On November 6, the YCIS Qingdao Model United Nations team traveled to Seoul, South Korea to participate in the annual Seoul Model United Nations (SEOMUN) conference. YCIS Qingdao secondary students enjoyed the trip on many levels, as described by Year 12 student Chae Seo Young:
“SEOMUN 2014 has left me with the most brilliant memories in my three years of experience with the Model United Nations club at YCIS.
“This year involved many ‘first-time’ attempts: it was my first time to represent an organisation and to be alone in a committee. Without any familiar faces, it demanded much courage to raise the placard and be involved in the debate. However, with the help of the friendly Chairs and Co-Chairs leading the Environmental Commission, I, the delegate of the International Labor Organisation, successfully made speeches, raised several POIs, and had my resolution passed with zero votes against.
“From research, to drafting resolutions, to actual debates, SEOMUN 2014 was full of pleasure. Hope to see more MUNers next time!”
