Empowering our students to be world-changers is something central to every Nord Anglia Education school. We encourage our students to share their thoughts on pressing global issues and to be ambitious about their role in making our world a better place through global-mindedness and active leadership.
Our school joined other schools from across Europe and the Middle East regional at the Model United Nation (MUN) event that took place on the 8th and 9th of February.
This two-day regional event, hosted by La Côte International School (LCIS) in Aubonne Switzerland, welcomed Nord Anglia Education students between the ages of 11 and 14, as they took on the role of delegates from participating countries in the actual United Nations.
The delegates joined committees, workshops, team-building activities and specialised sessions to address specific issues. After reading position papers and debating amongst themselves, the delegates drafted, submitted and voted upon resolutions. Thanks to the school’s proximity to the UN Headquarters in Geneva, students were also able to make a visit to this very important building.
The four committees discussed: education, illness and disability; inequality, poverty, waste and sustainably; disputes over the South China seas, water disputes in Africa, denuclearisation in North Korea and the arms market.
he NAE Model United Nations conference at LCIS provided an invaluable introduction to the world of MUN, especially for those students with no previous experience of it.
