From December 6th to 8th, the YCIS  Chongqing campus had the distinct honor of hosting the inaugural YCYW Model United Nations (MUN), a landmark event that brought together students from our Shanghai and Qingdao campuses. This pioneering initiative provided an invaluable platform for students to engage in a simulation of the United Nations, fostering a deeper understanding of international diplomacy and global issues.

The event was a resounding success, offering students the unique opportunity to represent various countries and engage in rigorous debates and discussions. By stepping into the shoes of diplomats, participants developed critical skills in public speaking, negotiation, and consensus-building. The MUN experience also encouraged students to conduct thorough research on global issues, enhancing their analytical abilities and broadening their perspectives on world affairs.

The significance of hosting such an event cannot be overstated. It not only nurtures essential skills that are pivotal in today's interconnected world but also instills a sense of global citizenship among students. The collaborative nature of MUN promotes teamwork and respect for diverse viewpoints, which are crucial attributes in fostering a harmonious global community.

The inaugural YCYW Model United Nations at the CQ campus was not just an event but a significant step towards cultivating a generation of thoughtful, articulate, and globally-minded individuals. It is clear that the Model United Nations should become a staple in our educational programmes. We look forward to future editions and the continued development of our students' skills and global awareness.
