Invitation+Letter

The Overseas Family School Model United Nations (MUNOFS) Committee would like to invite students from your school to our first Middle Years Model United Nations at Overseas Family School (MY-MUNOFS) conference.

This two-day conference will take place on the OFS campus on **5 – 7 March**, **2010**.

Through this conference we hope to provide a unique opportunity to engage middle school students (**ages 11 – 14** ) in a professional albeit friendly environment to develop their research, debating and leadership skills. This will, in turn, increase their knowledge and understanding of broad-based world issues and concerns. We aim for both new and experienced participants to find it a rewarding experience.

Unique about the MY-MUNOFS conference is that it is open to both middle school as well as motivated grade five students. We believe that the experience of MUN for this age range of student is a positive and enriching one. All our grade 5s just completed a fantastic 5 week POI done in the form of MUN, and closed with a two-day conference at which they exceeded our already high expectations.

OFS middle school MUN-eca has been going over two years now. Some of these students already have two conferences to their credit.

Experienced Chairs from high schools will be Chairing for this conference. Your school can offer Chairs also if you like, and an application will be attached for this.

Please note the fee structure. $60SGD per delegate, $40SGD registration fee per school. These funds are used to provide lunch to all on both days, morning and afternoon snacks on both days, stationary costs and afters pizza. Also for busing to and from Changi Airport.

In closing, we would be pleased and honoured if your school would participate in this MY-MUNOFS I, and we look forward to seeing and working with your students in the near future.

In a world of growing diplomacy and international awareness, it is our ambition to bring together young men and women to engage in the educated discussion and debate of issues that have long scarred our world. Your presence will add a unique spark to the conference and we sincerely hope you will be among those joining us for MY-MUNOFS I.

Thank you for your consideration,
