Gavel Talk - A Model UN Podcast

Today, we have two guest speakers joining us from the United Nations building in New York - Vincenzo Pugliese, Head of UN Outreach @ the Department for Global Communications and Hadas Fischer-Rosenberg, Ambassador for Global Communications. We discuss the United Nations - its history, connection to MUN, and what it's doing now!

This episode has a special guest - FHSMUN Secretary-General Keerthana Nallamotu! From in-person to virtual conferences, from dealing with power delegates to leading blocs, there's a lot to talk about unmod. In this episode, Keerthana and host Devansh discuss a wide range of topics dealing with unmod in-person and virtually! We hope you enjoy the episode.

Chairs are incredibly important to the flow of any MUN committee, so here are some tips - for how to know what your chair is like, interact with them, and learn from them.

General Assembly, Specialized, Crisis, UNSC - what are all of these committees, and what are the similarities and differences between them? In this episode, we'll be exploring all that and more.
