IB/CAS Proposal
Candidate Name: Enya Calibuso
Activity/Project: Johannesburg Model United Nations (JOMUN)
XII
Date: 27 August 2014
Intro:
I chose to
continue JOMUN for my second year, because I found it very rewarding and
interesting last year. I learned a lot and the debates sparked my interest and
allowed me to be a more influential journalist. This year I go into JOMUN with
more confidence and a overall understanding of the United Nations. My skill
level is intermediate. My talent is fast typing and a good listener.
Targeted Learning Outcomes:
I am engaged in issues of global
importance through JOMUN
by researching the new topic “Finding Solutions to 21st Century
Challenges in Africa” including: achieving universal primary education in
Africa, creating equal opportunities for women in education, work, and
government participation, and the situation in Nigeria involving the Boko Haram
Islamist insurgency. As a journalist, I will always keep a strong consideration on the ethical implications pertaining
to the articles I write to be published for JOMUN. Sensitivity on the subjects
and an open mind are essential for writing the truth. I will continue to display perseverance and commitment to my fellow
press team. I will represent the American School of Johannesburg in the JOMUN
Conference to the highest standards of excellence.
This activity would complete my
Creativity section of CAS.
Activity Description:
We will prepare
for the JOMUN conference by writing preliminary articles pertaining to specific
topics. Currently, I am revising the JOMUN book to reflect this years United
Nations topic – “Finding Solution to 21st Century Challenges in
Africa.” In addition, the press team is working on a new layout for the Jomun
Journal. Tasks have been assigned to each press member. The article will be
prepared the day of the delegation by taking notes, and then drafting the
article that will be published in the newspaper. My role in JOMUN is to be a
columnist. My responsibilities include note taking, background context, correct
facts, and composing gathered information into one article for the JOMUN
newspaper.
End:
The
opportunities are endless for the development of my learning outcomes. Being a
second year journalist, I have honed by skills as a writer. The efficiency to
pull out pertinent information that will provide the greatest details and
insight to clarify the topic to its fullest. I will uphold my civic
responsibilities as a senior, to be a positive professional role model
throughout the JOMUN conference. I will represent JOMUN with the upmost
integrity.
