On Monday 2 December 2024, 11 Royal Russell delegates attended the 17th Benenden MUN Conference, representing Brazil (Zachary Devlin, Raza Ali Jafri and the ambassador, Ehaan Nadeem), Haiti (Joseph Soya-Bongay, Rayhaan Kufuor-Gray, Rishi Kamdar and William Watford as ambassador) and Japan (Thomas Grehan, Logan Hatchwell-Wray, Kira Diakiv and the ambassador Zak Ali- Hughes). This was a fantastic opportunity for new delegates to get involved in a range of debates on topics such as Preventing an Arms Race in Outer Space, Mitigating the Economic Impacts of the Brain Drain, Prohibiting the Production of Diesel Cars or the Question of Violence in Haiti, and for all participants to further develop their public speaking skills whilst meeting pupils from other schools. Johan Prinsloo and Uliana Tokolova were also a credit to the School, chairing the Security Council and Historic Security Council with great professionalism. Another successful conference to conclude the 2024 MUN programme.
