DPS Model United
Nations( DPSMUN) , the first ever youth leadership
program in the U.A.E, was set in motion in 2002 and hosted by DPS Sharjah.
It has grown from an intra-school event to a mega inter-school event in
six years. The MUN 2007 was attended by
180 delegates from 21 schools from GCC and
Asian countries.
The students don the mantle of
ambassadors of member nations and discuss, debate, and draft
resolutions on contemporary issues
like Eradication of Illicit Drug Crops and
alternative development, Verification of
Disarmament, Social Responsibility of the
Private Sector, and so on.
The training session for the delegates held
prior to the event offers the delegates a
clear understanding of UN procedures and
important terms such as drafts, resolutions
and caucuses. Students from
participating schools turn up for the mock
session wearing their chosen country's
traditional attire.
The Inaugural ceremony and the Closing
Ceremony
are attended by dignitaries from the
Government, foreign services and
international organizations like the UNDP. |
