A Captivating Journey at CISSMUN
On February 14th – 16th, 26 of our Year 10, 11, and 12 students participated in one of Asia's largest MUN conferences for high school students, CISSMUN (Concordia International School Shanghai MUN). This marks the largest delegation we’ve sent since the establishment of our MUN Club, and we could not be prouder of their achievement in completing the requirements of the conference as a delegate!
This year, over 800 delegates from 58 schools across China and beyond gathered for an intensive three-day event. Our students delivered speeches, engaged in discussions, and debated alongside peers from around the world, working collaboratively to develop resolutions for some of today’s most pressing global issues.

Their hard work and dedication truly shone through, and they have gained invaluable experience from this event. We are excited to share their reflections on this incredible journey and the lessons they learned along the way:
This marked my fourth conference in my MUN journey, and I’ve grown more familiar with the procedures, from asking POIs to delivering speeches, all of which I now handle with greater confidence compared to when I first started. This conference was a fantastic opportunity to meet people from around the world and forge new friendships. Participating in such events helps me sharpen my spoken English and deepen my understanding of global issues through engaging discussions with fellow delegates.

MUN, in short, is a group of high schoolers roleplaying as countries. To my younger self, the idea seemed more theatrical than practical. But after an amazing weekend, I truly grasped what makes MUN so special and loved. It’s the passion of the delegates, striving to achieve what they believe is best for their assigned nations. They say the youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow, and MUN embodies that idea.

Nearly everything that happened during the conference felt a bit out of my comfort zone. If I were to offer advice, I’d say not to judge anyone by their age or nationality. Languages, too, can act as both swords and shields, which is why building strong linguistic skills is crucial—they might just help us secure a prominent place in the world someday. Patience, observation, and a willingness to learn are key to succeed.
