UWC Mahindra College has outshined at MU20 once again!
26 students from UWC Mahindra College participated in the Oxford MUN and Harvard Sustainability Impact Summit in the beginning of August, at FLAME University in Pune. In this 3-day conference, students engaged with global issues, UN Sustainable Development Goals, and diplomacy. The students stepped into the role as diplomats involved in collaboration, debate, public speaking, research, and intercultural exposure.
In the Oxford MUN the focus was on resolving problems, representing different allocated nations. It involved deep research about the country, representing and committing to the country’s position. Lunch breaks, early morning and late nights were utilized for not only socializing but also diplomatic discussion and agreements.
In the Harvard Sustainability Impact Summit, students looked through the lens of the UN and UWC values, exploring the usage of education as a force to unite nations. Furthermore, the conference hosted students from multiple countries, enabling them to recognize and celebrate differences, and to develop a sense of idealism.
“At HSIS, I was able to engage in challenging conversations, pushing me out of my comfort zone to talk about uncomfortable realities and question the very guidelines that have run our communities to change it for the better. These 3 days have totally changed my outlook on the policies and leaders that run our society and motivate me to strive for positive change around me.” - Chinmayi, HSIS
“Oxford led to more than just a position paper and results solving international problems, it made us learn more about our peers and strangers, it made us better in augmenting and debating and it made us become stronger negotiators in- and outside of MUNs” - Rita, Oxford MUN
This milestone reflects UWC’s commitment to nurturing students through an international and intercultural lens. Join us in congratulating our students who persevered throughout the journey, and developed skills and connections that will remain with them throughout.
