The Rotary Club of Brighton supported a number of high school students to compete in the Rotary District 9800 Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA) in May this year. Two of the students, Nicholas Michele and Kenneth Yeung from Brighton Grammar were the event’s winning debating team.
Over the weekend 17 - 18 August 2024, the boys travelled to Canberra to represent our Rotary District in the Rotary’s 25th National MUNA at the historic House of Representatives Chamber in Canberra’s Old Parliament House (now the Museum of Australian Democracy - MoAD).
Attending the event were 44 delegates from 15 different schools, supported by fellow Rotarians, school counsellors, and families and friends. MoAD was filled with youthful voices debating United Nations (UN) Resolutions with fervour, conviction and with passion.
