GC LAU MUN Conference 2013

Global Classrooms Lebanese American University Model United Nation (GC LAU MUN) is the program that brings the UN culture of global awareness and the implementation of peaceful means for conflict resolution to the Lebanese High Schools, Middle Schools, and community at large. This is achieved by organizing training sessions that culminate in a final conference, by bringing specialized speakers, and through other events. Twelve AMS high school students have been the delegates of Kenya taking parts to develop their cognition about United Nations, research and interpretation skills, rules of procedure in a United Nations conference, writing a position paper, public speaking and role playing, conflict resolution and negotiations, caucusing and resolution writing, among others.

Almanar Modern School is proud of the students’ participation, efforts, and achievements. Significantly, on April 7, 2013, Nour Aboulhosn (Grade 11 student) earned the Position Paper Award and Houda Hilal (Grade 10 student) earned the Diplomacy Award in the GC LAU MUN Conference.

Participation in extracurricular activities helps pupils develop important skills and interests so we encourage them to get involved in as many as possible. It also improves their self-confidence and helps them understand the importance of teamwork and fair play. Team sports play a big part and we offer a wide range at AMS. Students can take part in basketball, soccer, tennis, and athletics. Also, the quality of our music standards is high and many children take extra instrumental lessons. Regular recitals performed by soloists, groups, and the choir are presented on different occasions. We believe drama is educationally important and regularly every elementary class stages plays and musicals. In addition, Educational Club, Environmental Club, and Model United Nation (MUN) Club are founded to develop the student’s personality intellectually, socially, emotionally, and aesthetically.
