MUN Meeting
By Arjit Verma (10S)
GIS students have
taken part in
another debate
based on world
topics.
On March 8,
Regent’s
International School
hosted an MUN
(Model United
Nations) meeting.
In this event, students come dressed
formally and represent different countries.
This is a student replica of the United
Nationals (UN), as the name suggests,
and participants interact with others to
solve real global issues. It is a really
amazing way to develop speaking skills,
interact with world issues and of course
have fun. GIS was offered spaces for
delegates and 2 spaces for Chairs who
co-ordinate everything in their council and
keep order and rules in place. A total of
eight people signed up. There were 6 delegates: Berenice, Yukta, Reha, Natasha,
Abhigyan and Yash, and 2 Chairs: Arjit and Pam.
All delegates are separated into 4 councils: Security, Human Rights, Environmental and
Political Councils. Each council is assigned relevant topics which are formally discussed
in the MUN style. This is a debating event in which delegates first state their country’s view
and then make teams. Later they form resolutions for each topic and debate them in a
complex, formal and respective way.
All participating delegates, including a Year 6 student, spoke on the behalf of their country
and debated. Many resolutions passed and many did not, nevertheless delegates were
able to resolve global issues without sparking wars. The councils were run and organised
by Chairs who also needed knowledge over MUN rules and had to imply them to correct or
help delegates while the debate was in progress.
