The Model UN of International Department of Suzhou No.1 High school will be held tomorrow. Among the students who attended this meeting, some of them have learned the relevant knowledge in the previous meeting, while some of them are for the first time. I believe this meeting will spark a fierce spark.

What is the Model United Nations?

Model United Nations (MUN) for short. Participants held meetings in accordance with the streamlined rules and regulations of the United Nations. The model union provides an excellent opportunity for the participants to understand the process of multilateral diplomacy and improve their ability of research, writing, especially conflict resolution and seeking common ground while reserving differences through analyzing topics, speeches and debates. In the process, students can exercise their critical thinking, team spirit and leadership skills. At the same time, they can learn to expand their international vision and understand the positions and situations of various countries in history and reality under the multicultural background, so as to become better citizens of the world.

Students need to act as diplomats of various countries in the general assembly. In the form of a United Nations Conference, through personal experience of expounding views, policy debates, voting and making resolutions, they are familiar with the operation mode of the United Nations, understand the impact of world events on their future, and understand their role in the future.

The significance of Model United Nations to students

1、 Broaden your vision

MUN focuses on a wide range of issues, most of which are the hot issues facing all countries today. In such an era of globalization, MUN can enable students to have a greater pattern and vision.

2、 Perfect logical thinking

The most important ability of MUN is the ability of speech and defense. In the whole process, students will learn how to better organize their language, how to enhance their thinking and reaction, and cultivate their critical thinking, so as to finally let others accept and agree with their own views.

3、Exercise leadership and teamwork

MUN is not only a project to show personal charm, but also a valuable opportunity to cultivate team spirit and improve personal leadership. Through MUN, the students learn the knowledge of international politics, are familiar with the rules of procedure and operation of the relevant UN agencies, and assist each other in the process of debate, so as to catch the weakness of the opponent and win. Undoubtedly, in these experiences, students will greatly enhance their leadership and team spirit.

4、 Bonus points for applying to the ideal university

In addition to the basic academic ability, overseas universities pay more attention to students' interests and talents and meaningful experience in high school. Participating in MUN represents the proof of personal soft power, especially the international perspective and good communication and cooperation skills, which are the characteristics of applicants favored by overseas universities.

Dress Code

Men usually wear white shirts and dark suits. Pay attention to tie and socks need to choose dark, underclothes should not be exposed, shoes should not be too bright. You can wear a white shirt without a tie on formal occasions such as the opening ceremony.

Women can choose trousers or skirts. Dark color is still appropriate, skirt is longer than knee, jeans and shorts are strictly prohibited.

Past honors

MUN has always been an important means for international schools to cultivate students' overall outlook. Students from the International Department of Suzhou No.1 High School of Jiangsu Province have won many awards in previous conferences.

For example, the representatives of our school Fu Liangjun, Shen Xuancheng, Sun Yijing, Wang Jiayue and Zhang Shumeng participated in and won the "best style award", "outstanding representative Award" and "excellent organization award" at the 2019 KYMUN Zhenze United Nations Conference; the representatives of our school Wang Jiayue, Zhou Yancheng, Gao Changyuan, Feng Yifan and Zou Mingyi won the "outstanding organization award" at the 2019 eighth Pan Yangtze River Delta High School Model United Nations Conference "Report", "outstanding representative", "best style", "honorary nomination" awards.

We firmly believe that this activity will help students develop their "public speaking skills", "teamwork ability", "leadership ability" and "oral English ability", and also truly embody the educational philosophy of "learning Chinese and western, learning for life" of the International Department of Suzhou No.1 High School.

Let's look forward to the excellent performance of high school students in this simulation of the United Nations!
