International Model United Nation Conference (IMUNc)

International Model United Nation Conference (IMUNc).

During the June holidays, most of our EVGians spent their time hanging out with friends, playing computer games, and even studying. However 12 of our students from the Debate club, NE ambassadors as well as the Good English Model (GEMS) attended a three day conference held at the Anglo Chinese School Independent (ACSI) known as the International Model United Nation Conference (IMUNc).

IMUNc is an annual high school Model United Nations Conference. In IMUNc, students get to experience being high-level delegates representing countries whereby they expose themselves to the features of international relations in the real world. IMUNc was definitely an exciting opportunity for our students to propose resolutions and respond to global issues.

This year's IMUNc featured councils like the [HGA-1994] General Assembly, 1994, whereby they discussed issues like the US Embargo on Cuba and the Rwandan Crisis, as well as North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), whereby they brainstormed on issues like Operations in Afghanistan and Iraq and Expansion and Relations with SCO. Not only did they do a lot of research for their respective issues, they also had to propose resolutions to solve those issues.

"Getting to know people from other schools and have a great learning experience together is indeed an eye-opener," says Nur Fariza Bte Juffri.

It was definitely not an all work and no play situation here. Our EVGians have gained a lot of experience, be it in the aspects of language, debating skills as well as getting to befriend students of other schools. They are indeed looking forward to going to their next conference in the up-coming year.
