions that your committee recommends. Resolutions are

675-548: A one-size-fits-all model or splitting into sections, the school offers different "language profiles" for different students, allowing students to choose between curricula with a low (1), medium (2) or high (E) number of lessons taught in Greek. Those choosing the latter (E), will still have the option of sitting Panhellenic (Greek university entry) examinations. The first students to study under this new system will enter 5th and 6th grade in 2015/16 and graduate in 2020/21. Teaching staff at

The couple had three children. Around the same time, he met Heinrich Schliemann , who persuaded him to join his archaeological expedition. In 1882, Dörpfeld together with a team of archeologists joined Schliemann, who was then excavating Troy . The two eventually became good friends and continued their collaboration on other projects as well. They excavated in Tiryns , from 1884 to 1885, and at Troy again from 1888 to 1890. Dörpfeld also excavated at

900-553: A renewed public interest in the culture and the mythology of Ancient Greece . He was born in Barmen , Rhenish Prussia , the son of Christine and Friedrich Wilhelm Dörpfeld . His father, a convinced Evangelist Christian and a famous pedagogue , tried to bestow deep religious sentiment to his family so Dörpfeld attended religious schools, where he received basic education in Latin and Greek . He graduated from Barmer High School in 1872,

975-571: A series of student-led Model League of Nations simulations. The first simulations were called "international assemblies", the first of which was held at University of Oxford in November 1921, with the potential first ever simulation being on 12 November 1921. Following several simulations in Oxford, Mir Mahmood, the president of the first Oxford International Assembly, traveled to Harvard University in 1922, to help spread this idea further. He advocated for

1050-545: A short test and/or are interviewed by the school principal to be admitted. This is to ensure they can easily follow lessons, which are held almost exclusively in German, with the exceptions of the following subjects: English Language, Greek Language and (Greek Orthodox) Religion. After their final year, students receive the German high school diploma ( Abitur ), formally "Allgemeine Hochschulreife" or "Reifeprüfung", and consequently often go on to study in Germany. The Greek section of

High school, or Gymnasium, at the DSA/ΓΣΑ is split, offering students a choice between the German and Greek section of the school: The German section follows a form of the German educational system optimised for German schools abroad, and pupils with no prior secondary education in Germany, at the DSA/ΓΣΑ itself, or at another German school sit

1200-651: A single degree, specially designed for German Schools abroad, the German International Abitur Examination (Deutsche Internationale Abiturprüfung, DIAP). Students are admitted to high school either after 4th grade (finishing German elementary school), or, having finished a Greek elementary school, after 6th grade; the latter are required to sit written and possibly oral entry examinations focused on (German) language competence. Lessons are held in both Greek and German (apart from foreign-language lessons English and French) for all students. However, instead of

1275-621: A transition phase towards a unitary high school system. Upholding the tradition of an environment friendly school, the German School of Athens had Greece's largest solar roof installed before the 2004 Olympic Games . The project was backed by German Federal Ministry of Economics and Labor (BMWA), the German Energy Agency and the Greek-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The term "German School of Athens" really describes

1350-488: A vote in order to pass; the number of votes required to pass these motions works according to a Quorum – this is the minimum number of delegates required to make decisions in a committee. The motions used at any given time in a Model UN committee change, according to where the committee is with the flow of debate. Most MUN committees follow a flow of debate. This starts with a speakers list, followed by formal/informal debate and then voting procedure. A Dais will maintain

1425-526: Is a specialized form of Model UN where participants can emulate a variety of entities, from a board of directors to historical figures. Crisis committees tend to be much smaller in size than their classic counterparts, and revolve around a quickly-developing series of events known as a "crisis." Delegates are assigned positions, and must create directives consisting purely of operative actions this means that rather than solving problems with Resolutions, delegates pass Directives. While delegates are working to solve

1500-426: Is an important way to show respect for the nation, organization, or individual one is representing, as well as for the rest of one's committee. Whilst formal western business attire is standard, there are still many MUNs where it is common for delegates to wear the traditional clothes of the nation they represent, this is to ensure a diverse and unique representation of culture and a fun environment. Ultimately dress code

1575-400: Is an opportunity to discuss policy ideas. A Moderated Caucus is more formal and is run by the committee chair, an Unmoderated caucus is a time where delegates move around the room and have a more informal discussion on the topic. In a moderated or unmoderated caucus, the committee goes into a recess and the rules of procedure are suspended. Anyone may speak if recognized by the chair. A vote on

