Wuxi MUN conference prepares students for future

Nearly 300 students from around world attended the third Canal Cities Model United Nations Conference (CCMUN) in Wuxi, East China's Jiangsu province, from July 28 to 30.

The conference is part of the MUN Challenge, which was initiated by UNHCR, the UN refugee agency. It provides a platform for students from around the world to exchange ideas through simulated UN activities. It also offers experience and opportunities for those who are aspiring to engage in diplomatic careers.

The conference was open to elementary, middle, and high school students, who played the role of delegates from different countries. They engaged in discussions on globally tending topics such as sustainable canal development, the protection of refugee children, and building child-friendly cities.

The outcomes generated from these debates will have a chance of being included in the UNHCR's official Policy Repository.
