A group of Vernadsky CFU students and staff attended the Fifth Annual Model UN in Crimea International Workshop Conference recently held by the Crimean Branch of the Russian State University of Justice.

Model United Nations is an educational simulation helping students learn more about diplomacy, international relations, and the principles of the UN and how it functions. At a Model UN conference, students work as the representative of a country, organisation, or person, and must solve a problem with other delegates. A Model UN enables its participants to develop their research, public speaking, debating, and writing skills, in addition to critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership.

At this year’s event, six international students of the Vernadsky CFU’s Medical Institute named after S.I. Georgievsky participated in the sessions of the Committee on the Rights of the Child and the International Maritime Organization debating topics that they have researched.

At the end of the conference, the best-performing delegates and participants were recognised with awards and certificates. After the event, attendees took a guided tour of the Livadia Palace in Yalta.
