MUN

Model United Nations (MUN) is what the name proclaims: A simulation of the real United Nations. As delegates, students step into the shoes of ambassadors from UN member states to debate current issues on the organisation's vast agenda. In their role as UN representatives they gain an insight into the workings of the United Nations, develop research, public speaking and diplomacy skills and have the unique opportunity to learn about the politics of the nation they represent.

For ISH students MUN activities also include the opportunity to attend other conferences including The Hague International Model United Nations (THIMUN), the world's largest MUN conference for secondary school students. They also coordinate and lead MUNISH, our school's annual conference.

MUNISH is held in November and is organised by Year 13 students under the guidance of two members of staff. It hosts over 500 students from both inside and outside of The Netherlands.

Students in Years 10 - 13 are invited to take part in MUN. Although some MUN activities are offered only to senior school students, the MUNISH conference offers older Middle Years students opportunities for participation in the areas of administration, communication and catering in addition to delegate roles.
