THE SHEMFORD MUN


Model United Nations (MUN) is an activity that blends traditional debating with in-depth research on realworld issues discussed at the United Nations. This activity has become an essential part of co-curricular learning, broadening students’ perspectives. In MUNs, students take on the role of delegates representing various countries, advocating views based on their assigned nation's position. It enhances their global awareness of critical issues likely to be addressed on international platforms such as the United Nations, while also improving their debating and research skills. MUN fosters effective communication, boosting students' confidence and public speaking abilities. These skills are valuable not only in MUN competitions but also in other academic and professional contexts, such as interviews or group discussions. By engaging with diverse topics, MUN helps students broaden their analytical thinking, refine their evaluative skills, and become more aware of the world around them. Ultimately, this experience contributes to their development as better, more informed individuals and future leaders.

SHEMFORDIANS have displayed a strong enthusiasm for MUNs, with active participation each year. It is a source of great pride for us that, in addition to hosting the SHEMFORD Model United Nations Conference, our students consistently win accolades at every MUN they attend. Their determination and success reaffirm our belief in the power of constructive and persuasive dialogue.
