From 3rd to 8th of December, 16 students from Ferney and Saint-Genis had the opportunity to participate in MFINUE (Modèle Francophone International des Nations Unies en Eurasie) at Saint-Joseph High School in Istanbul. The week was marked by unforgettable cultural visits, new friendships and, above all, fruitful debates on a wide range of new topics. Here’s a look back at this exceptional week.
MFINUE is a unique conference with many committees that are not present at FerMUN. Walking through the corridors of Saint-Joseph, one could see a multitude of assemblies ranging from the International Court of Justice to the General Assembly and the UN Security Council. It was in this context that the high school students were able to flourish and develop their knowledge, particularly by using the veto power present in the Security Council.
They also had the opportunity to discover the historic city of Istanbul thanks to cultural visits organised by the host school. During this day punctuated by presentations on Istanbul’s various must-see sites, the Ferney students were able to discover the architectural and culinary riches of the European and Asian shores of this city that never sleeps
In short, it was a wonderful experience that left a lasting impression on everyone and enabled Ferney high school students to improve their skills ahead of FerMUN.
