Nurturing Diplomacy and Advocacy: Reflecting on SNSFMUN 2023
The Fourth Edition of the Shiv Nadar School Faridabad Model United Nations Conference, in association with Alma College, Michigan, continues to allow our young delegates to consider and deliberate on conflicting and diverse ideas, broaden their horizons, and push the boundaries of thought and knowledge.
In a world marked by diversity, progress, and interconnectedness, the concept of human rights stands as a cornerstone of justice and equality. Human rights are the pivot of human dignity.
In our committees at Shiv Nadar School Faridabad Model United Nations 023, we encourage dialogue and critical thinking to promote awareness and understanding of human rights issues. The three-week-long training sessions that will culminate on August 4–5, 2023, will always remain with the student participants and continue to play a role in their dialogues on relevant platforms.
As the Secretariat, it has been a learning experience for us, keeping in mind the diversity of tasks, managing our personal schedules, and liaising with the international interns vis-à-vis the delegates, both from our school as well as outside. We have become adept at website design, managing social media platforms, answering numerous queries, and making decisions that we never thought we could. We have been heard. And we hope to instill this feeling in everyone involved in this experiential journey called SNSFMUN ‘23.
