EUGLOH and Saclay United Nations Organise Diplomacy Days for European Students
EUGLOH students embarked on a captivating diplomatic role-play to defend the positions of different countries around a burning topical theme: “Redesigning Global Health Architecture in a Fragmented World Order”. Following strict protocol worthy of the greatest international institutions, the two simulation days kicked off in grand style with an opening ceremony, followed by 7 committee sessions during which participants dissected complex international issues to debate, deliberate, consult, and then develop concrete solutions for global health. The adventure concluded with a memorable closing ceremony.

On the final day of the activity, students had the privilege of exploring the iconic spaces of the UNESCO House (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) located in Paris, during an exclusive guided tour.
“Working together, listening openly, and finding common ground are not just skills for diplomacy, but essential tools for life. This experience has allowed me to develop negotiation, policy drafting and intercultural collaboration skills, while proceeding with a debate centred on data transparency, the financing system of international organizations such as the WHO and, also, its priorities.”

The MUN activity was organised by three UPSAclay students: Elisabeth Salamé, Bachelor student in a Law-Computer Science double degree and president of the Saclay United Nations (SUN) association, Jad Habib, third year student in a Law and Computer Science double degree and vice-president of the SUN association, as well as Jade Missakian, EUGLOH ambassador and M2 student in Strategy and International Management.
More MUN editions on global health are already in the pipeline to allow the greatest number of students from Paris-Saclay, and beyond, to benefit from this enriching experience!
