模擬聯合國(Model United Nations，簡稱模聯“MUN”)，一項風靡全球、在青年學生之間的教育類活動，學生們扮演不同國家或其它政治實體的外交代表，圍繞國際熱點展開辯論，為了所代表的“國家利益”磋商、游說。這項活動的流行，不僅能讓參與者熟悉聯合國等多邊議事機構的運作方式，還能激發他們思考世界格局對人類未來發展的影響。目前全世界每年有近四百個國際模擬聯合國大會在五大洲的50多個國家召開。每年參與大會的師生來自世界100多個國家，總人數超過四百萬人。

2月18日至2月21日，由國際模擬聯合國協會（中國）組委會舉辦的2021青少年模擬聯合國大會（冬季會議）在中國廣州舉行。本次大會設有聯合國經濟與社會理事會、聯合國環境規劃署、歷史委員會、聯合國安全理事會、世界衛生組織、歐洲理事會、G20二十國集團和聯合國兒童基金會共八個委員會。深圳瑞得福學校領隊老師Kevin伍老師帶領的15名“外交官”，參加了模擬聯合國英文會場世界衛生組織的相關會議，議題是“后疫情時代的機遇與挑戰”。

本次模擬聯合國的冬季比賽由于疫情的影響，雖然一部分參賽選手選擇轉至夏季比賽，但是參與本次比賽的仍然有來自48所學校的320位中小學生，深圳瑞得福學校的15名代表團成員，披荊斬棘取得了佳績！

通過對會前準備情況、立場文件質量、發言次數及質量、領導力與團隊合作、撰寫文件質量、演講與語言能力、會議議程推動能力等評選標準進行綜合考量，深圳一共三所學校獲獎，瑞得福模擬聯合國代表團在深圳地區總分第一名！此外：

深圳瑞得福學校獲得了“Best組織獎”

10年級的韓明威同學獲得了“杰出外交官”獎

10年級的韓明泰同學獲得了“榮譽提名”獎

9年級的伍睿同學獲得了“榮譽提名”獎

帶隊老師伍老師表示，雖然大會只有短短四天時間，但是會前瑞得福的“外交官”們已通過不懈努力做好了充足準備。除了在校的社團練習，他們密切關注國際時事，悉心研究各國的歷史、政治、經濟、文化、地理特征和外交政策；仔細閱讀大量英文原版資料，模擬不同場景下用英語進行觀點陳述、靈活辯論、解決沖突和現場談判的技巧。從集訓到出征，一路過關斬將，不斷挑戰自我的極限，努力跳出自己的舒適區，他們雖然只是一名“小外交官”，但是肩上扛起的卻是整個世界的責任。

一分耕耘一分收獲，胸懷世界的少年們在本次模聯會議中，不斷結識了許多優秀的同齡人，也開拓了自己的國際化眼界。而所有的收獲，都是在孩子們的心中留下了深刻的烙印。你聽，他們說：

社長伍睿Rain總結：

這次活動屬實讓我收獲了很多，作為一個相對來說對于該賽事生疏的選手，我發現僅有理論知識是遠遠不夠的，場上真正能做到幾乎完美的選手，往往是在臺下就熱愛探索鉆研相關話題的人。除此之外，這次模聯也能很好反映出個人的處事方式，社交能力的優缺點。模擬聯合國的聯合國模擬國家這一方面也將個人情感這個因素弱化，更好的展現出發揮。最大的一點感想，就是在模擬聯合國中一定要把握機遇，一定不能放過每一次機會，抓住每一次主導話題，領導，或是表達觀點的機會?？傊?，這是一次十分完美的活動，參加此次活動的社團成員們也盡可能的去展現自己，發揮出了自己最好的表現。

社團成員韓明威Jimmy說：

“We do it because it is hard.”

These words come into my mind when my time at MUN was arriving at an end.

At MUN, or Model United Nations, people from all over China representing countries came and met. We furiously debated over assigned topics, stressing cooperation, yet defending national interest.

I remember at MUN, the swash of thought rushing through my veins, through my head, through my mind, and through my heart as I stood up and defended the rights of my nation.

I remember the will and power seeping through my teammate’s eyes as we countered criticism, opposition, and rivalries with passionate speeches.

I remember the support and shared sense of duty of my allies as we created our pact.

I remember the all-nighters writing important papers, the communication and coordination, the thirst for more speaking as time strikes nil.

The frustration of opposition, the delight of new people joining our ranks, the arguments and the debates.

The brick-like will, unwilling to crack, for our allies to pass down a resolution of what we believe is right.

And so much more.

This is Model United Nations.

社團成員韓明泰 Martin說：

With a request of our student president, I was asked to write my experience in Mock United Nations(MUN), I was please to accept his request, since my time at MUN to me was a incredible event that I will not forget.  

It was a very forgettable 4 days I had been in MUN, and I will tell you it was a truly unique and special experience to me, it was a very short four days, since time pass fast when having fun. I was really unwilling when I had to leave. My new friend Jasmina, asked me to sign her player card. We were partners in MUN. Both representing the country Norway, I recall meeting her on the first day when we arrived, she was a small figure, polite, and very quiet, she was in middle school but was pretty mature for her age, I asked her a few questions and she answer with a few words and we were silent. But before we left, I managed to ask her name. I also met on that day a lot of other wonderful people, Ryan and Nancy representing UK, Leo and Albert representing Mexico, Allen and Eva representing Kenya and many others.

The actual conference started the following day, and that is when things started going pretty rough for the following three days. We almost teamed up against other delegates immediately, and others same, there was 9 countries represented by 18 delegates with 2 for each countries, there was 2 team formed up with 4 for each team and 1 as a bystander. We argued and debated over literally every aspect and detail of the subject with saliva enough to fill an Olympic swimming pool. Neither of our teams moved an inch of ground. But throughout this raging war, our team formed great comradeship unifying us against a single enemy. The three days were pretty much a ritual of arguing, questioning each other, and so on. Even the voting procedure where we had to vote for the resolution for this problem was pretty expected; 4 against 4 for and 1 did not vote. Which was pretty unsurprising.

When the meeting was over, our group gathered, we conversed and laughed at jokes of our uselessness of our discussion and arguments, I sighed, but soon smiled, because although I had wasted saliva and brainpower for the arguments, I had earned something so much better, something that will remain as a gem in the center of my heart.
