Model United Nation in Fraser International College

Delegates Representing Ukraine
I attended the final session of the Spring 2017 Model United Nations in Fraser International College earlier today. This is a model meeting of the United Nations heads of governments that is organized in Fraser International College by a committee of student alumnus. This semester, there were no less than twelve teams competing for the various awards. Each team comprises of two members representing a selected country. And these representatives are delegates to the country they represent in the session.

Model United Nations in Session
The Model United Nations sessions started off with the ten minutes presentations by delegates of each country, presenting their views and points on the motion of role of The United Nations as a peace keeper. It took slightly more than two hours for each of the country's delegates to present their country's stand on the role of The United Nations before a recess was called. And when the meeting was called to order again, it was for the debate session.

Spring 2017 Model United Nations
I have been attending the Model United Nations in Fraser International College since the program started and over the years seen a vast improvement in number of participants, quality of presentations and the intensity of the debates. And this morning was nothing short of excitement and intensity. There were students going at each other and can't wait their turns to speak. Everyone of the delegate just wanted to be heard. This is a very good sign of student participation and wanting to make a difference.
