Facebook and Twitter<\/span><\/h2>\n

You will need join a Facebook group for this subject and we encourage you to use Twitter too, though this is optional. We have both a general Facebook account for the subject and groups for each tutorial so that we can use it for sharing information, posting country papers, developing resolutions and simulating backroom negotiation through group chats, polls and private chats (as you try to build a coalition). Joining a group allows communications without having to be ‘friends.’ If you don’t already have a Facebook account, please make sure you inform yourself about privacy options like not showing your birthday on your account.\n<\/p>\n

Twitter is a way of sharing key current events on the UN system and the global issue we are debating as well as following key leaders and thinkers from or on the country you will represent at the Model United Nations.\n<\/p>\n

This is not compulsory but you will be able to converse with the teaching team and your peers by using the hashtag #UOWMUN. The hashtag allows to you filter and find tweets on a similar topic. Modern diplomats and UN and other organisational officials use twitter actively to promote their activities and link to key documents.\n<\/p>\n
