Hyderabad June 29, 2024: MISMUN 24, Meru International School’s prestigious Model United Nations (MUN), provides a distinguished forum for 300 students from over 40 schools, representing diverse backgrounds and fostering inclusivity. This simulation of the United Nations, where each delegate embodies a country, serves as a critical platform for global cooperation. Kicking off on June 28th, 2024, this year’s event epitomizes the school’s commitment to preparing students for diplomatic discourse and international relations.
In an era where global cooperation is paramount, MISMUN 24 committees include the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), United Nations Security Council (UNSC), United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), Disarmament and International Security Committee (DISEC), World Health Organization (WHO), North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Lok Sabha) and Crisis Coordination Committee (CCC).
The MISMUN 24 opening ceremony sparked with the principal’s inspiring call for diplomacy and global collaboration. The art of debate, rooted in ancient Greek forums and honed through centuries of parliamentary tradition, finds new life in the voices of these young delegates. As they tackle pressing global issues, they’re not just arguing points—they’re shaping their futures as critical thinkers, empathetic leaders, and articulate global citizens.
British Deputy High Commissioner, Mr. Gareth Wynn Owen, set the tone with his challenge: “Never compromise for the lowest common denominator.” His words echo the spirit of great diplomats throughout history, from Metternich to Kissinger, who understood that true progress often requires reaching beyond the obvious.
Meghana Gorukanti Jupally, Founder and Director of Meru International School, endures to innovate with initiatives like MISMUN, fostering critical and creative thinking among students after the success of MISMUN 23. Nurturing Meru as her brainchild, Meghana consistently introduces engaging programs like M-CLAP and Meru Avinya, demonstrating her steadfast commitment to providing the finest educational experiences for her students.
The impact of such events extends far beyond the conference halls. As MISMUN 24 unfolds over three days of rigorous debate and collaborative problem-solving, it promises to be more than just a simulation. It’s a glimpse into a future where diplomacy triumphs over discord, and where the leaders of tomorrow are already hard at work solving the challenges of today.
