Tn koutou katoa
On behalf of UN Youth New Zealands volunteers from acrossAotearoa, congratulations on your successful application to
NZ Model UN 2013.
Just getting here is an accomplishment to be proud of. By
being selected, you have proven you are passionate about
the world and you have something to contribute to the
international aairs dialogue in this country. For many of
you this will be your first NZ Model UN, or even your first UN
Youth New Zealand event if so, welcome to the UN Youthwhnau! We look forward to becoming the best of friends.
Just to make myself sound old, I attended my first NZ Model UN at the impressionable age
of 15, way back in 2006. I havent missed an NZ Model UN since and this, friends, means that
NZ Model UN 2013 will be my eighth (and final!). The programme has expanded over the
past eight years, but the core benefits to youth and the quality of Model UN participation
has remained strong. Use this unique opportunity to become a global citizen and to identify
what you want to accomplish in your lifetime as an empowered young person.
Looking beyond the Millennium Development Goals is your theme for this year and its
going to provide each of you with some significant global challenges to ponder. The MDGs
will soon have run their course, so whats next? What do you (and more importantly, your
UN Member State) think should be next on the UNs horizon? What would you like
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to be able to say the UN has accomplished in 10, 15, 20
years from now? Once you have answered these questions at this conference, it will be your
responsibility to return home and share your thoughts with your peers, your teachers, your
parents and your communities.
I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank Coordinator Harry Tothill and the NZ
Model UN Committee for the countless hours, hard work and enthusiasm they have
contributed as volunteers over the past year to make this event the best NZ Model UN yet.
Have a fantastic conference!

COORDINATORS WELCOMEWelcome to NZ Model UN 2013.
Congratulations for making it here. Many people applied to be a delegate, and sadly, manymissed out. The committee spent long hours putting together a team of 240 of our best
and brightest secondary school students, and we think weve got it about right. We look
forward to welcoming you to Wellington.
This year, in addition to New Zealanders, we welcome members of UN Youth Australia, who
will also be taking part in the conference, as part of their Aotearoa Leadership Programme.
We know you will add an exciting trans-Tasman perspective to our conference.
Our theme this year is Looking beyond the Millennium Development Goals. In 2000, manyaround the world were worried about the shape the world might be in come 2015. The goals
they set are now coming up for review as 2015 rapidly approaches. We hope you go away
from this conference without the fear of those in 2000 - with renewed confidence in the
ability of the international community to meet new goals in the next 15 years.
You may rightly ask: why should we be any more confident? You may feel that the world
has failed to meet the commitments of the 8 Millennium Development Goals. You may be
disappointed that we fell so far o the mark. Why then did we go wrong? Perhaps what
was missing from those goals was some creativity, some commitment. Its not just aboutgoal setting, its about strategising. We want you to use your ingenuity, your own ideas, to
come up with creative ways for the world to define, meet, and even exceed, the next round
of targets.
All the best for the conference we have planned for you. Itll be a huge four days, with
intensive workshops, committees, plenaries and speakers. On top of that, I hope its fun.
Enjoy the company of your fellow visionaries and future leaders - you will doubtlessly be
seeing much more of them in the years to come.
The committee and I cant wait to meet you. This booklet will explain more about us, about
UN Youth, about Wellington, and about the conference.
Get ready and get researching. The training handbook, which will be distributed in
conjunction with this booklet, will explain how to prepare for the conference.
We look forward to seeing you in Wellington.

room at the UN Youth HQ, and is also known as

hired her to clear up the Kim Dotcom mess (shes an expert
at dealing with vast spreadsheets of delegate details).

they probably mean her.
Charlie Fire-in-the-hole Lin has a black belt in being a
Conference Assistants Ocer. Hes a second year Law andArts agent on secondment from Auckland. Hes a smooth
talker, known for his ability to pull o any disguise with
panache. When not busy saving the world in a Model UN
sense, he intercepts sensitive information from his house
on the North Shore. Hallowed amongst Aucklanders as
President, this guy is one suave dude.
Xindi MI6 Zhang is one sharp Communications Ocer.
A former Wellingtonian who made the move up to
Auckland, she runs the Ministry of Pretty Things here at
NZ Model UN. When it comes to blogs, social media and
handbooks, Xindi is the one to call. A Commerce and
Arts whiz, she enjoys firing multiple pistols while jumping
through the air, sipping on a particular drink made shaken,
not stirred.

Wellington is well known for its steep hills and with the majority
of NZ Model UN situated at the Kelburn Campus, you will need to
scale one in order to get to the conference. There are several
transport options depending on your budget, patience and fitness
level. Please remember with all options that there are 300 people
at the conference so it is best to allow plenty of travel time since
this number of people may result in your preferred option being
unavailable.

ground up.
THINK TANK
THE CONCEPT:
Delegates will face the challenge of coming up with a
sustainable business proposal that they can implement in their
Member State and other countries in their regional group in orderto achieve progress towards the current Millennium Development
Goals targets.
Before the conference you will be allocated an MDG goal to
research. You will have to research the current progress that has
been taken in your member state towards achieving the relevant
MDG and also look into the organisations that focus on solving andcontributing towards the issue at heart of your MDG.
