This year, Model United Nations (MUN) has become a hot topic in Futian middle schools because every school has founded an MUN club. The young members discussed some global issues like children's education and water problems. The 2018 Futian MUN Youth Conference (会议) took place in Futian Shixia School on December 18th. About 60 student delegates (代表) from thirteen junior high schools came together to listen, present, debate, and offer solutions to our planet's most serious problem. The theme was carbon emissions (碳排量) and global climate.
In the Futian MUN, a team of four named Beyond, from Futian Foreign Language School, attended this conference as one of the 14 teams from Futian schools. This team entered two rounds of MUN competitions before reaching the final. During the meeting, they played the role of British delegates. They made speeches and debated how to reduce Carbon emission. They exchanged ideas with student delegates from other teams. They worked hard to find solutions to the global climate problems.
MUN offers a fantastic program to the youth worldwide. It provides the students a platform to improve their English, critical (批判的) thinking and communicative skills. In MUN, student delegates step into the shoes of ambassador (大使) from UN member countries to debate the latest problems. Any student can take part in MUN, as long as they have the dream to learn something new and to work with people to try and make a difference in the world.
