40th Anniversary of Royal Russell School’s International Model United Nations

Royal Russell School hosts an annual four day International Model United Nations (MUN) Conference each October.

The 2022 event marked the 40th anniversary of the Royal Russell International Model United Nations; a conference which sees pupils from all over the world join together to discuss some of the World’s most important issues.

Model United Nations provides a unique opportunity for young people to investigate the origin of, and background to, many of the problems and issues in the world today; and by seeking, through discussion, negotiation and debate, solutions to various problems which enables them to develop a far better understanding and appreciation of current global affairs.

The research and preparation required, the adoption of views and attitudes other than their own, the involvement and interaction with so many other young people, all combine to give the students a deep insight into the World’s problems and also make them aware of the causes of conflict between nations and lead them to a better understanding of the interests and motivations of others.

In addition to the usual fantastic conference content, there were also 40th anniversary events which saw former Headmasters of Royal Russell School and former MUN Directors as well as Alumni who held Officer roles from the 1980s to present reconnect to reflect upon the achievements of the staff and pupils over the last four decades.
