A learning experience School notes

Students of Ryan International participate in INMUN 2008

BANGALORE: For Pranay Ahluwalia and Preethi, students of Ryan International School, Kundalahalli, participating in the Indian Model United Nations (INMUN) 2008 recently, was a huge learning experience.

The INMUN is a platform which gives students a chance to be part of a mock U.N. session, voice their opinions, formulate resolutions and make a difference in the academic and qualitative life of their fellow students.

INMUN also takes debating to a whole new level of intellectualism and professionalism.

INMUN is a project of Ryan International Group of Schools and this year saw the eighth successful simulation of the UN. In all, 112 schools from India and abroad participated.

Two teams from Ryan International School, Kundalahalli, participated in the three-day event.

The participants came back with the enthusiasm to conduct similar MUNs in Bangalore.

“INMUN rocks! It was a very nice experience, and being my first, I enjoyed it thoroughly. I look forward to INMUN 2009 and am going to start working on it right away,” said Pranay, a member of the team.

“In the first year, performance counts for a lot. You either make it or break it,” said Preethi.
