🌎 Diplomacy in Action: MY-YMUN Success

The past weekend at ISY was filled with rigorous debate and global perspective as we hosted the Middle Years Yangon Model United Nations (MY-YMUN) conference. It was a remarkable showcase of Internationalism and Communication. We saw our Middle School participants tackle complex issues with impressive Critical Thinking, while our High School Chairs and student leaders confidently guided discussions and supported delegates throughout the process.

A special shout-out must go to Yunn and Lei Lei for their tireless work in organization. Their leadership behind the scenes ensured a seamless experience for all delegates, demonstrating the power of Collaboration and executive functioning. We also want to celebrate our 5th-grade "Note Passers," who provided essential support to the committees. These young Chinthes showed great compassion and curiosity, getting a front-row seat to the world of diplomacy. Congratulations to every student who took part—you have truly embodied the ISY mission of being a force for positive change.
