ILG MUN III

On 1-2 November 2024, ILG held its third Model UN and was thrilled to welcome 87 students and delegates from five schools across two countries. Model United Nations is more than just an educational simulation, it’s an opportunity for students to step into the shoes of diplomats, tackle real-world challenges, and develop critical skills like public speaking, problem-solving, and teamwork.

Over two days, our delegates debated pressing global issues, from environmental protection to human rights, and crafted thoughtful solutions. ILG hopes every participant left the conference more open-minded, compassionate, and globally conscious.

Here’s to shaping the leaders of tomorrow!
