At the conclusion of the Model United Nations (MUN) course, the National Training Center collaborated with Shenzhen Futian District Xinlian Primary School to host an outstanding simulated UN conference. Focusing on the theme "Education Promoting Sustainable Development Goals," the event aimed to nurture global vision and problem-solving capabilities in addressing international issues among youth.
During the conference, these "junior diplomats" conducted in-depth discussions about education's pivotal role in achieving sustainable development goals. Through both moderated and unmoderated caucuses, they engaged in public speaking, negotiation consultations, document drafting, and voting procedures. Participants analyzed education's significance in driving economic growth, social justice, environmental protection, and proposed innovative solutions. The session culminated in delegates adopting a consensus-based resolution through voting, demonstrating not only students' profound understanding of SDGs but also showcasing their leadership potential and sense of responsibility.
Students unanimously reported that the MUN experience significantly broadened their horizons while enhancing communication skills and team spirit. School administrators and parents observing the event praised students' remarkable performances, expressing admiration for children's demonstrated capabilities.
Behind this successful conference lay a meticulously designed English-immersion MUN curriculum jointly developed by the National Training Center and Xinlian Primary School. The program integrated world geography, international affairs, public speaking techniques, and debate strategies with practical conference simulations, ensuring students could apply acquired knowledge in real-world scenarios. Through this program, participants not only improved English proficiency but also deepened their understanding of global political, economic, and cultural issues.
Xinlian Primary School's MUN curriculum and conference practice complement each other, creating an integrated platform for students to showcase talents and foster growth. We believe such MUN experiences enable students to better comprehend international complexities, develop global citizenship awareness, and establish solid foundations for future academic and life challenges.
