my experience in npa

juan manuel montero
Delegation: Andi (national assocciation of industries)
comision: environmental ( the water as a fundamental right )

All this started when the miss of sociales tell us that we are going to participate in npa, first i dont understand what is that but later i undersatand more. Then we selected the delagations that we want, i selected andi and then i selected the comission of environmental.
Second we practice in english class how to talk what are the rules with a president named luisa parra, she teach us what to do in npa. We present an expositions of delegations of what are the funcion of the delegation and the history, in that exposition i was more or less preparated. Then i stay in an afternoon to make a mock of npa all the delegates have to stay in the afternoon. we met the presidents of our comisions and they also remember us what to do, in my comision we do a little debate. Then in class of civics the miss said us to make a position paper,a paper in which delegation tell what they thing about the problem and put some proposals of what to do with that.
Then people started to prepare more and more of that because when i stay in the mock i wasn't well prepared and many people too.
Then on march 27 was the day of the model i was so scary about that. First we do an introductory explanation in the coliseum. Then we go to the classroom to debate. At the beggining we read the position paper, i was the first i was very scaried, then we make three debates until 4:30 pm later it was the final conclucion, our delegation was not best and not the worse delegation

  3. there it was a realy agresive discus buecause many people were saying that the president ( alvaro urive velez) was only making wars to disapear the FARC but many people were saying that the president was helping the country making economical strategies to make colombia not be afected by the econical decrase
  4. then we had to make our work paper were we proposed the sollution, our paper pass so our paper became a resollution.
  5. finally the model finished and i was so tired of being sit like for 10 hours but i knew that that was a amazing experience for life.

My experience at NPA (Narcotrafico)


Hi,


I am going to tell all want happen with my experience in the preparation and work in NPA. First we made the competences exam (the oral part) with the president Luisa Parra. We need (my delegation) to tell what we do, we were Andi (National Association Of Industrial, in spanish Asociación Nacional De Industriales) our work was to represent the private Colombian sector, and look for benefits for it. In the real Assembly we start reading our paper position, that express the delegation point of view about the topic. The topic was "Social and Political impact of illicit crops". After reading our position papers we start an informal debate.


We said that illicit crops had killed, taken out of their land, massacred many farmers and Indians.




The FARC and ELN stayed that: that is a way to provide the monetary resources to their revolution. It is possible to kill, taken out of their territory many innocent people, That is a way to provide monetary resources to their "people" revolution?.
Then a crisis arrived: "Some United States and European Union citizens had killed some Colombian and Brazilian farmers to take them a illegal substance". We start a debate accusing them. Then we made our work paper proposing solutions. I made a paper with Liberal Party (Oscar Santiago Ramos), Fedegan (Maria Fernanda Duran), it does not pass cause people try to take revenge of us (Oscar and me make many people felt in their mistakes so they revenge of us). Finally the model finished, we thought that the model will had to last 1 day more, because we could not finishing debating. Then we went to the awards. In my delegation the winners were: Best position paper: Oscar Santiago Ramos, Best delegate: Oscar Santiago Ramos, Over passing delegate: Jhoan Gonzales, Santiago Rico.

My Experience in NPA (NATIONAL PEACE ASSEMBY)


First, we made the oral competencies exam with miss Gomez Casseres and Luisa Parra acted as a president(chair) , and we exposed the topic of our Delegation. I was on The Repubic Bank Of Colombia in Spanish "Banco de la Republica" then we had preparation for the real NPA, we participated and we learned the methods of speaking in the Assemblies, and how to debate.
Then on March 27 we made the real debate and participated, we had a problem a crisis assigned by the chair(presidents), it was AWESOME!

My Commission was called illegal caption. And there was DMG delegation, but the REPRESENTATIVES lost the vote.
As a conclusion,this was a cool experience and we learn a lot of this, I truly discovered that I loved debating on something, I felt really awesome doing this because I liked to be informed and to discuss a probable solution for a problem lived in a society.
I recommend you to have this experience. It is really awesome!
