Future Leaders Tackle Global Issues at BEIMUN 未来领袖模拟联合国会议上处理全球问题

A selection of YCIS Beijing’s future leaders had the special opportunity to attend the 24th Annual Beijing Model United Nations Conference (BEIMUN) on March 2. 15 of our students tackled real current issues through an active simulation of the United Nations, including group research, proposal submission, and active debate in front of over 700 of their peers from international schools around the world, including the US, Mexico, South Africa, Qatar, China, and many more. 

北京耀中推选的未来领袖们参加了3月2日举行的第24届北京模拟联合国会议（BEIMUN）。15名学生通过积极模拟联合国运作模式处理当前社会的是问题，包括小组研究，提交决议草案，和来自美国、墨西哥、南非、卡塔尔、中国等全球各国国际学校的700名同学们当中积极斡旋。

The students all researched and created draft resolutions that they took to the conference. After getting their resolutions approved by the chairs of the committee, students engaged in a debate on the resolutions run by the chairs. The debates were given using formal, third-person language, just as they are given in the actual United Nations.

学生们都仔细研究并制定了他们参加会议的决议草案。在获得委员会主席批准的决议后，学生参加了由主席主持的决议的辩论。辩论是使用正式的第三人称语言，正如在实际联合国中所运用的那样。

In preparation for the event, students attended weekly Model UN meetings after school. The club focuses on honing all the skills that students need to be successful at events like these, including collaborative research, persuasive writing, public speaking, and debate. While YCIS Beijing curriculum integrates these skills into a classroom environment, being able to utilize these skills on a grander stage in front of peers from across Beijing was an invaluable experience for our students. Congratulations to all our participants!

为准备这次活动，学生参加学校每周课后的模拟联合国会议。这个社团旨在磨练学生各项技能，让他们在类似这样的活动中取得成功，包括合作研究，说服性写作，公开演讲和辩论。虽然北京耀中的课程设置中也将这些技能融入到课堂环境中，但是能够在全北京同学面前在更大的舞台上展示这些技能对我们的学生来说是非常宝贵的经验。祝贺所有参与者！
