Zi L. (Year 12) recently took part in a Model United Nations conference hosted by the St Joseph’s Institution International School Malaysia, representing Egypt in the Human Rights Committee.
During the conference, students tackled some challenging and highly relevant issues, including how to better protect children from digital exploitation and how to respond to the ongoing refugee crisis in Sudan. These debates required careful thought, strong communication and the ability to work collaboratively with others.
Zi L. approached the conference with focus and determination. He contributed regularly to discussions, speaking clearly and putting forward well-considered ideas. He showed a good understanding of Egypt’s position while also engaging constructively with other delegates to find common ground.
Although he narrowly missed out on receiving a commendation, Zi L. played an important role in helping to move resolutions forward. His work in discussions, as well as behind the scenes through negotiation and drafting, helped the committee reach agreement on key proposals.
Overall, this was a strong performance. Zi L. represented the school well and made the most of the opportunity, developing his confidence and gaining valuable experience in debating global issues.
