On April 4, an award ceremony was held for our students who participated in the 2023 MUN (Model United Nations) session.
The MUN is a simulation of United Nations conferences that aims to train participants in the world of diplomacy and international relations through a simulation of debates in English.
Students selected for the MUN take part in workshops in addition to their courses. This year we had:
- 15 students from 5eme to 3eme for the Middle School MUN
- 19 students in 2de and Terminale for EAMUN (East African MUN)
For EAMUN, 63 schools from Kenya and the African continent (970 delegates) participated; LFIDD came in first with the following 6 awards:
- Best Delegate – Rayan Ohany
- Best Speaker – Ian Sasha Komagazani
- Best Resolution Security Council

- Best Resolution Economy
- Best Resolution Human Rights
For MSMUN: 60 schools from Kenya and the African continent participated (765 delegates); LFIDD had the following 2 awards:

The MUN is :
- A unique and intellectually stimulating human experience
- An original way to develop and strengthen your English
- Students who find themselves in the shoes of diplomats trying to defend the interests of a country that is assigned at the beginning of the school year.
- An opportunity to become actively involved in solving contemporary problems, while enjoying the diversity of opinions.
- Willingness to understand the mechanisms and dynamics of our society / willingness to promote the universal values of the United Nations.
- Deepen students’ intellectual curiosity, but also provide them with organizational, accountability and pressure management skills
Congratulations to our champions and a special thank you to Mrs. Fabienne EYRAUD who supervises the workshops and pushes the students to surpass themselves!
