In January 2024, after unexpectedly spending 24 hours in Frankfurt Intl’ Airport, due to a snowstorm that cancelled all flights, our school delegation of 18 IB MYP-DP students and teachers aced the long journey and finally arrived at their winter wonderland destination, New Haven Connecticut.
There they readily joined delegates from around the world at the exciting, prestigious and engaging Model United Nations (MUN) event organized by Yale University. Continuing their formative journey on the actual fields of diplomacy, our students proved yet again their courage, determination and skill in deliberating cultural, educational and diplomatic representations, being just as warmly received by our education partners in CT USA: Ms. Dana Bucin, Honorary Consul of Romania at The Honorary Consulate of Romania to CT and at the top Murtha Cullina Law Firm; Professor Dragos Hau of Yale and President of Scoala Romanul SUA; Ms. Mirela Panaitisor, Owner/Director and Violin Master at the The New Old School of Music, and the enchanting Mark Twain House & Museum!
“At YMUN 50, nearly 2000 high school students will discuss pressing global issues in the same classrooms that have inspired presidents, prime ministers, and policymakers from around the world. Over the course of four days, YMUN 50 aims to challenge delegates to engage and think critically. Through our many committees, most of which have no more than 30 delegates, students will research historical disputes and conflicts, investigate humanitarian crises and responses, and work towards consensus on current international events. Delegates will pass dozens of resolutions that address a wide range of issues, developing leadership and teamwork skills that are crucial in shaping our next generation of world leaders.” - Megan Niu, Secretary-General YMUN 50
Our heartfelt thanks to all our education partners in CT USA for their ongoing support and friendship: The Honorary Consulate of Romania to CT, USA; Scoala Romanul SUA; The New Old School of Music, and Mark Twain House & Museum!
