BRS the only school in China invited and designated 5 students to attend the FerMUN 2019

The opening ceremony of FerMUN 2019 kicked off in the Assembly Hall of the United Nations Office in Geneva on January 16, with debates following at the World Intellectual Property Organization. MUN is an activity that encourages students to participate in international relations and diplomacy by simulating the United Nations and its debate protocol. The activity attracted 700 young participants from 50 schools, 27 countries and 5 continents. Beijing Royal School was the only school in China invited and designated 5 Grade 12 students to attend, of whom 3 were awarded the Top 3 in China in the 2018 SDGo Challenge. The BRS team supports the FerMUN 2019 goal of working with talented peers from anywhere in the world. We hope that our students, through actively engaging in the activities, can become familiar with the mechanics of our contemporary, global society; actively and respectfully engage in solving current issues and discussing hot-topics; and learn how to engage and understand different points of view by embracing each others’ cultural identity.
