UN Youth Evatt  Competition

Evatt is Australia's largest Model United Nations debating and diplomacy competition for high school students in Years 9-12. In Evatt, you and your partner represent a member country on the United Nations Security Council to debate issues of international peace and security through a simulated UN debate. This year Georgina Peace and Flynn Becker Represented China and Kiara Huynh and Joshua Suto represented Ecuador in the heats.

 

Some topics that were discussed included the Cost of Nutritious Food and Social Media amongst other various topics.

 

Kiara and Josh were successful in making it to the Semi-Finals competing against Japan on Sunday the 3rd of September. 

 

“Being a part of the Evatt competition taught us a lot about diplomacy, and the power each country holds to make change globally.” - Georgina Peace

 

“It was a great day and learning experience, although it was quite daunting to be amongst the best schools in Victoria I believe we held our own. Regardless of the result, I am looking forward to the feedback from the organisers.” - Joshua Suto

 

We would like to thank Cameron Dunne for all of the support and time during breaks given to both groups.