1650-490: Is formal. The German School of Athens has at various times had between one and three drama groups staging plays in both the Greek, German and English language. These are classified as extracurricular activities or AGs (short for the German term "Arbeitsgemeinschaften"). While the English- and German language drama groups have been led by different members of the teaching staff over the years, and were periodically not offered as AGs,

1725-585: Is fully dependent on what the specific conference has listed out in its rules and regulations. Model United Nations conferences regularly simulate the bodies of the United Nations, the European Union , government cabinets , regional bodies such as ASEAN , as well as corporate boards , NGOs or so-called Press Corps . Idiosyncrasies and fictional committees also exist. Some examples for fantasy and fictional committees include Ministry of Magic and Lord of

1800-416: Is made, high school is currently split into a German section (with students eventually graduating with the German high school diploma) and a Greek section (with students graduating with German and optionally an additional Greek high school diploma). Pupils take entry exams in order to become students of the latter section so the school is considered highly selective. However, the school is currently undergoing

1875-570: Is practiced in Bangladesh since 2002, when the Model United Nations on Combating Terrorism – Bangladesh Model United Nations first took place. Since then, plenty of Model United Nations conferences have been held in the country. But the concept of MUN became a popular one in Bangladesh from 2013. MUN in Bangladesh grew rapidly after the formation of the first university based MUN club of

1950-402: Is the "midnight crisis" where delegates attend a committee session at night to respond to an emergency situation. There also may be crisis committees that interact with each other, where resolutions that are written impact debate in other committees. Model United Nations conferences are usually organized by high school clubs or college clubs. Although Model United Nations originated in

He continued excavations at Pergamon (1900–1913, with Alexander Conze ) and in 1931 in the Agora of Athens . In 1886, Dörpfeld founded the German School of Athens , which was later named after him, as the Dörpfeld Gymnasium. From 1887 to 1912, he was the director of the German Archaeological Institute at Athens . He published, in 1896, Das griechische Theater ,

However, this is still not a mainstream phenomenon, especially in the United States, where most bilingual or Spanish language committees are found only at conferences hosted in Puerto Rico or the South West . Nearly all Model United Nations conferences require delegates to wear Western business attire . Dressing professionally

In 1913 Döperfield became a signatary of the Manifesto of the Ninety-Three , a manifesto in which 93 prominent academic figures in Germany endorsed the early German military action of World War 1 . It is to be noted that many of the signatories would later express regret in the signing of said document. Dörpfeld died in 1940 on

2325-445: The "split" high school follows the Greek educational system, allowing students to sit for Greek university entrance exams (Panhellenics) and gain their Greek high school diploma ( Apolytirion ) while simultaneously preparing students for a form of the German high school diploma examinations formally known as "Ergänzungsprüfung", allowing them easy entry into German universities. Pupils have to take entry exams in order to become students of

The German School of Athens is known for its DSAMUN (Deutsche Schule Athen Model United Nations ) [1] conference. The conference is affiliated by THIMUN (The Hague International Model United Nations) and this makes DSAMUN conference one of

2625-653: The DSAMUN conference are asked to prepare drafts resolutions and policy statements on various issues (from the view of the country they represent) and learn to negotiate and debate in a formal way. Foreign students, who attend DSAMUN, have the opportunity to visit Plaka , the National Museum, the Acropolis and other places of interest in Athens . In addition, excursions to Epidaurus and Nafplion are organized. The Dörpfeldianer Ball for graduates takes place every two years at

In the year 2010 the group celebrated its 30th anniversary , a time during which it had been awarded many times by theatre organisations in Greece. Most of the props and stage sets for the various plays are provided by the school's art department, particularly

2775-424: The Greek section of Gymnasium. Lessons are held in both Greek and German. This duality of the separate sections has proven administratively challenging over the years. Therefore, the school is currently (2015/16) undergoing a transition phase towards a unitary high school system known as an "Integrierte Begegnungsschule", or "integrated communal school". Under this new regulation all high school students study towards

2850-582: The Group. The three teachers collaborate on stage with many students, who are either musicians or singers and they perform in front of the whole school more than 5 times per year. The group's best moment so far was the performance at Greek Music House (Megaro Mousikis) in 2005 for the celebration of the School's 110th birthday. Extracurricular activities offered at the DSA/ΓΣΑ include: Wilhelm D%C3%B6rpfeld Wilhelm Dörpfeld (26 December 1853 – 25 April 1940)

