HKISMUn2021

Join us for two days of passionate debate meant to inspire growth in all delegates! Students of all skill levels welcomed.

THANK YOU FOR AN AMAZING CONFERENCE!

6 FEBRUARY 2021 - 7 FEBRUARY 2021

/ ON THE BRINK

The world we live in is one of unbelievable prosperity and remarkable possibility. As rates of poverty plummet, technology rapidly progresses, and we inch closer and closer towards becoming a post-scarcity civilization, the world is seemingly undeniably on the brink of greatness. Yet at the same time, existential threats that once were mere unlikely looming perils have now become legitimately worrying obstacles to the longevity of human presence on Earth. As a globalised world makes us concerningly susceptible to disease and employment crises, the climate of the Earth continues to rise to unprecedented levels in the modern era, and new weapons of warfare endanger the lives of billions of humans at a single moment, we must ask whether we are, actually, on the brink of calamity. HKISMUN 2021 will serve as a platform for students representing all perspectives of society to explore the possibilities of either humanity’s success and the creation of a post-conventional society or humanity’s failure as we fall victim to issues of our own creation.

/ ABOUT

HKIS is proud to be hosting its third iteration of HKISMUN in 2021. Our conference attracts over one hundred delegates from around Hong Kong every year, offering six committees and a weekend of debate, collaboration, and learning on the beautiful HKIS campus.

We pride ourselves on the quality of experience and debate that we offer our delegates and chairs. This year, we are accommodating to those that are newer to MUN by designating a special committee for beginners that also welcomes middle-schoolers — we hope to offer them a learning experience in the high standard environment of high-school MUN, becoming the first high-school conference in Hong Kong to do so.

We hope that delegates will challenge themselves to broaden their horizons and embrace the problem-solving and diplomatic culture of the United Nations. We look forward to seeing you all in February!
