Bangkok--13 Mar--Prem Tinsulanonda International School
On 20 - 21 March 2015, the biggest ever Chiang Mai Model United Nations conference (CMMUN) will be hosted at Prem Tinsulanonda International School in Mae Rim, Chiang Mai.
The theme for the conference is ‘Human Rights: Freedom from fear’ as issues related to Human Rights are extensive and widespread yet relevant and accessible to our students. Students will be debating in one of five Model United Nations Committee’s; the Economic and Social council, the Environment program, the Human Rights council, the Disarmament commission and the Security Council. They will be debating and trying to resolve a variety of issues ranging from child marriage, to the recruitment of young people by terrorist groups, the accessibility of secure food and water and sustainable production and consumption patterns.
This conference will see participation from schools in Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Bangkok, most of whom will be staying overnight at Prem in the Visiting Schools Program (VSP) accommodation. Prem has the most students it has ever had participating in MUN – with 35 student delegates representing United Nations member states, the International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme (IBCP) hospitality class, and grade 6 and 7 student pages who will assist during the conference debate. In total over 200 students will be involved and it promises to be a conference filled with intensity and rigorous debate, as well as enjoyment and new friendships, as we work together to try and come up with solutions to some of the world’s most pressing issues.
