International Schools from all over Portugal were represented at this prestigious event. Important topics relating to the world environment and to international justice were debated over the two days and crucially important resolutions were passed. Students from CLIB did more than make up the numbers. They thrived in the highly charged political arena that is the Model United Nations. Motions were put forward, discussed, debated, amended, accepted and rejected and our students were there in the thick of it. Diplomats in real international diplomacy.
Participation in the Model United Nations is something which we will continue to actively encourage here in CLIB. We will continue to participate in MUN events both in Portugal and abroad. Actually some of our students are travelling to Milan this week to participate in an international MUN event. What a fantastic learning experience it should prove to be. Once again our future diplomats will be thrown into the cauldron of heated debate and international diplomacy and we are sure they will continue to excel just as they did this weekend in Porto.
