UNESCO DÍA 1
Comienza el primer día de simulaciones estudiantiles en la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos de
Móstoles. A las 10.30 de la mañana, tras el reparto de acreditaciones, los distintos
representantes de los 30 países de todo el mundo que han decidido participar en estas
jornadas de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura
(UNESCO) pudieron asistir a la ceremonia de apertura y, posteriormente, tras el coffee break,
tuvieron lugar las conferencias de los distintos comités, lo cual supuso el adentrarse de
lleno en el proyecto URJCmun Teen.
Tras la comida, fueron primero las presentaciones de un minuto y medio de cada territorio y,
a continuación, las mociones relacionadas con el tema central del día: la globalización y su
relación con la economía. Sin duda, después de esta primera parte de la sesión 0 el debate
parecía prometedor dada la distancia de culturas y religiones en una misma sala.
La primera moción que salió adelante por mayoría absoluta trataba la importancia de
preservar las culturas. Durante 10 minutos pudieron intervenir Francia, Canadá, Perú, Italia,
Vatican City, United Arab Emirates, Siria, Peru, USA, China, Austria, Afganistán, Alemania,
Hungría, Holanda y Egipto, que generalmente tratan desde temas como avances en la
ciencia y tecnológicos, economía, así como aspectos más ligados a cada país como sus
lenguas, costumbres, muchos de ellos haciendo referencia a sus habitantes, historia y
cultura.
Tras esto, el representante de Perú realizó una moción con aires más optimistas que el resto.
Dicha moción, en la que se proponía discutir en 15 minutos sobre los posibles efectos
positivos de la globalización, terminó por salir adelante. Emiratos Árabes Unidos, que tomó
la palabra en numerosas ocasiones, China, Canadá, India, Francia quisieron dar su punto de
vista respecto a este asunto. Los temas principales que salieron a la luz fueron poner en el
centro la vida de las personas, promoviendo así la paz en el conjunto del mundo, punto en
que la mayoría de representantes estuvieron de acuerdo, al igual que al hablar de fomentar
el respeto entre culturas y religiones, o cuestiones como luchar en conjunto contra el
cambio climático.
Llegados a este punto, la siguiente cuestión fue cómo asegurar la existencia de las culturas.
Aquí el debate se enfocó en la peligrosidad de que las culturas más minoritarias
desaparezcan en un mundo más globalizado. En esta ocasión países como Italia, Marruecos,
China e India aportaron medidas concretas para paliar este posible problema de la
globalización.
A continuación, tras un descanso informal de media hora, se cerró el día procediendo a
hacer un feedback en que cada uno de los participantes pudo plantear a las faculty
advisors sus dudas, visiones sobre el día y comenzar a pensar enmiendas, plantear puntos a
favor y en contra con el resto de países, etc. de cara a negociar y poder llegar a redactar una
resolución. Llegados a las 18.30 se cerró la sesión y los participantes pudieron abandonar la
sala hasta mañana a las 10.00, cuando se encontrarán en el aula 002 del aulario III.

Second day of URJCmun at UNESCO: the draft resolutions begin
The second day of simulations of the Model United Nations begins at the Rey Juan Carlos
University in Móstoles. At 10 a.m., representatives of the 30 countries participating in the
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) attended the first
session in which the main topics were related to globalization in general terms. Once the first
debates had taken place, a round of table discussion took place in which all delegations
were held accountable to each other and two camps, for and against globalisation, began to
emerge.
Still, despite the absence of concrete measures, the day looked promising for the time being.
After the coffee break, the first motion to go forward in session III was put to the vote. After
four of them had been rejected, Germany warned of the importance of talking about the
economy, which France supported. Finally, the fifth motion, "Solutions for globalisation",
proposed by the delegation of the Republic of Peru, was carried. Syria, France, India, Egypt
and Germany, among others, offered their views.
At this point, the dilemma was whether the discussion on the drafting of the resolution would
take place in the framework of an unmoderated caucus, as proposed by Israel, or a
moderated caucus. Peru and India then entered into a "race" over who would be the
moderator, as while the former proposed a 9-minute debate, Peru proposed 9 minutes and
10 seconds, bringing a smile to more than one person's face with humorous comments such
as "who gives more?" The morning session concluded with the unmoderated caucus
proposed by the delegate from Israel, followed by another proposed by Peru.
The lunch break was unanimously agreed and delegates did not reconvene until 14.15, when
the afternoon session began. The first activity of the afternoon was a new round table, in this
case multiple countries of the Unesco Committee showed their concerns, as well as
concrete solutions, to problems related to tourism, education, as was the case of Peru and
Germany, culture and other issues that arise during the process of globalisation.
At around 4 p.m., the Indian delegate asked for a moderated caucus in order to generate
agreements and to begin drafting the first draft resolutions, of which there were two so far.
No one wanted to object, and so the caucus proceeded. There were three clearly
differentiated groups in the room.
On this second day, the photograph of all participants would be taken at 18.00, after which it
had to be decided which would be the last activity. The group of representatives decided to
give way, on two more occasions, to two consecutive unmoderated caucuses of 15 minutes,
which served to confirm two draft resolutions in which the protagonists seemed to be India
and Peru.

Last day of URJCmun at UNESCO: end of resolutions, casts and prizes
Third and last day of UN simulations at the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos de Móstoles. At
10.20 a.m. the morning session was officially opened after the viewing of the video of
yesterday's session and the reading of the chronicle. The agenda consisted of closing
resolutions and voting on amendments.
The first activity of the day consisted of a round table where representatives from countries
such as Peru, India, Germany and Vatican City spoke. In view of today's vote on amendments
and resolutions, there was a clear intention to convince the rest of the delegates.
After the coffee break, the formal session was reopened and a 5-minute unmoderated
caucus was requested to finalise the resolutions and to give way to proposals for tabling the
resolutions. At this point, the room was divided into two, the side seated on the left, which
was the first to present, and the side on the right, which presented afterwards.
The camp on the right grouped the countries of Greece, India, Israel and Germany, among
others, and their document was based on measures to promote minority cultures, financing
them through the creation of a common fund in which economically stable countries
contribute 1% of GDP. In addition, they insisted on investing in education to maintain culture
from generation to generation and promoting tourism through financial support for travel
agencies.
The group on the right, with Peru, Austria, China, the United States and the United Arab
Emirates as promoters, then proposed a series of measures that put minority cultures at the
centre, such as indigenous crafts, events, a building as a monument representing all
cultures, large investments in education or a fund made up mainly of China and the USA, the
richest countries, to make all these measures possible in all countries.
Then came the creation and voting on amendments, where the attendees could add, delete
or modify different issues in the draft resolutions. Delegates held a final 15-minute debate on
the draft resolutions.
Lunchtime was the time for drafting and submitting amendments. The first was from Vatican
City, supported by India as second mover, which proposed an amendment to modify the
culture clause of the second. Other amendments were tabled but, with the exception of one,
all were adopted amicably and the resolution adopted was that of the group on the right.
The last day ended in the most amusing way with punishments, where not even the chairs
were spared from just dancing, prizes for the most outstanding delegates such as those of
the United Arab Emirates and Peru and many romances after the reading of gossips.
