About

I have designed this series to help students sharpen their debating, public speaking, and Model United Nations (MUN) skills. Across various interactive sessions, we’ll cover everything from structuring speeches and arguments, to persuasive techniques, to real MUN simulations. Whether you’re new to debates or already experienced, you’ll walk away with practical tools, confidence, and strategies you can use in competitions, school debates, or future MUN conferences. Feel Free to Join !!!

Hi everyone! I’m Urwah, a student from Dubai, passionate about learning, sharing knowledge, and empowering others through education. I'm currently working toward the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and have chosen peer education as my life and vocational skill. I’m joining Schoolhouse.world because I truly believe that learning is a two-way street — when we teach others, we learn even more ourselves. I love explaining concepts in a simple and comprehensible manner/way, and I’m excited to support other students. My favourite subjects are Math, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and outside of academics, I enjoy reading, debate, public speaking and sports- especially basketball, football, badminton, and track & field. So........Without further ado.... Let’s learn and grow together!
