LEAMUN 2024: Students from International School, ITHS, and Savremena Gimnazija Organize Another Successful Conference

Students Develop Leadership Skills Through a Simulation of the United Nations

This September, Belgrade hosted the LEAMUN (Model United Nations) conference, organized by students from International School, ITHS, and Savremena Gimnazija. The event took place from September 20 to 22 and offered participants a unique experience in leadership, collaboration, and raising global awareness.

The conference included five different committees, each discussing current global issues. The Model United Nations provided students with the opportunity to improve their public and formal speaking skills, expand their knowledge of politics, and gain a deeper understanding of how the United Nations operates.

Five Committees Discussed Global Issues and Fostered Leadership Among Participants

The topics addressed by the committees included:

  • Human Rights Council: Improving security and human rights in Africa
  • Security Council: Resolving the crisis in the South China Sea
  • General Assembly: De-escalation of tensions in the Western Balkans
  • Narcotics Commission: Tackling the production and trafficking of cocaine in Central and South America
  • Crime Prevention Committee: Preventing and responding to terrorism through national and international strategies

In addition to intellectual discussions, participants had the opportunity to meet new people and take part in evening social activities organized by the LEAMUN team. This conference is recognized as an exceptional extracurricular activity, enriching students' portfolios and enhancing their chances of admission to universities.

Due to limited spaces, the organizers have invited all interested students to join future LEAMUN conferences and take the opportunity to be part of this transformative event. LEAMUN 2024 was another step toward developing young leaders who will shape the future.

I am extremely pleased and proud to be the parent of a Savremena student. During my first encounter with the school management, when I asked about my child’s potential enrolment, I saw how much love, enthusiasm and professionalism you put in your work. I was impressed by your approach, ideas and methods. I couldn’t believe something like this existed in our country! It doesn’t take long to realise that this is a school you would recommend to everyone. Creativity, modern technology, top-quality education, and most of all, the humaneness that can be seen throughout the school, make it truly different and worthy of its name – Savremena Gimnazija. With such an approach, the success of this school and, consequently, our children’s success, is unavoidable. Congratulations! Jelena Đorđević, Andrija’s mum
