On Oct 28-29, SISB-Thonburi organised its first SISB Model United Nations (MUN) I Conference at the SISB Thonburi campus.
Alysha Sukkee, the CEO of AS Group Intertrade Co., Ltd. and Paranut “Alex” Juntree, a third-year undergraduate Political Science student majoring in International Relations, attended the conference as the Guest Speakers.
During the two days, there were a total of 91 participants, of which 69 participants were from SISB (Thonburi, Pracha Uthit, Chiang Mai and Nonthaburi) and 22 participants from other schools in Bangkok:
WK UWC-SA (United World College South Africa)
American School of Bangkok Green Valley
Ekamai International School
Thai Chinese International School
Harrow International School
Brighton College
Norwich International School
Mahidol University International Demonstration School
Satit Kaset
Open School International Community School of Bangkok
Sarasas Witaed Bangbon School
Triam Udom Suksa
Students were given different roles in different committees during the conference, such as Secretary-General, Chairs, delegates and Pages.
Our Secretary-General oversees the entire conference and ensures its smooth operation.
Our Chairs moderated the debate sessions, kept time, made rules on motions and enforced the rules.
Our delegates spent hours researching and ensuring information came from credible sources, ensuring they understood the topic, anticipating potential questions from the participating delegates, practising their answers, pushing themselves and passing good resolutions.
Our pages provided administrative support from the start of planning to the execution of the conference.
All students spent quality time exchanging ideas and networking with one another during the conference.
Indeed, MUN is one of the excellent platforms where students get to understand how the world works together at the United Nations, learn how to deal with several world issues imminently, build their confidence to express their views and improve their public speaking skills, learn how to research issues and gain confidence in the committee room. The platform aligns with SISB’s vision of preparing students to be scholars, leaders and global citizens.
Let’s congratulate all our participants on the successful completion of the two days of the MUN conference, and may they continue the journey in future MUNs.
