In the Model United Nations (MUN) course in Dalian American International School and Huamei School Secondary students develop an understanding of global issues and current events by simulating the committee work of the United Nations through attending MUN conferences.

In March 2023, our students have been able to participate in two full-scale conferences in Shanghai and Dalian.

SHAMUN XXIIOn March 3-4, Shanghai American School Puxi Campus held their 22nd MUN conference. It was two days with over 350 student delegates from 16 schools. The 17 delegates from DAIS/DHS were spread out over 7 committees and made great achievements.

Warmest congratulations to our students on receiving the Best Delegation award! It is so delightful to interact, debate and make friends with delegates from various international schools and backgrounds.

NatalieSHAMUN XXII was my first large scale conference with 50 delegates in a committee; I tried my best, and it was absolutely thrilling to receive the best delegation award for our school. I wish we can have more opportunities like this conference in the future! 

ZuriIt is a one-of-a-kind experience not only for me but for all who had enrolled in such activity, the knowledge and skills acquired from experienced delegates, the unforgettable time that we been through, and the sweet time we have had altogether.

This conference was the first time after the COVID-19 pandemic that we got to invite outside schools to our conference, and we were lucky to host the Shanghai American School Puxi Campus and the Dalian Maple Leaf International School on our campus.

Having new faces at our MUN conference made it so much more interesting, and from what I heard from our students, I can say they felt the same. 

I’m super excited that we are able to go to other schools for MUN and invite other schools to our campus as well. I think next year our conference will be even better since this year, the COVID-19 restrictions were lifted at the last minute, so we didn’t have much time to prepare.

Next year, we will have a whole year to set up the best conference DAIS will have ever seen. I’m super excited to see everyone enjoy DAISMUN XIV next year!

EinSince this was my last MUN conference in high school, I wanted to make sure I did the best I could during the preparation process for the conference. Once the conference began, what really kept it running was everyone’s contribution to it.

We had very supportive and cooperative student officers and teachers, and their efforts are very much appreciated. The secretariat was excited to have other schools come for the first time since the pandemic began, and I can confidently say this was a great finale to my MUN experience in high school.
