As the curtains fell on the 44th Model United Nations Conference, my perspective as a delegate was filled with more than just the exhilaration of debate and the pride of representation. Behind the formal wear and the formalities, I saw an arena for growth beyond conventional education. The simulation was a microcosm of the real world where theoretical knowledge met practical diplomacy.
Participants from institutions like EKU, Manchester University and IUS tackled global crises including the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, the conflict in Ukraine and the rising political turmoil in Haiti.
More than 60 student delegates dove into the nuances of policy and peacemaking, using structured debates to drive the council’s agenda.
