Five students from the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ Model United Nations Club (BISMUN Club) attended The Hague International Model United Nations (THIMUN) early this year. Their participation in this conference allowed them to develop their understanding of diplomacy, international relations and the inner workings of the UN. They tackled complex geopolitical issues such as force-feeding girls in South Africa, tackling Jihad, social media corporations and their data privacy policies, etc.

Participating at the THIMUN with over 3000 delegates helped the BISMUN Club students to practice their public speaking, debating skills and their understanding of technical legal language. Working at the conference with 150 nationalities the BISMUN Club students encountered an internationally diverse environment and made connections with people from all around the globe.

THIMUN took place at the International Forum in Hague where many world leaders have spoken and made important geopolitical agreements. By being there the BISMUN Club students were able to experience the same formality and prestige as experienced by many high-level diplomats and world leaders.

In their free time, the BISMUN Club had the chance to visit two universities in Amsterdam, multiple museums and observe a trial at the International Mechanisms for Criminal Tribunals.

The trip gave our students a uniquely practical experience to put into practice what would otherwise be taught in the classrooms. For more information about the activities of the BISMUN club, you can follow them on Instagram @bismunclub.

Paul Wade, Deputy Principal

Over the weekend of the 22nd-24th November it was our pleasure, at the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ Belgrade, to host our inaugural Model United Nations Conference. The concept of ‘Model United Nations’ is for young people to mirror the committees and working practices of the UN at school and community level.

The conference brought together students from all over the region, representing more than 20 countries and talking on behalf of all nations of the UN. Delegates discussed topics as varied as the Kashmir, immigration, the South China Sea and Crimea. Everyone took an active part, explored new ideas and made new friends.

We are already looking forward to organising next year’s event. The BIS mission states that we want to develop internationally minded students who will make a positive contribution to society and we believe that the MUN conference did just that.

The ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ Model United Nations Club has organised an exciting new international cooperation with the Edinburgh University Model United Nations Society through their TeachMUN program.

As part of this cooperation, two representatives from the TeachMUN program visited Belgrade inorder to provide the BISMUN Club with a workshop dedicated to teaching potential delegates about the rules of procedure for the upcoming BISMUN Conference. The visits, on the 24th and 29th November gave our Model United Nations delegates an invaluable insight into the process of running a MUN conference.

We now look forward to hosting the conference and welcoming students from other international schools in Belgrade and beyond.
