I have been selected by the United Nations Department of Public Information (DPI) to participate as a delegate at the first annual Global Model United Nations (GMUN) Conference in Geneva, Switzerland in August this year.
The GMUN conference will be a simulation of the General Assembly plenary sessions and the Assembly’s main committees. The theme of the conference will be “The Millennium Development Goals: Lifting the bottom billion out of poverty”.
What is particularly interesting about my role is that I have been assigned to represent the United Kingdom (UK). This scenario provides an interesting situation were I will present the UK’s position in the Security Council and its positions on different global topical issues, of which the Zimbabwe case may feature prominently.
The global GMUN is open to university students from across the world below the age of 25, who have previous experience in model United Nations debate.
Sixpence represented Zimbabwe at the Pan-African Universities Debate Championships (PAUDC) in Gaborone, Botswana were he reached the semi-finals and is a finalist of the Imagine Afrika reality television show. In addition to this I am British American Tobacco (Zimbabwe) scholar and research fellow with the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation and the Africa Institute of South Africa- Young African Scholars fellowship programme
