MUN Club Attends Conference in Denmark

Sixteen members of the Model United Nations Club at ISG Dammam attended an MUN conference in Birkerød, Denmark from February 22-26, 2023.  There were over 250 high school students in attendance from all over Europe and the Middle East.  Students participated in one of the eleven committees, focusing on a variety of pertinent global issues including disarmament and international security, crime prevention and criminal justice and issues facing the United Nations High Commission on Refugees.

Two ISG Dammam students, Maya and Noor were selected to chair committees during the conference, and students engaged in spirited debates, using facts and data to validate their positions.  The students from ISG Dammam represented the countries of Mexico and Gabon in their committees and were quite successful.  Maria won best delegate representing Mexico in the Commissions of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development.  Thawfiq won best delegate representing Mexico in the World Health Organization Committee. Maria, Yamen and Adam won the best delegation overall representing Mexico in the Commissions of the Economic and Social Council.

The students were able to explore a little bit of Copenhagen in their free time, taking a canal boat tour, visiting Christiansborg Palace and eating at delicious bakeries.  Congratulations to all our students, parents and teachers on this wonderful achievement.
