MODEL UNITED NATIONS

New Indian Model School, Dubai took the first steps in Model United Nations five years ago. Since then, we have made our mark in various national as well as international platforms, learning and growing in the process. From our primal BVC MUN 2015 to our very own NIMS MUN, NIMS has strived for perfection in every setting.

MUN has helped our students reach out to their inner leader and diplomat. Several students of ours have breached traditional barriers to reach their full potential through Model United Nations. Holding our motto ‘From MUN to the real UN’ at the heart of every conference, NIMS MUN too has become a regional success seeing participation from several eminent schools. MUN has brought together a strong circle of spirited and driven young leaders partaking in several conversations on the future of our world along with promoting the Sustainable Development Goals in and out the NIMS campus. NIMS MUN has also succeeded in providing students with an innovative, responsive and intellectual platform to discuss and debate topics of interest.

The NIMS MUN delegation has also had the privilege of representing the regional team in several renowned international MUN platforms.

BVC MUN

NIMS began its journey in the grounds of BVC MUN in 2015 with eight delegates representing countries in various committees. This experience provided our students with an exciting opportunity to meet and work with the oldest and most respected MUN organisations in India and later set up our very own NIMS MUN. We return annually to the MUN that kick started our MUN community.

NIMS continued its relation with the BVC MUN, Chandigarh in 2018 with 10 participants from NIMS Dubai and is one among the international schools to attend the conference bagging Best Position Paper Award and Honorable Mention.
