Felsted School hosted its sixth Model United Nations conference on 1st – 2nd March. Pupils, some from as far afield as Morocco and Germany, made their way to Felsted to debate the global recognition of the severity of AIDS and topics centred around issues surrounding sexual health and disease, which allowed debate on a huge array of controversial issues, such as prostitution, contraception and many more.
All 240 students from the 18 schools represented, played a full part in the conference, and were totally engrossed in the array of topics being debated.
The Felsted Sixth Form students once again led the way in preparations for the conference, both in chairing and providing administration support during the conference. In particular, Sebi Anderson proved an excellent Secretary General.
Rebecca Lagden, the MUN coordinator at Felsted, commented;“As the conference coincided with the UN's Zero Discrimination Day, delegates were encouraged to display tolerance and respect in their interactions; representing various countries and cultures at MUN helps bring home the reality that we don't share the same beliefs and ideas globally; it teaches the students question ideas whilst respecting the individuals."
