A team of TIS students attended the annual XiaMUN (Xiamen Model United Nations) conference in Xiamen, China from Nov 5-8. Model United Nations is a simulation of the United Nations work sessions. Participants are required to act like real UN delegates partaking in sessions of various UN committees. Each participant in a committee represents a different country. The delegate has to work, faithfully respecting the assigned country’s standpoint, to obtain the approval of documents that favor the assigned country and the collective interest.

Our students worked diligently with delegates from schools across China to find solutions to many of the global issues facing the world today. The students’ hard work paid off as many were able to find workable solutions and managed to get resolutions passed. Many new friendships were made and students are already looking ahead to the next conference!