3150-524: The Rings . An example for such a special committee that does not have a parallel in the actual United Nations which deals with a crisis is known as a 'Crisis Committee.' In this committee, a crisis is given to a team of students and the teams must come up with solutions. The Crisis Committee traditionally focuses on a single historical event, but recently current and future events have been used as well. The event may be fictional or non-fictional . Crisis

3225-405: The United Nations has spearheaded efforts to introduce new Model UN rules of procedure that are more closely aligned with those used by the actual UN. Since there is no governing body for Model UN, each conference differs in their rules of procedure. The following rules of procedure apply to general MUNs but may not apply to every MUN: Points and Motions outline how topics are prioritized,

3300-441: The United States, MUN clubs and conferences are not isolated to that country. Rather, like the actual UN, model UN is found in countries around the globe. Because Model UN is decentralized and has grown autonomously around the world, there are significant differences in how MUN is done between regions.

Dörpfeld compared several passages from the Odyssey to the actual geographical location of Lefkada, and he concluded that it must be the Homeric Ithaca. He was especially convinced by the passage: Lefkada is connected today to Mainland Greece by a causeway and floating bridge, but in ancient times, it was connected to

3450-528: The best conferences in the World. The DSAMUN is a three-day-long simulation of the work of the United Nations and takes place at the GSA campus. It is designed for secondary school students and is intended to provide an occasion for the participants to discuss world issues. The conference gives them the opportunity to experience the work of the United Nations and to get to know the world of diplomacy . The delegates at

3525-468: The campus. The three oldest conferences in the world that are still active today were established in the early 1950s. They are Berkeley Model United Nations (BMUN) at Berkeley (1952) Harvard Model United Nations (HMUN) at Harvard (1953) and Model United Nations of the Far West (MUNFW), which has held college-level conferences since 1951. The first was held at Stanford University , where Ralph Bunche

Directives can either be written by an individual, several individuals working together, or the whole committee. Staffers can update crisis events based partly on a preset direction and partly on interaction from delegates and committees. Crisis committees are also subject to more variation in rules and experimentation than regular committees. One relatively common variant

Model United Nations first came to mainland China in 1995, when the China Foreign Affairs University held the country's first collegiate model United Nations conferences. Arriving in mainland Chinese high schools in 2005, Model UN expanded rapidly. Peking University (PKU) students, after attending Harvard 's HMUN , organized

3750-465: The crisis at hand through directives, they are also often tasked with individual objectives that can be achieved with the submission of crisis notes. Delegates may sometimes find out what other committee members have been doing through crisis updates. Unlike regular committees, crisis committees have two distinct forums: the in-room and the out-room (also known as the front-room and the back-room, respectively). The in-room consists of delegate activity in

3825-677: The end of a conference, delegates will vote on written policies (called draft resolutions), with the goal of passing them with a majority vote. The best-performing delegates in each committee, as well as delegations, are occasionally recognized with awards. MUN organizations have conferences that accommodate students, from elementary school, all the way to college or university levels. Most conferences will often cater to just one of these three levels. Delegates usually attend conferences together, as delegations sent by their respective school or university's Model UN clubs, though some delegates attend conferences independently. Model United Nations began as

The group uncovered, among other artifacts, an intact statue of Hermes by Praxiteles . The excavations revived the memory of the ancient Olympic Games and contributed toward the establishment of the modern Olympic Games , in 1896. After his return from Olympia, Dörpfeld intended to take his architectural exam and settle down in Berlin. He needed

3975-1007: The first national model UN conference for high school students in mainland China. PKU's conference was initially backed by UNA-USA , however support was curtailed in 2010 due to the Great Recession . Between 2005 and 2010, national Model United Nations conferences such as those organized by PKU and the rivaling Fudan University in Shanghai drew the best high school students from around the country, who competed for limited spaces. Over time, lesser-known national conferences, as well as regional and even local conferences for high school students, began to develop and gradually spread to cities beyond Beijing and Shanghai . Most Model United Nations conferences in mainland China are organized through private or academic enterprises, however some government-affiliated MUNs have also flourished, and recently, unofficial student-run grassroots conferences have begun to dominate

4050-460: The first study of Greek theatre construction. After his retirement in 1912, Dörpfeld engaged in numerous academic debates on different archaeological topics. For example, in the mid-1930s, he took part in a celebrated debate with American archaeologist William Bell Dinsmoor on the nature of configuration of the three phases of the Parthenon. At the beginning of the 1920s, he started to lecture at

