模拟联合国(Model United Nations，简称模联“MUN”)，一项风靡全球、在青年学生之间的教育类活动，学生们扮演不同国家或其它政治实体的外交代表，围绕国际热点展开辩论，为了所代表的“国家利益”磋商、游说。这项活动的流行，不仅能让参与者熟悉联合国等多边议事机构的运作方式，还能激发他们思考世界格局对人类未来发展的影响。目前全世界每年有近四百个国际模拟联合国大会在五大洲的50多个国家召开。每年参与大会的师生来自世界100多个国家，总人数超过四百万人。

2月18日至2月21日，由国际模拟联合国协会（中国）组委会举办的2021青少年模拟联合国大会（冬季会议）在中国广州举行。本次大会设有联合国经济与社会理事会、联合国环境规划署、历史委员会、联合国安全理事会、世界卫生组织、欧洲理事会、G20二十国集团和联合国儿童基金会共八个委员会。深圳瑞得福学校领队老师Kevin伍老师带领的15名“外交官”，参加了模拟联合国英文会场世界卫生组织的相关会议，议题是“后疫情时代的机遇与挑战”。

本次模拟联合国的冬季比赛由于疫情的影响，虽然一部分参赛选手选择转至夏季比赛，但是参与本次比赛的仍然有来自48所学校的320位中小学生，深圳瑞得福学校的15名代表团成员，披荆斩棘取得了佳绩！

通过对会前准备情况、立场文件质量、发言次数及质量、领导力与团队合作、撰写文件质量、演讲与语言能力、会议议程推动能力等评选标准进行综合考量，深圳一共三所学校获奖，瑞得福模拟联合国代表团在深圳地区总分第一名！此外：

深圳瑞得福学校获得了“Best组织奖”

10年级的韩明威同学获得了“杰出外交官”奖

10年级的韩明泰同学获得了“荣誉提名”奖

9年级的伍睿同学获得了“荣誉提名”奖

带队老师伍老师表示，虽然大会只有短短四天时间，但是会前瑞得福的“外交官”们已通过不懈努力做好了充足准备。除了在校的社团练习，他们密切关注国际时事，悉心研究各国的历史、政治、经济、文化、地理特征和外交政策；仔细阅读大量英文原版资料，模拟不同场景下用英语进行观点陈述、灵活辩论、解决冲突和现场谈判的技巧。从集训到出征，一路过关斩将，不断挑战自我的极限，努力跳出自己的舒适区，他们虽然只是一名“小外交官”，但是肩上扛起的却是整个世界的责任。

一分耕耘一分收获，胸怀世界的少年们在本次模联会议中，不断结识了许多优秀的同龄人，也开拓了自己的国际化眼界。而所有的收获，都是在孩子们的心中留下了深刻的烙印。你听，他们说：

社长伍睿Rain总结：

这次活动属实让我收获了很多，作为一个相对来说对于该赛事生疏的选手，我发现仅有理论知识是远远不够的，场上真正能做到几乎完美的选手，往往是在台下就热爱探索钻研相关话题的人。除此之外，这次模联也能很好反映出个人的处事方式，社交能力的优缺点。模拟联合国的联合国模拟国家这一方面也将个人情感这个因素弱化，更好的展现出发挥。最大的一点感想，就是在模拟联合国中一定要把握机遇，一定不能放过每一次机会，抓住每一次主导话题，领导，或是表达观点的机会。总之，这是一次十分完美的活动，参加此次活动的社团成员们也尽可能的去展现自己，发挥出了自己最好的表现。

社团成员韩明威Jimmy说：

“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.

社团成员韩明泰 Martin说：

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.
