Great opportunities seldom come without us seeking them but such a rarity did becomes a reality when we, the students of RKK represented our school in
TBS MUN 2020 organised by The British School, New Delhi. The concept of an MUN is important as it helps the participants to become fully aware of the way the UN functions. Unless we, the future of the world are aware of the functioning and proceedings of the United Nations, this vital congregation of the nations of the world will not be successful. MUN also helps in enhancing the knowledge, teamwork and leadership, public speaking and problem-solving skills of the participants.
The MUN required comprehensive research on agendas provided to the five different committees, namely, General Assembly (UNGA), United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), Joint Crisis Committee(JOC), North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and The United Nations Security Council(UNSC). The process was very enriching for all the members of the team, in terms of gaining vital insight into the politics and diplomacy in today’s world. The information extracted is always an eye opener to some very intricate aspects of the world issues that concern us.
The three days (
4th to 6th of September) have been a package. Wherein on the first day, Dr. Shashi Tharoor had been a guest of honour. His words were motivating to all the delegates. The second day was overwhelming as the delegates were their best to resolve the crisis through their dialogue. The concluding day remarked very high standards of debating. The committee sessions were wrapped up by voting on the draft resolutions which could be called as the perfect ones for our committees to be successful.
Anvi Mehta, being in Class 8th was the youngest participant. Other participants, Kirti Soni, Lauren, Nandini Shekhawat, Niharika Pamnani, Sumriddhi Sharma, Harshita Saraswat, Reet Goyal, Sheetal Johari, Sanjiti Gill and Himanshi Soni put in immense hard work to make this the best of their experiences.
