City students take part in Model United Nations Conference

Mysuru: A team of 20 student delegates from National Public School International (NPSI), Mysuru, representing various countries and the four organs of the United Nations took part in the Model United Nations (MUN) Conference held from Nov.10 to Nov.12 at De Paul International School. The four organs namely, UNGA (United Nations General Assembly), UNDP (United Nations Development Programme), FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) and WHO (World Health Organisation) had specific agendas like Gender Equality, Eradication of Poverty, Reduction of Global Food Wastage and Providing Water and Sanitation for All . MUN, as a simulation of the United Nations, gives students a chance to stand up for issues that matter to the world today. The Conference offers students the opportunity to connect and form friendships and alliances beyond their community. There were eight other schools from Mysuru that participated in this competition. This event helped student delegates to increase their knowledge of diplomacy and develop the skills of critical analysis, public speaking, and negotiation. Seven students from NPSI were awarded the title of ‘Best Diplomats’ at the conference.
