The Crane 24 February 2017

Here are some pictures MUN. All delegates participated actively in the creation of resolutions in their committee and some even took the floor during the General Assembly in the afternoon. I was very proud of them. On day 2 of the conference our delegates were very busy. Everybody got up to speak at least once during the General Assembly and there was clear improvement in the quality of their speeches and in the confidence with which they were delivered. Before dinner we visited the Ikuta shrine, one of the oldest Shinto sites in Japan. Our hotel was located right next to one of the entrances so we took this opportunity to do a bit of sightseeing. We treated ourselves to a nice Indian dinner at the end of the day and prepared for the last day of the conference.
