Model United Nations Workshop at iLEAD 

iLEAD organized a workshop in association with Bhawanipur Education Society on Model United Nation campaign which is hosted in prestigious educational institutions throughout the world. The aim of this workshop is to create global leaders who are excellent speakers and have diplomatic skills to solve the major issues which impact global integrity and peace. The setup was a simulation of the actual United Nations assembly. The best solution provider from these campaigns is also given the chance to be a part of the original United Nations and his/her message is directly channelized to the main United Nations or its sub bodies. From the iLEAD, the students of Management and Media along with their respected teachers were also present in the occasion. The session was interactive where the representatives of the Bhawanipur Education Society and iLEAD discussed with each other about the nature and scope of the Model United Nations program. The workshop was conducted in two parts. In the initial part a brief introduction was given about the nature, scope and department of the United Nations along with the importance of Model United Nations for helping the main body for solving complex global political, strategic and diplomatic issues. A video was shown on the Model United Nations program where the students were participating in a simulated UN assembly and having discussion on all pertinent global issues.

The workshop also put light on the rules of action of the Model United Nations. After the initial session a group was chosen from the audience to make a mock Model United Nations and try to figure out the solution of a burning global issue. Several students and faculty of iLEAD asked the Bhawanipur Education Society representatives about how to deal with the complex issues of Feminisim, Islamophobia, Global terrorism and even how to cope up with the socio economic challenges of Africa. The workshop also focused on the fact that there is also a separate UN News Center where the students interested in writing, photography, designing can contribute their skill to publish a news letter on the happenings in various Mock United Nations Conferences.

The objective of this workshop was to create strong leadership and diplomatic skills among the students where their solutions to the major problems of the world will get a global platform and help the nations of the world build a better world of tomorrow.
