200 Students Learn Diplomacy at AYIMUN Presents Al-Muhajirien MUN
Jakarta (ANTARA) - A total of 200 delegates from 61 schools in the Jabodetabek region and surrounding areas participated in the Asia Youth International Model United Nations (AYIMUN) Presents Al-Muhajirien MUN, held on 11-12 April 2026 in Bekasi, West Java.
The event was organised by the International Global Network (IGN) in collaboration with Yayasan Waqaf Al-Muhajirien Jakapermai, and was attended by the Minister of Basic and Secondary Education (Mendikdasmen) Abdul Mu’ti as well as Bekasi Mayor Tri Adhianto Tjahyono.
In a statement from Jakarta on Sunday, IGN President Muhammad Fahrizal stated that the Model United Nations (MUN) is more than just a simulation and represents a transformative learning experience.
“Through MUN, students are confronted with global issues, diverse perspectives, and real-world diplomacy. Participation in programmes like AYIMUN demonstrates initiative, global awareness, critical thinking, and communication skills,” said Fahrizal.
“AGILE is part of our larger Global Perspectives programme, with the final assessment following the Al-Muhajirien MUN programme, serving as a platform to apply those skills in practice,” he added.
On the same occasion, Mendikdasmen Abdul Mu’ti expressed support for the International Global Network and efforts to strengthen the capacity of the younger generation through activities like MUN.
The Minister also shared experiences on the power of dreams and motivated all delegates not to fear dreaming big.
It is known that the Al-Muhajirien MUN featured two councils: the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) with the topic “Tackling Cyberbullying: Ensuring Safe and Friendly Online Spaces for Students” and the World Health Organization (WHO) with the topic “Safeguarding Indigenous Knowledge of Traditional Medicine While Ensuring Scientific Validation”.
Each session attended by the delegates was also guided by experienced moderators or chairs, ensuring the discussions ran smoothly and interactively.
The chairs present at the conference included Fatima Massa from Spain, Zara Pang from Malaysia, and Paris Crishen Liu and Hino Samuel Jose, both from Indonesia.
