The Model United Nations Conference organized by Darussafaka Schools MUN Club was held for the fourth time. 350 students from 21 different schools around Turkey participated in the conference and they wrote some resolutions bringing solutions to world-wide problems.
MUN is a simulation where high school and university students assume the roles of United Nations representatives, governments and civil society organizations and discuss the current issues. In MUN, participants use academic knowledge and language skills. It also provides intercultural interaction and fosters the sharing of ideas. It enables students to represent different views isolating themselves from individual thoughts and so improves their perspective of the world.
One of the most prestigious clubs in Darussafaka Schools, Darussafaka MUN Club has welcomed 350 students all over Turkey from 21 different countries, between October 13-16, 2016.
Darussafaka Model United Nations Conference organized by Darüssafaka MUN Club was held at Darussafaka Maslak Campus.
The Conference was able to continue to increase the number of participant schools as well as individual participants. The Conference continues to grow each year by 50 percent compared to last year.
Nearly 55 student delegates participated in “The United Nations Political Committee", discussing, debating and trying to find common solutions to problems of terrorism.
About 60 students participated in “The United Nations International Security and Disarmament Committee" and focused on international security and the negative atmosphere created by the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. This issue was taken up in the context of the official United Nations Procedure.
Students were so excited to be part of this international event, and passionate about finding solutions and alternatives to the general social, political and economic problems of the world.
We, as the Darussafaka Society, are so proud to see such successful students in our school.
