• On the impact of COVID-19 on humanitarian aid in conflict zones.

• On the establishment of an international convention regarding members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

• On the establishment of Permanent UN Observer Status for minority groups.

Joining MUN this year as a mentor for GA3, the Social, Cultural and Humanitarian Committee, Mr Smith is both excited and willing to learn about how he can help students develop their roles as delegates and apply their understanding of issues around the world into their own real-life context. 

As an Elementary School teacher, Mr Smith is pleased to be able to work with a high-school extracurricular activity to be able to see how students progress into action-oriented individuals. Moreover, he’s looking forwards to being able to understand how to create a more thorough foundation for all youth at UNIS Hanoi to be able to further their own initiatives and tackle real-world affairs. 

Thought not having any professional background in direct relation to social, cultural and humanitarian matters, Mr Smith has always been interested in politics and humanitarian issues. With his own research, he’s kept up to date with present and pressing issues and understands the complexities that can often be found with them. He also maintains relationships with active members of organisations or initiatives that work in correlation with these issues. 

Mr Smith hopes to be able to guide and assist delegates through the preparation and understanding of each of the topics of GA3 and is looking forward to a productive and positive conference. He believes that through extracurricular activities and active programs like Model United Nations, our school can truly work towards a more constructive future.

“Working at a school like UNIS, we are trying to instill the idea of activism at an earlier age… in order to understand our own influence and how to use it in the real world”.  - Nathan Smith 

Esteemed Directors, student officers, delegates, and guests, welcome to the UNIS MUN March Conference! My name is Sarah Anthony, and I am honoured to be able to serve as the Head Chair for GA3 this year. I’m a sophomore at UNIS Hanoi, and though this is my second time attending the UNIS MUN March Conference, I’ve attended 5 in total since Grade 7. This will be my first time as a chair, so I’m looking forward to learning as I go along and improving my skills. 

MUN has allowed me to become more aware of relevant issues around me and what impact I can have on my surroundings, and I’m hoping to be able to help others gain that same experience. This conference will be a chance to create initiatives and strive for changes, no matter how small or big. Speak up, collaborate freely, think creatively, and let’s make some great memories!

Greetings esteemed Directors, Student Officers, Delegates, and Guests. My name is Tram and I am currently a year 10 student from Singapore International School. I am beyond excited to be chairing General Assembly 3 this year at UNIS MUN XII. Although I have attended MUNs as a delegate, this is my first year formally chairing. I look forward to improving my skills as well as observe all the wonderful and talented delegates.

MUN not only strives to bring awareness to important issues, but it also encourages delegates and chairs alike to improve their skills. Be confident, be collaborative and be prepared to discuss issues involving minority groups, the LGBTQ+ community, and how COVID-19 has affected humanitarian trade. I hope to have an enjoyable and successful conference and best of luck! Feel free to reach out to me if you need any help.
