Welcome to the SOCHUM Committee sessions of the Schoolhouse Fall Model United Nations 2024!
Schoolhouse MUN is an online Model United Nations event organized by a dedicated team of volunteers from schoolhouse.world. Here, delegates will assume the roles of diplomats from different nations across six United Nations committees, gaining an in-depth understanding of pressing global challenges while honing skills in public speaking, negotiation, and leadership.
Agenda: The Global Refugee Crisis: Ensuring Protection and Integration
Crafting strategies for safeguarding refugees and enhancing their integration into host communities.
Chairs: Aadya S and Jil S
Overview of the Committee’s Agenda:
Today, over 100 million people have been displaced worldwide, fleeing persecution, conflict, and natural disasters. For many, the struggle to escape is only the beginning of their journey. Refugees face daunting challenges at every step—an endless quest for safety, stability, and a place to call home. In regions like the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa, entire generations are growing up far from their homelands, awaiting a future that remains uncertain. This humanitarian crisis persists, highlighting both the strength of the human spirit and the gaps in global support systems.
As delegates of SOCHUM, your task is to delve into how international frameworks can better protect refugees and ensure that integration efforts are both compassionate and sustainable. You’ll be asked to consider the root causes, the ethical responsibilities of host nations, and how to create solutions that are both just and practical. Engage in rigorous debates, challenge each other’s ideas, and remember that real change begins with dialogue. Together, let’s take a stand for those whose voices too often go unheard.
Are you prepared to take on this humanitarian mission?
