Creativity- Model United Nations

During our weekly MUN meetings, supervised by Mrs. Craig, we usually research countries views on legislations, learning about the facets about current issues, and debate matters ranging from women’s rights to superheroes best suited to lead the world towards world peace. By being a member of the Model United nations, we learn about current events and how different Nations respond to cultural differences.
The meetings last 2 hours, and take place every Wednesday at school

the PAMUN Confference not only was a fantastic opportunity to meet new people from different schools but also to improve public speaking and organization skills, which were my two main goals when I joined MUN. This year, the American School of Paris Hosted the PAMUN conference at the United Nations Headquarters near the Eiffel Tour. I represented Lesotho in the Human Rights committee and in our debates; we discussed women’s rights and religious freedom and successfully reached a resolution.
Prior to the conference, seven PAMUN delegates and I researched and developed clauses together during school. For the grade 11’s these hours went towards our CAS logs, but for the younger students, PAMUN prepared them for future conferences later in the year. Other committees my PAMUN grade eleven’s took part in were, Defense (Lesotho, Jerome Bergeron), and Political (Lesotho, Simon Craig). The PAMUN conference was a great experience for all of us, especially since it was the first conference for majority of the ISP Model United Nations group.
