Model United Nations (MUN) is more than an extra-curricular activity. It’s an opportunity where one is able to develop their capabilities through debates, negotiations, and public speaking. MUN forges developing one’s personality and provides essential diplomatic values to our youths.
While it’s challenging, what does MUN offer?
- Motivating students to learn about global issues. It is a way to become an active and more concerned global citizen in an ever-changing world; which is more important than ever.
- The opportunity to build confidence, leadership, and diplomatic skills.
- A chance to exercise research, public speaking, teamwork, and necessary skills for future careers.
- In gaining MUN experience, students can learn to network, which is a professional and lifelong skill.
Over the past four years, MUN participation has increased, and AISA MUN delegates have engaged in several MUN overseas conferences, with schools from all over the world (including Al Hekma International in Bahrain and Georgetown Conference in Doha); all of which have been enriching experiences for students. Through our students’ leadership, AISA created and hosted its first conference, where several local international and overseas schools participated.
But above all MUN is a chance for every student to speak. Their voices will be heard. Their ideas will go global! It is their chance to dream, travel the world, gain priceless stories, and leave their comfort zone!
