July 2013, Hyderabad: Model United Nations is an academic simulation of the
largest international organization, the United Nations, which aims to educate
students about current affairs, topics in international relations, diplomacy,
and the United Nations.
Oakridge,
India’s Largest International School, is conducting the first ever MiddleSchool Model United Nations Conference on 3rd and 4th
August at Oakridge Newton Campus. Oakridge has successfully organized
large-scale high school MUN conferences and is now bringing the same experience
to students in grades 6-8 through JuniorMUN!
Capt.
RohitSen Bajaj, principal of Oakridge Gachibowli campus, says, “MUNs challenge
students to broaden their outlook, holistically develop their skills, share
experiences with like minded students, and
grow into successful leaders of the future. Student delegates take on
roles of international diplomats and ambassadors in various organizations and
agencies of the United Nations and tackle some of the most pressing global
issues.
The
committees and agendas to be simulated have been chosen such that they will
allow middle school students to debate and discuss effectively. And they are: -
United Nations Environmental Program - Combating Global Warming, United Nations
Human Rights Council – Gender Discrimination, United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organization – Achieving Universal Primary Education,
Economic and Social Council – Eradicating Poverty and Hunger, World Health
