In a world that can often feel chaotic, how do we discover and uphold the values that unite us? This question was at the heart of\u00a0UISZ\u2019s third Model United Nations conference, PACKMUN III<\/strong>, which carried the theme \u201cConfirming Values Amidst Conflict.<\/em><\/strong>\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s student-led conference saw important growth. For the first time, the event spanned three full days and was held at our excellent ULC facility, which offers a beautiful view of Golden Lake. It was also the first time we welcomed students from outside our campus – a group of delegates and chairs from UISZ joined the conference, adding a valuable outside perspective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MUN<\/em><\/strong> is a popular extracurricular activity in many international schools. Students take on the role of a country and then must defend its stance on a given issue, much like they would do at a real United Nations Assembly. Each student, or \u201cdelegate,\u201d is in a committee where a given topic is discussed. \u201cChairs\u201d then moderate and oversee these sessions, ensuring they match the rules of \u201cparliamentary procedure.\u201d They then must band together with other delegates and pass a resolution that would attempt to solve the problem discussed in their respective committees. Students last weekend discussed a wide range of global issues, including recent United States tariff policies and the destruction of cultural heritage sites in conflict zones – an issue that affects many nations. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference opened on the 29th with inspiring speeches from MUN Director Dr. Roy and Head of Secondary Mr. Grist. They encouraged students to practice diplomacy and seek mutual benefit in their interactions. Mr. Grist compared MUN debate to a dance rather than a battle. He explained that, unlike a military conflict where there is a clear victor,\u00a0debate at UISZ should be like a coordinated dance – partners working together with grace and respect, guided by shared values of inclusivity and global-mindedness.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the opening, students began presenting their speeches. MUN helps students improve public speaking<\/strong> through short but powerful presentations. It also requires them to see the world from another country\u2019s point of view, helping them develop empathy for cultures they may not be familiar with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
