Empowering Global Youth: Shiv Nadar School Faridabad Hosts Sixth Edition of Model United Nations in Collaboration with Alma College
Shiv Nadar School Faridabad Hosts the Sixth Edition of Model United Nations Conference in Collaboration with Alma College, Michigan
The Sixth Edition of the Shiv Nadar School Faridabad Model United Nations (SNSFMUN) Conference, in partnership with Alma College, Michigan, provided a dynamic platform for our young delegates to engage with complex global issues, broaden their perspectives, and challenge conventional thought.
In a world increasingly defined by diversity, progress, and interconnectedness, the themes of climate change and sustainability are more critical than ever. At the SNSFMUN 2024, we fostered dialogue and critical thinking in our committees, encouraging participants to deepen their understanding of global perspectives on climate-related challenges.
Over three weeks of intensive training, culminating on July 29, 2024, our student participants honed their skills and prepared to engage meaningfully on relevant platforms. The efforts of the Secretariat were pivotal to the success of this event. Juggling diverse tasks, managing academic responsibilities, and liaising with international interns across three campuses, our students gained invaluable experience. They became proficient in website design, social media management, and decision-making under pressure.
The conference featured six committees—UNEA, UNHCR, UNCSW, WHO, and UNGA—comprising around 200 delegates from schools across Delhi NCR. Chaired by 11 interns from Alma College and senior students from Shiv Nadar School Faridabad, these committees served as vibrant hubs of debate and collaboration.
The event commenced with a captivating Kathak performance by students from the AHA Kathak basket, followed by inspiring speeches from our esteemed guests. IAS Officer Shri Sanjay Joon, Colonel Gopal Karunakaran, CEO of Shiv Nadar Schools, and keynote speaker Mr. Mozaharul Alam from UNEA highlighted the vital role of youth advocacy in shaping the future. They called upon the youth to act now to drive the change the world needs.
Throughout the conference, delegates engaged in rigorous discussions, crafting solutions to pressing global issues. The event concluded with a gala, where awards were presented amidst speeches by Professor Derick Hulme from Alma College, Michigan, and Director Principal Mrs. Anju Wal. The school choir’s mesmerizing performance added a perfect touch to the closing ceremony, and the evening's social event brought the conference to a celebratory close.
As we reflect on the immense satisfaction and gratitude felt by all who contributed to making SNSFMUN 2024 a reality, we sign off, proud of our achievements and ready to return to the academic challenges ahead.

Our holistic and well-rounded education system at Shiv Nadar School is designed to create a balance that is critical for our students to stay the course. We aim to build thinking students who become the finest communicators, problem solvers, and individuals with international-mindedness and creative prowess.
The goal of our school is certainly academic excellence, but it’s not the only goal. We aim to instill in our students universal values and timeless qualities such as resilience, integrity, commitment, kindness, gratitude, and respect. These values are built through lived experiences and impressions of a Shiv Nadar School life.
If our students remain lifelong learners and carry a sense of joy in everything they do, we believe our vision is translated in each one of them.
We balance multiple boards, and the equilibrium between IB, IGCSE, and CBSE is key to learning and skill-building in our school.

Shiv Nadar School Faridabad Brown Team Wins Silver Medal in Ethics Olympiad
The Brown team of Shiv Nadar School Faridabad won a Silver medal in the first round of the Ethics Olympiad, marking the second consecutive year they have achieved this feat. This was the second time our school participated in The Ethics Olympiad and won the Silver medal for the second time. The team is preparing for the final round in July and we have high hopes of winning that too.
Ethics Olympiad provides schools and universities with a unique opportunity to develop skills in critical thinking, collaboration, and communication. It is designed to get students thinking and ultimately working together on some of the tough moral issues of our time. Our objective is to do more than just help them think through ethical issues: It provides a positive and constructive space to think through ethical issues together, as fellow citizens in a complex moral and political community.
The students (Eth-letes) are trained by a coach (usually a teacher) as they prepare for an Ethics Olympiad. Age-appropriate and interesting ethical cases are released each year, and these are provided to coaches before the event. We use Zoom to bring the teams together on the day, so all you need is access to the internet.
Senior High School Olympiads (15-18 years old) are held in May each year, and Middle School Ethics Olympiads (12-14 years old) are conducted in November. Junior School Ethics Olympiads (9-12 years old) are held in June and September. In 2023, the Australian Association of Practical and Applied Ethics will host the AAPAE Tertiary Ethics Olympiad (for university students) in October.
Celebrating the Joy of Summer!
During the final week before the summer break, a variety of activities were organized to celebrate the impending vacation. From making refreshing lemonade and Tang to frolicking in the cool spray of water sprinklers, learners indulged in moments of pure summer joy. An ice cream treat was savored, followed by a relaxing movie session that provided a perfect respite from the hot summer season.
The Kindergartners were amazed after attending a storytelling session by Ms. Nupur Aggarwal. Highly acclaimed for her ability to captivate audiences of all ages with her imaginative narratives and engaging storytelling style, Ms. Aggarwal truly enchanted our students. A special assembly on the story 'फल चले पिकनिक मनाने’ enacted by teachers added a touch of storytelling magic, capturing the essence of summer adventures.
Crafting sessions infused creativity into the atmosphere, as learners embraced the spirit of the season with summer-themed crafts. These activities not only provided entertainment but also fostered a sense of togetherness and anticipation for the upcoming break.
We were delighted to see our young learners start their summer break on a joyful note!
Igniting Imagination and Language Skills
At Shiv Nadar School, we believe in the transformative power of reading and storytelling. Events like these are integral to our educational philosophy, as they not only enhance language skills but also nurture creativity, empathy, and a love for learning. By providing our students with such enriching experiences, we aim to cultivate well-rounded individuals who are passionate about exploring the world through books and stories.
On May 21, 2024, Shiv Nadar School, Faridabad, hosted a captivating storytelling event for students in Kindergarten, Grades 1, 2, and 3. The session was led by the highly acclaimed storyteller, Ms. Nupur Aggarwal, whose imaginative narratives and engaging storytelling style enchanted our young learners.
A carefully selected assortment of stories was presented, catering to the varied interests of the age group. From classic folktales and rhymes to modern children's literature, each story was chosen to resonate with the students and stimulate their imaginations.
Ms. Aggarwal employed interactive storytelling techniques to engage the young audience. She encouraged participation by asking questions, inviting children to mimic actions, and prompting them to predict what might happen next in the story. This interactive approach not only kept the students captivated but also enhanced their comprehension and critical thinking skills.
The storytelling event with Ms. Nupur Aggarwal was a testament to our commitment to fostering a vibrant reading culture at Shiv Nadar School. We look forward to organizing more such events that inspire and delight our young learners, helping them develop a lifelong connection to the magical world of stories.
