Model United Nations Conference

The Model United Nations is a set of programs that are implemented across the nation and the

globe with the aim of advancing knowledge about the UN, enlightening participants about global

issues, and advancing peace and the UN's work through collaboration and diplomacy. The students

of Whitehall School had the privilege of attending a Model United Nations conference at Little

Scholars School, Kashipur, from 26th of April to 28th of April, these three days in Model UN

conferences fostered the development of many different types of talents in each of the students

including cooperation, persuasive and expository writing and negotiation—skills crucial for one's

own growth and future success. Many prominent figures in the legal, political, corporate, and artistic

spheres today—including those at the UN itself—participated in Model UN as students.

The first day, ie., 26th April started with the opening ceremony, the host school warmly welcomed

all the participating schools with some delightful performances, including a soulful Saraswati

Vandana, energetic fusion dance and a motivating speech by Ted X Speaker, Mr. Deep Nagpal,

followed by a briefing on the conference by Mr. Prashant Nagpal.

The second day was marked by the onset of debate and discussion in the various committees -

AIPPM, UNSC, G-77, UN Women, UNODC, IPL Auctions, and Superheroes Conclave. Where the

students took on the roles of delegates, speakers, and chairs, representing different countries and

worked together with other students from different backgrounds to take part in discussions and

reach a solution for the agenda they were assigned. The participants were invigorated by the

enthusiasm of all the delegates. It was an enriching learning experience for the students as it

brought together diverse opinions of an increasingly interdependent world to make collective

decisions for the betterment of all.

The last day was all about challenging other delegates and drafting as well as passing significant

resolutions regarding the agendas and collectively looking for solutions, it indeed provided an

interactive educational experience that inculcated in the students a sense of collective responsibility

and collaboration in an interesting and enjoyable way. It was followed by the closing ceremony

which was a feast to the soul as some nostalgic melodies were played by the school band. Lastly, Mr

Prashant Nagpal announced the results, Angel Bhola, grade XII D won the High Commendation in the

AIPPM Committee and Aashish Dalakoti of grade X B won the verbal mention in the Superheroes

Conclave. The whole experience was rather rewarding and empowering for all the students as they

helped the students work on their skills of negotiation, conflict resolution, cooperation and research

analysis.
