Welcome to the Twelfth Annual Edition of Shanghai American School Pudong Model United Nations! SHASMUN XII will be held in person from November 17th to November 19th. This year’s theme, 'The Crystal Globe,' symbolizes the importance of foresight in addressing global challenges. It reflects the stark realities of our interconnected world and how the consequences of past actions unfold in cyclical patterns. At SHASMUN XII, delegates will have the opportunity to discuss and shape the future world we aspire to see reflected in the crystal globe.

 

The first SHASMUN was held in 2012 with the theme of Introducing Happiness, with over 160 delegates from schools in Shanghai attending. SHASMUN II – The Sun, The Moon, and the Truth – welcomed schools from Hong Kong and Taipei. SHASMUN III – Talkin' 'Bout My Generation – saw participation from schools ranging from Beijing to India, and introduced the ECOSOC committee. SHASMUN IV – The Ethics of Progress – introduced the General Assembly 3 Committee, and welcomed over 300 delegates. SHASMUN V – Won't Get Fooled Again and SHASMUN VI – The Slanted Mirror – introduced the Security Council 2. SHASMUN VII – Hear the Echo Chamber – added the Historical Security Council. SHASMUN VIII – The Complacency Crisis – foresaw debate in a veto-less Security Council 2. Due to COVID-19, SHASMUN IX – The Butterfly Effect– decided to go ‘-ito’, catering to SAS delegates in an in-house conference, and SHASMUN X – The Sound Barrier – hosted delegates from all over the world online.  SHASMUN XI— The Footnote of History— reopened the doors for in-person conferences.  

 

Following the success of SHASMUN XI, we are thrilled to announce that SHASMUN XII will be held in person, welcoming schools from across mainland China. We are looking forward in hosting the most engaging SHASMUN yet! Our secretariat team will dedicate our time and effort in order to deliver an exceptional conference experience for you all.
