MISMUN 24, Meru International School’s prestigious Model United Nations (MUN), is a distinguished forum hosting 300 students from over 40 schools.
This event, representing diverse backgrounds and fostering inclusivity, is a simulation of the United Nations where each delegate embodies a country.
It serves as a critical platform for global cooperation and kicks off on June 28th, 2024. This year’s event epitomizes the school’s commitment to preparing students for diplomatic discourse and international relations.
MISMUN 24 Committees and Global Cooperation
In an era where global cooperation is paramount, MISMUN 24 includes various committees such as the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), United Nations Security Council (UNSC), United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), Disarmament and International Security Committee (DISEC), World Health Organization (WHO), North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Lok Sabha, and the Crisis Coordination Committee (CCC). These committees provide a comprehensive platform for students to engage in discussions on pressing global issues, enhancing their understanding of international relations.
Opening Ceremony and Principal’s Address
The MISMUN 24 opening ceremony was marked by the principal’s inspiring call for diplomacy and global collaboration.
The art of debate, rooted in ancient Greek forums and honed through centuries of parliamentary tradition, finds new life in the voices of these young delegates.
As they tackle pressing global issues, they are not just arguing points but shaping their futures as critical thinkers, empathetic leaders, and articulate global citizens.
Guest Speaker: British Deputy High Commissioner
British Deputy High Commissioner, Mr. Gareth Wynn Owen, set the tone with his challenge: “Never compromise for the lowest common denominator.”
His words echo the spirit of great diplomats throughout history, from Metternich to Kissinger, who understood that true progress often requires reaching beyond the obvious.
His speech resonated with the delegates, inspiring them to strive for higher standards in their diplomatic efforts.

Meghana Gorukanti Jupally, Founder and Director of Meru International School, continues to innovate with initiatives like MISMUN.

Impact and Future Prospects
