Model United Nations
Model United Nations is a club where students simulate the debates that occur in the United Nations. Through these simulations students learn about the politics, geography and history of countries they are representing by taking on the role of foreign diplomats working in the United Nations. In the process of creating resolutions to current international problems students develop an understanding of global issues, diplomacy and improve their communication skills.
The ISHR Model United Nations club was formed in January 2008 by a group of students who had previously been involved in equivalent clubs in previous schools.
Previously, the “delegates” have debated on issues such as the Isreal-Palestine conflict, the situation in Afghanistan, climate change and human rights violations.
In the future delegations of students will attend MUN conferences in a variety of countries where they will interact with hundreds of other students from other schools over the course of several days.
