Global Thinking in Action: KTJ Hosts Model United Nations Conference with Alumni Support

The conference served as a platform for students to step into the shoes of international delegates, explore pressing global issues, and develop critical skills in negotiation, public speaking, and collaborative problem-solving.

Throughout the event, students represented a wide range of countries, researching and defending their assigned nations' positions on challenges such as climate change, human rights, global health, and security. Working within specialised committees including the United Nations Security Council and the World Health Organization (WHO), delegates engaged in formal sessions where they delivered speeches, debated policies, built coalitions, and drafted resolutions addressing some of the world’s most urgent concerns.

The MUN experience is much more than a simulation — it nurtures leadership, teamwork, and empathy, and encourages students to think critically about the world around them. It also reflects KTJ’s commitment to nurturing globally-minded individuals prepared to engage meaningfully with real-world challenges.

Student and Staff Leadership at its Best

This year’s conference was made possible through the exceptional leadership of Mr Bechir, whose guidance helped shape a rigorous and engaging experience for all involved. A special thank-you also goes to Elizabeth Goh, a dedicated KTJ SixthForm student whose efforts in coordinating logistics, communicating with participants, and overseeing committee procedures played a vital role in the event’s success.

Behind the scenes, numerous KTJ staff and students also contributed to creating a seamless and enriching experience — from research and preparation to logistics and hospitality — all working together to bring the spirit of diplomacy to life on campus.

A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Alumni Sponsors
