From 15 to 24 June 2025, students from International School 33 and the IS33 association took part in the\u00a0MUNCONNECT - United for a Better Future<\/strong>, an Erasmus+ mobility programme organised in Bordeaux. This project enabled around fifty young people from\u00a0France, Romania, Turkey, Cyprus and Palestine<\/strong>\u00a0to experience a\u00a0Model United Nations<\/strong>\u00a0combining diplomatic debates, intercultural exchanges and local immersion.<\/p>\n

Before this week full of discoveries, our students had already had the opportunity to represent IS33 at the prestigious\u00a0YMUN Europe IV in Geneva<\/strong>, organised by Yale University. This first experience awakened in them a keen interest in international relations, public speaking, cooperation between cultures and the search for peaceful solutions to global issues. Today, the MUN activity is\u00a0an essential part of their career path<\/strong>, and valued both in their\u00a0personal development<\/strong>\u00a0and their\u00a0CV<\/strong>\u00a0for future or university projects.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

A week of diplomatic excellence<\/h3>\n

During MUNCONNECT week, participants carried out a wide range of activities.\u00a0genuine diplomatic sessions<\/strong>\u00a0These included country presentations, drafting and voting on resolutions, working in blocks, motions and debates, all in a demanding but friendly atmosphere, guided by young people who were already experienced and, above all, highly motivated. They were able to\u00a0accompanying foreign delegations with professionalism<\/strong>, They show their mastery of the MUN rules, but also their sense of welcome and dialogue.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

An exceptional setting in Bordeaux<\/h3>\n

The venue chosen for the conferences, the\u2019Ermitage International School Bordeaux<\/strong>, With its large 19th-century house, 1,800 m\u00b2 garden and flexible spaces for meetings, the setting was ideal. Accommodation at the\u2019hotel Eklo<\/strong>, It was an experience to match. The programme also included\u00a0cultural discoveries (museums, Dune du Pilat, Capucins market, Bassin des Lumi\u00e8res)<\/strong>\u00a0and convivial events (barbecue, traditional dances, shared meals, closing ball, etc.).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Enhanced skills, vocations revealed<\/h3>\n

As the days went by, the young people strengthened\u00a0their autonomy, their confidence in speaking, their English<\/strong>, while\u00a0forging strong links<\/strong>\u00a0across borders. Some have come away transformed: one of them has even decided to\u00a0reorienting your academic career towards a double degree in IT and international relations<\/strong>, This is proof of the profound impact of this initiative.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Acknowledgements and outlook<\/h3>\n

We would like to extend our warmest thanks to the\u00a0Erasmus<\/strong>\u00a0for its essential support, as well as all\u00a0organisers, european partners and speakers<\/strong>\u00a0who made this ambitious project possible. Thanks to\u00a0MUNCONNECT<\/strong>, IS33 was able to demonstrate its ability to coordinate inclusive and formative European initiatives. This project was an opportunity to forge strong links between young people from different backgrounds and to strengthen their commitment to citizenship. More motivated than ever, our students are ready to continue the MUN adventure and to become fully involved in other European projects.\u00a0future european projects<\/strong>\u00a0meaningful.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
