MODEL UNITED NATIONS 2023
We're pleased to introduce to you the first season of SMSD MUN. It is designed so that each one of us finds our own voice amidst the cacophony of opinions. We've to foster a world that isn't broken into fragments by narrow domestic walls, but one which stands in unity and peace.
UNITY IS OUR STRENGTH,
PEACE IS OUR DESTINATION.
SMSD MUN 1.0 provides an excellent platform for open dialogue and debate, where we can exchange ideas, explore solutions, and forge consensus on the critical issues at hand. Let us approach this challenge with an open mind and a spirit of cooperation. We, as a world, need heads that can critically analyse and negotiate at the time of crisis and we aim at fostering minds which take better decisions for the world.
We assure you that even your whispers of change will be loud enough for the world to ponder over.