Today, some Model United Nations conferences include a wide variety of topics in their committee offerings, some even simulating the League of Nations. The first recorded instance of a Model United Nations conference was at Swarthmore College on 5 April 1947. Over 150 students from over 41 colleges were reported as participating. The delegates simulated

4200-448: The historical reality of places mentioned in the works of Homer . While the details of his claims regarding locations mentioned in Homer's writings are not considered accurate by later archaeologists, his fundamental idea that they correspond to real places is accepted. Thus, his work greatly contributed to not only scientific techniques and study of these historically significant sites but also

4275-456: The island of Lefkada , Greece, where he had a house, believing that the bay of Nidri on the eastern coast of Lefkada was the historical Ithaca , home of Odysseus in Homer 's Odyssey . He developed a method of dating archaeological sites by the strata in which objects were found and the type of materials used for the buildings. He corrected many of Schliemann's previous conclusions, including

4350-505: The mainland by a narrow strip of land, making it a peninsula rather than an island. The strip of land was cut through by the Corinthians in the 7th century BCE. Modern geographers and hydrographers, however, have claimed that ancient Lefkada was an island . They noted that the causeway that connects it to the mainland today is a recent product of silting in the channel and so Lefkada may have experienced varying degrees of connection with

4425-490: The mainland over the last few thousand years. Dörpfeld may have believed that Lefkada was a freestanding island (or was regarded as such) at the time of Homer's descriptions, in accordance with the above passage. Dörpfeld may also have felt that the difficulty of crossing the narrow causeway was referred to in Homer's enigmatic and repeated jest, "For nowise, methinks, didst thou come hither on foot". Homer, Odyssey 14.190 , 16.224 . In 1912–1914, Dörpfeld obtained permission from

Dörpfeld also found evidence for his claims in Mycenaean pottery , which he found in the same strata. Modern archaeologists, however, think that Homer wrote about Troy VII instead. Dörpfeld spent a lot of time and energy trying to prove that Homer's epics were based on historical facts. He proposed that

Delegates conduct research before conferences: they must formulate position papers, and create policy proposals that they will debate with other delegates in their committee. At

4800-522: The shaft burial sites at Mycenae . Dörpfeld realized that the site was a "tholos" tomb, not the "Treasury of Atreus", as Schliemann claimed. During the excavations of Panagiotis Kavvadias on the Acropolis of Athens , Dörpfeld was instrumental in correcting the previous belief that the temple of Athena , destroyed by the Persians in 480 BCE, was not beneath the Parthenon but to the north of it. He suggested

4875-684: The strata in which objects were found and the type of building materials, remains at the core in archaeological site analyses. His excavations, however, had many flaws, and his seeking to prove that Homer based his Odyssey on real places was rather romantic. His fellow archaeologists remarked that he overemphasised the importance of buildings in the dating of sites and often neglected less visible artifacts, such as pottery . Dörpfeld, however, remains known as one who brought much order and integrity into archaeology, and one who saved many archaeological sites from Schliemann's reckless excavations. In 1924, botanists ( Britton ) Urb. first published and described

Besides suggesting the existence of the two previous proto-Parthenons, he was able to reconstruct the dimensions of their ground plans. After Schliemann's death in 1890, his widow hired Dörpfeld to continue from where Schliemann had stopped in his excavations of Troy . Dörpfeld found nine separate cities, one atop

5025-426: The way resolutions are voted on, and how they facilitate the general flow of debate. Points are used to discuss topics that are outside of substantive debate. They are more personal, and don't require a vote. Motions are used to discuss procedural matters, and they help to further the discussion on a committee topic. A delegate may request the committee as a whole to perform a particular action. Most motions will require

Resolutions must go through a draft , approval by the dais, and consequent debate and modification. MUN Resolutions are composed of both preambulatory and operative clauses. Preambulatory clauses help to outline the general problems that a resolution will fix, whereas operative clauses suggest possible solutions and help to display solutions in an organized and easily understandable way. MUN societies and conferences are run by

At the same time, he started to work for the Bergisch-Maerki industrial company. His father could not finance his studies and so his sister, Anna, lent him money. During holiday breaks, Dörpfeld worked for the Rheine railway company, drawing sketches of buildings and different architectural objects. Dörpfeld graduated with honours in 1876. In 1877, Dörpfeld became an assistant at

He is famous for his work on Bronze Age sites around the Mediterranean , such as Tiryns and Hisarlik (the site of the legendary city of Troy ), where he continued Heinrich Schliemann 's excavations. Like Schliemann, Dörpfeld was an advocate of
