Once again, a BDS student to participate in The Hague International Model UN

It is a pleasure to inform you that the S6L student, Alex Mysler, has been selected to comprise the THIMUN (The Hague International Model United Nations) Argentine delegation to travel to The Hague next January 2015.

Alex participated in the ESSARP Model UN that took place in June this year at Michael Ham Memorial College and at the THIMUN (The Hague Model United Nations) that took place in August in Montevideo, Uruguay (see photo).

Model United Nations is an academic simulation of the United Nations that aims to educate participants about current events, topics in international relations, diplomacy and the UN agenda. The participants role play as diplomats representing a country in a simulated session of an organ or committee of the UN. Participants have to research a country, investigate international issues and then develop solutions to world problems.

THIMUN has invited the Argentine delegation to take part in their international Model in the Netherlands for the second time. The selection process consisted of the following steps:

• Each school proposed an applicant.
• All applicants were interviewed by the two THIMUN coaches and the ESSARP Academic Director.

The selection panel expressed that the candidates proposed by the schools came to the interview well prepared, full of enthusiasm and with a genuine desire to contribute personally to the Argentine delegation.

We congratulate Alex, who will be representing BDS, ESSARP …and  Argentina! in The Hague.
