WORKSHOPS

Among our main goals is to promote and convey a deeper understanding of the United Nations and international politics. Thus, one afternoon of the conference is reserved for our workshop programme “MUIMUN meets experts”. You will get the chance to meet professionals from the field and approach international politics from a different angle.

A brief History of conspiracy theories and cognitive fallacies – Marc Stallony

During the first month of the Covid-19 Pandemic 2020 the popularity of certain telegram groups arose globally. Most of them spreading misinformation about possible hazards of vaccines and the possible causes of the virus itself. Some of them were just frightened citizens trying to handle an unpredictable situation, some others fell into the dangerous spirals of conspiracy theories. Where do these conspiracy theories come from, how long do they exist and what do they do to people who engage with them? Those and similar questions will be discussed by Marc Stallony in his workshop about conspiracy theories and cognitive delusions.

Marc Stallony currently works at the innovation office of the University of Münster. He is part of the team of Idea Mining, a project for solving problems by national and international companies and institutions innovatively. With his specialisation in psychology he is more than adequate to teach the delegates of MUIMUN about the cognitive effects of conspiracy theories.

Negotiation Skills – Henning Höber

Negotiations are a recurring part of both our private and professional lives. But many of us – and even experienced political leaders – know little about the strategies, tactics and applied psychology of effective bargaining. The workshop is designed as a crash course in basic and intermediate negotiation techniques, based on the proven methods of leading law schools and business schools. Participants will explore distributive and integrative bargaining tactics in two highly interactive simulations. These role plays enable them to experience the essential concepts and pitfalls of negotiation first-hand and reflect upon their performance during the debriefing of the case studies.The workshop is limited to 30 participants and requires the willingness to actively negotiate with a randomly assigned counterpart during the session.

Henning Höber is a lecturer in the departments of business administration and political science at the University of Münster, where he is teaching negotiation and dispute resolution.

The non-profit Münster MUN e. V. (German registered association) supports the MUIMUN project actively, especially with a staff (the volontarily working MUIMUN organization team) and ideally. Additionally, it also helps in funding the project.
