Mangaluru, Nov 5: With weeks of preparation and excitement embedded in them, 29 pupils of St Theresa’s School set out for Model United Nations held at St Aloysius Pre-University on November 1, 2 and 3.
It was an enriching experience for all, as most of the students were first timers to participate in MUN. There were five committees for High School level namely the General Assembly (GA), the LokSabha, United Nations Security Council (UNSC), Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) and the International Press. Students from various schools and colleges as delegates were in attendance to participate in this jubilant event. All three days of MUN were significant to everyone and the experience was worthwhile.
The students had to represent themselves in their respective committees as appointed delegates which was truly a stand of honour for everyone. There were five sessions for each committee filled with mature discussions, heated debates and expressive opinions and so on. MUN was thrilling and enchanting at the same time for it was a real world simulation of the greatest peacemaking associations all around the world. The committees felt surreal with the presence of a chairperson and rules of formality of addressing fellow delegates. An MUN is beneficial to every growing mind in enhancing his/her speaking skills and confidence and a salient feature of the MUN was socializing. This was a platform to make new friends and voice out opinions that will not go unheard; a world of sheer joy and enjoyment. The ambience was lovely and every moment here was memorable. The three days were spent and cherished by all in learning new things and strengthening the roots of public speaking.
The MUN experience from the opening ceremony to the closing was wonderful. The results had come out with flying colours for the Theresians who won the best delegation among all other schools as the students secured three places at the event namely Himanshu Shetty and Matthew Saldhana with High Commendation, Sai Pranav Kishan with Special Mention and Poorvi S with Honourable Mention. Holding the Best Delegation cup upstage was a real moment of pure jubilance to every Theresian. The journey was a true prize which will stand in their hearts forever.
