Haileybury Astana ASTMUN Conference 2021
MUN (Model United Nations) is a fantastic opportunity for young people to engage with global issues in a meaningful and creative way. Over a three-day event, these young delegates take on the role of UN ambassadors for different countries developing their communication skills, negotiation skills, political awareness, and global understanding.
⠀
We have 15 pupils from Haileybury taking part in the online event hosted by QSI (ASTMUN) this year from KS3, 4 and 5: it really is an opportunity for all pupils to be involved. This year they are discussing a range of topics such as freedom of the press and journalist safety, the response to the COVID-19 pandemic and ethnic cleansing - our pupils are faced with the most current and challenging of issues.
⠀
We wish them the best of luck as they work together to find solutions to these difficult problems!

Many thanks to Rachel Breckon, our MUN Director.
