Bilingual Youth Model United Nations (BYMUN)

From 25–27 March 2026, Peicaians participated in the 5th Bilingual Youth Model United Nations (BYMUN) organised by Nanyang Girls’ High School. During the three-day conference, they engaged in dynamic and thought-provoking discussions on global issues using both English and Chinese.

At the conference, our students took on roles across different councils, including the Association of Southeast Asian Nations Plus Three (ASEAN+3), United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and United Nations General Assembly Third Committee (SOCHUM, C3). In addition, the delegates had the opportunity to learn from professionals in their respective fields through two bilingual keynote lectures, gaining valuable perspectives that deepened their understanding of contemporary issues.

In addition, 3 Peicaians took on the role of Press Corps members, observing debates, conducting interviews, and producing news reports. This provided them with valuable opportunities to analyse discussions critically and present balanced, well-structured coverage of the proceedings.

Prior to the conference, editors from Singapore Press Holdings conducted a workshop for our press delegates. Their expert guidance enriched the students’ understanding of journalistic practices and elevated the Press Corps experience, marking a meaningful step forward in enhancing the depth and authenticity of student-led media work at BYMUN.

These experiences helped students grow in confidence as speakers, sharpen their critical thinking, and broaden their understanding of global affairs, while also developing collaboration, adaptability, and communication skills.

Overall, our students demonstrated what it means to think critically, speak with purpose, and lead with empathy. Through their active participation, they truly embodied the spirit of this year’s BYMUN theme, “Moving Forward, Our Voices As One” 「心系寰宇，众声与共」, making the experience both meaningful and impactful.
