MODEL UNITED NATIONS (MUN)
As said by Antonio Gueterres, United Nations Secretary General “We want the world our children inherit to be defined by the values enshrined in the U.N. Charter: peace, justice, respect, human rights, tolerance and solidarity.”
Model United Nations is a simulation of United Nations where delegates get an opportunity to discuss various International issues urging for immediate attention and seek best possible solution.
It offers students a platform to broaden their horizon of learning, bring out and enhance their latent skills such as, leadership, diplomacy, communication, confidence and public speaking. Motivating the students through such events to research independently and think critically on global issues significantly contributes to their holistic development thus empowering them to face the challenges of life.
We have been organising Inter – School Shaheed Rajpal DAV Model United Nations Conference (SRDAVMUN) since 2019. It is a humble and sincere effort to work incessantly towards the challenge of molding a new generation of students into holistic personalities equipped with the life skills and values necessary to take up challenges of the future.
This year we organized Junior MUN in which students of classes 5 & 6 took part enthusiastically. The novice initiative was a successful venture.
