How to make a Model United Nations conference into the most exciting trip for high school students? How to balance debating on the most serious issues with joyful moments allowing us to forget all about politics? Ask the organizers of IlyMun 2025!
We students of ‘secondes’ from the Lycée international François 1er (Fontainebleau) are far from forgetting these three intense but thrilling days during which we learnt of the most complex global issues, practiced skills which we’ll need throughout our lives such as public speaking or finding collective solutions, while laughing, enjoying games or going out for dinner. After having met young people from all around France, debated, made alliances and danced all together in Lyon’s wildest club, we can guarantee that there is no better way of turning complete strangers into close friends in only three days!
Everyone’s presence including our beloved teacher Mr Rennie – our gratitude for whom we expressed with a creative present– is what made this trip so special. If this did not convince you to do MUN next year, nothing will!
