Pretending we are are older: Model United Nations

Over the past 11 weeks, I have been taking part in the Model United Nations club at Kisu. Model United Nations aims to highlight the similar structure of the real United Nations, requiring us to carry out actions as a responsible body. We have been discussing world issues such as the Syrian Crisis/civil war, economic crisis in the European Union and LGBT rights around the world. Since the topics were looked at from different perspectives, I believe MUN has greatly helped my tolerance towards others with different opinions as we were forced to listen to each other and argue with valid arguments. At first I was reluctant to join MUN, however now I really appreciate the fact that I am in the club. I have been selected as one of the 6 students that will represent our school at the MUN conference in Qatar. I believe this a great opportunity for me to integrate and discuss world and ethical issues with the international world and I am looking forward to represent my school with joy and honour. All in all, I belive MUN has taught me to collaborate with others in order to achieve a common goal and also help me develop new skills as I am not used to arguing to get my point across. I am greatly looking forward to the the conference to be held in Qatar.
