The recent participation of 10 Humanities students from Institut Rosenberg in the Novice Model United Nations Conference 2025 at the University of Oxford has been a source of immense pride. These students engaged in rigorous debates alongside peers from around the globe, showcasing their critical thinking and intellectual agility in a prestigious academic setting. This event was not merely a competition but an immersive exercise in diplomacy and global affairs, highlighting the students' dedication and the school's commitment to fostering academic excellence. The preparation for this conference involved weeks of refining argumentation, analytical thinking, and public speaking skills in their Critical Debate class, setting a solid foundation for their outstanding performances.
The achievements of the students were remarkable, with Cosimo M. & Elia A. receiving the Joint Award for Outstanding MUN Delegate, and Aldo F. being recognized for his representation of Estonia. Honourable mentions were also awarded to Lai Tong, Andrej J., and Maksymilian H. for their contributions representing Slovakia, Egypt, and Senegal, respectively. Beyond the conference, the students enriched their experience with a visit to Oxford’s Ashmolean Museum, exploring the intersection of art, history, and politics. This journey was a testament to their intellectual curiosity and commitment to global engagement.
