Public Speaking
55 MUN
55 Main’s Model United Nations society has grown immensely over the years and has been a great success. Through this society we aim to educate students about integral conflicts, international relations, diplomacy, drafting, conflict resolution and the ability to use their voice of reason. Not only do students get to understand various social, economic, humanitarian and political issues, they aim to come up with comprehensive solutions regarding the matter.
Our students have won various Best Delegate and Outstanding Diplomacy awards at prestigious MUNs such as LUMUN, ACMUN and JTMUN, as well as international conferences such as KAMUN in Jordan. The society even managed to get the Best Delegation Award at ACMUN’18.
The most prominent achievement, however, was hosting the fourth edition of the well renowned 55MUN. This event was a student run, three-day conference which proved to be extremely successful, with tough debate and extreme competition. The society has remained extremely active throughout. It conducts its session twice a week and frequently organizes mock MUNs with schools such as Aitchison and JT.
More than just the awards, the society offers a home to many and has grown to become more of a family. It gives students an amazing opportunity to voice their opinions, develop their public speaking skills, learn debating techniques, research skills, understand different perspectives and stances and valuable communication skills. Students are always encouraged to join the society and become part of the MUN family. If they ever have any queries they can reach out to the MUN Representative and Vice Representatives!

Debates
The English and Urdu debate team really know how to heat up a room! With debates offered in both languages, English and Urdu, our students are given the opportunity to broaden their skills in public speaking, indulge in intellectual exercises and research current affairs. Our school enthusiastically participates in both Under 17 and Under 19 tournaments held under the aegis of the Debating Society of Pakistan. Coaching Sessions are held throughout the year and continue during the summer break. In January, we host Lahore Grammar Speaks, our very own U-17 Debate Tournament which is attended by hundreds of enthusiastic debaters across Pakistan. Interested in Debating at 55 Main? Both the English and Urdu Debate Representatives would be delighted to hear from you!
