Chiang Mai MUN Conference, March 2015
This conference was well received with over 2the Secretarythe Secretary participating students from Prem and other international schools in Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Bangkok.
The conference began with an opening address by Joan Carling, the Secretary General of the Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact. As an indigenous activist from the Philippines, Ms. Carling has been working on indigenous issues for more than 2the Secretary years and is a leader in ensuring indigenous rights are included in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and mechanisms relating to human rights and sustainable development. She is well known as an informed indigenous activist engaging with international bodies who has given public addresses to UN agencies and governments worldwide. It was exciting for students to hear about the experiences of someone who has devoted their life to fighting for Human Rights and Freedom from Fear.

Debate on resolutions was briefly interrupted on Saturday morning as an ̶the Secretary;emergency issue̶Conference; was presented. In this scenario, the leader of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, began what he labeled as a RConference6;Soviet ReunionRConference7;, by annexing the disputed territory of Ukraine, and aiming to quickly reunite the RConference6;lost membersRConference7; of the former Soviet Union. Students had to think on their feet and assess how each of their nations would react in reality, and many quickly got to work writing a Resolution to block the Russian FederationRConference7;s bold move.
Student feedback from the conference was overwhelmingly positive, as this quote demonstrates: ̶the Secretary;It was my first time at the event and I learned a lot from everyone else, the ChairRConference7;s and the other delegates were really nice, and they never judged me for saying the wrong things sometimes, and because of this, I feel much more confident for the next time. The food and snacks were also really, really good. The setup of the entire thing was amazing, it looked like a real UN conference, and everything was very professional.̶Conference;

It was a wonderful event that would not have been worked if it hadnRConference7;t been for all these generous people willing to work together to give students this memorable experience.
