LARSSMUN

Lagos Regional Secondary Schools Model United Nations (LARSSMUN) Conference has tasked itself with recreating the spirit of diplomacy that originally defined the United Nations. LARSSMUN is the largest and most diverse regional student-run model United Nations conferences in Nigeria. The conference has been tirelessly committed to substantive excellence, innovation, and the experience of our delegates, both inside and out of the committee room.

The conference has been designed as a forum where students work with some pressing international issues from a perspective outside of the classroom. Representing the interest of a foreign country further broadens the knowledge of the students on the difficulties and complexities of international relations. The programme brings the activities of the United Nations closer to the youth who are made to assume leadership roles through the simulation.

Students at the conference learn to face and overcome challenges, to respect the view point of rivals, to separate the person from the problem, to face disappointment with the determination to do better next time and to experience the joy of achievement. At the end of the conference, each student is changed having learnt more about himself, gained confidence from some endeavours and discovered previously unrecognized potential. The benefit to the student, school and society are great.
