On November 11-12, Dalian American International School students participated in the MUN Fall 2022 Conference held on our campus. The theme of this year's conference was "Embracing Sustainability." All four committees, namely General Assembly, Human Right Council, Security Council, and the Commission on the Status of Women discussed sustainable development, global poverty and hunger, revitalization and growth in the aftermath of the global crisis that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, and other issues of the modern world.
Preparing for the conference, students take on the role of a delegate of a country and write academic country reports, position papers and resolutions based on topics from specific committees. Critical thinking skills alongside character values help students develop innovative, inclusive, and creative solutions to problems such as but not limited to racism, the climate crisis, gender inequality, and economic and social issues.
Congratulations to the award-winning students:
| Best Delegate | Outstanding Delegate | |
|---|---|---|
| General Assembly | Joni Li | Spring Bian |
| Human Rights Council | Misa Irie | JinGang Lin |
| Security Council | Julius Chen | Natalie He |
| Commission on the Status of Women | Hanna Cho | Ashton Liu |
