It is an educational simulation of the United Nation (UN) proceedings and an academic activity in which students can learn about diplomacy, international relations, and the UN. Model United Nations also allows our students to represent some of the 193 countries across the world where they lobby, merge and debate their ideas to solve real and current issues affecting the world.
This academic year our students will be attending 4 conferences – some of who were selected as Student Officers (Chairs who lead committees) in highly contestable positions, in very established and elite conferences. The dates are as follows:
TIANMUN -Tianjin, China – October 24-27, 2018 – residential
THIMUN – Singapore – November 18-24, 2018 – residential
CISSMUN – Pudong, China – January 18-20, 2019
ISQMUN – Qingdao, China – February 28- March 02, 2019 – residential
In preparation for these conferences, students will learn The Hague International Model United Nations (THIMUN) rules. Becoming a member requires commitment and weekly attendance to our Tuesday meetings after school in A311.
MUNers will be taught the skills of persuasive communication both verbally and in writing. Students will learn how to write resolutions that aim to solve current issues affecting vulnerable populations around the world.
Model United Nations is an international and elite club that attracts potential global leaders with a passion to effect global changes in ways that include, but are not limited to: Peace and Security; The Rule of Law; Human Rights; Climate Change and Sustainable Development.
We encourage students to join this exciting and intellectually stimulating CCA, to tackle the big questions we face today; meet like-minded students from around the world – make lifelong friendships; increase confidence in public speaking; use diplomatic skills to communicate. MUN will also provide students with CAS hours – the hours earned depends on the amount of tutoring and coaching of less experienced YCIS MUNers and the roles achieved at each conference.
