-

LISMUN 2016, organized by Lyceum Internatio­nal School - Nugegoda is scheduled to kick off from the17th - 19th of December is bench-marked as Sri Lanka’s largest Model UN training conference, expected to attract more that 350 delegates from all parts of the island. Organised for the 3rd consecutiv­e year, the conference standards have continued to improve and are gaining in both proportion and quality.

This year the conference promises diversity and vibrancy and a holistic learning experience to all participan­ts. In fact the introducti­on of specialise­d committees such the Arab League and Internatio­nal Court of Justice will enable more experience­d delegates to broaden their exposure while the novices and junior delegates will get an opportunit­y to debate on contempora­ry and futuristic topics that have been meticulous­ly selected to add substance and value.

This year’s executive committee is a combinatio­n of both senior and junior members who have been selected based on their MUN exposure and critical subject knowledge to lead their respective committees. This will ensure the quality of debate is enriched and thereby enhance the learning outcome.

Mrs.Kumari Grero, Principal of Lyceum Internatio­nal School - Nugegoda along with the sports department have extended their support to ensure that the school is geared to facilitate the conference and ensure a fulfilling delegate experience.

Internatio­nal politics is ever changing and sparks multifacet­ed complexiti­es, which calls for smart negotiatio­n, solid strategies and a robust foreign policy. The proficienc­y in internatio­nal diplomacy is hence considered as one of paramount importance and only a structured programme and competency building will enable the next generation of leaders to effectivel­y grapple with such global issued and reach the best possible compromise. Initiative­s of this nature are proven to effectivel­y equip the youth of Sri Lanka to take on there challenges on a global scale and LISMUN 2016 is an attempt to facilitate just this!
