Country research can be difficult. Delegates need to hit the right balance of understanding the wants and needs of their nation and also a mix of what’s going on in the world. Civitas has selected a number of videos that highlight serious problems in certain regions of the world. Maybe you will want to write a resolution on one of these issues, maybe you won’t. At the very least it’s a good way to meet some of the people and see locations in other parts of the world. If you have suggestions for other videos or would like us to find videos on certain topics, please email [email protected].
