Diplomacy, Debate & Discovery

SIRS’s flagship MUN programme — in partnership with IIMUN — trains students to think globally, argue persuasively, and lead with conviction.

About the Programme

Shaping Tomorrow’s Global Leaders

Model United Nations at SIRS is more than debate club. It’s an intensive programme where students assume the roles of diplomats, researching real countries, understanding complex global issues, and negotiating solutions in simulated UN committees.

We run this programme because we believe that global citizenship isn’t learned from textbooks alone. It comes from standing in another nation’s shoes, arguing for their interests with rigour and conviction, and learning to listen and compromise.

Our students return from MUN conferences with academic accolades, but more importantly, with newfound confidence, deeper research habits, and a genuine understanding of how the world works. They become thoughtful global citizens.

In Partnership With
