22 Mar 2024
Two members of the Ateneo de Manila Senior High School's Model United Nations (MUN) Org- Leanne Wang (12-Bobola) and Shayne Rivera (12-Gonzalez)- made strong, award-winning showings in the 10th Yale Model United Nations Taiwan (YMUNT X) held in Taipei, Taiwan from March 15-17, 2024. Leanne was named Outstanding Delegate for the UNESCO Committee, representing Norway, while Shayne was awarded Honorable Mention of the UN SocHum Committee, also representing Norway.
Organized by the Yale International Relations Association, the YMUNT X attracted over 250 delegates from more than a dozen countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Per the YMUNT website, the conference “… is a locally sourced, internationally-minded Model UN conference seeking to empower delegates to find their voices, to enrich delegates’ academic experiences, and to give them the tools to excel both during the conference and into the future.”
In addition to the passionate debates, the drafting of resolutions, and the writing of position papers, the YMUNT X experience also featured a number of conference events that allowed delegates to meet and form meaningful relationships with one another and the Yale secretariat.
The ASHS MUN delegates were coached and accompanied to the YMUNT X by Josh Madarang, their Org Moderator.
