DCMUN II attracted 60 delegates from five schools namely Dulwich international high school, Dulwich College Shanghai, Shanghai Foreign Languages University Affiliated Foreign Languages School, Xinwai School and UWC Changshu.

The theme of the conference was future hope. Delegates were able to establish a global mind set and the enhance the ability of group work. The simulation urged participating delegates to use lessons learned to pursue efforts towards a better world, with understanding that is more common and concrete solution to global issues.

Apart from the serious academy side of the conference, the students had a great time at the social event which helped them to release some of the intense pressure of the conference and to make new friends. The gala dinner on Saturday night was particularly successful. Thanks to all the students and staff whose valuable contributions made DCMUN II agreat success.
