role of representatives of UNESCO Member States, simulating meetings that take place within the organization. They gain insight into international issues and how international politics works, with a focus on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) and learn how to communicate and negotiate with others to achieve a more sustainable future.<\/p>\n From 2022 to 2023, the UNESCO Hong Kong Association (UNESCO HKA) and the Hong Kong Institute of Education for Sustainable Development hosted three Model UNESCO (MUNESCO) conferences, with themes of \u201cThe Future of Education,\u201d \u201cClimate Sustainability,\u201d and \u201cWorld Heritage,\u201d respectively. These sessions attracted nearly a thousand students from Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area, including participants from renowned schools, and received enthusiastic responses.<\/p>\n The conference has consistently garnered national and international attention. It has been supported and guided by the Chinese National Commission for UNESCO and has received support and congratulations messages from various consulates in Hong Kong, including those of Australia, Brazil, Britain,\u00a0Colombia, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Iran, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Pakistan, the Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Russia, and Spain.<\/p>\n The UNESCO HKA is committed to providing students with more opportunities to broaden their horizons, develop interdisciplinary skills, inspire innovative thinking, and promote international exchange. For the award-winning students, visits to the Hong Kong Observatory, study tours on world heritage in Macau were organised, and the conference has also published the \u201cStudents\u2019 Proposals on Reducing Plastic Pollution in Hong Kong\u201d and the \u201cYouth Declaration on Protecting World Heritage\u201d on international platforms to amplify the voices of youth globally. In August this year, the UNESCO HKA will sponsor outstanding student representatives to participate in the third Model UNESCO International Conference hosted by the World Federation of UNESCO Clubs, Centres, and Associations in Kazakhstan, where they will join youth representatives from 58 countries and regions to continue the discussion on artificial intelligence and education.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \nThe Post The UNESCO Hong Kong Association held the 2024 Secondary School Model UNESCO Conference in Hong Kong on \u201cArtificial Intelligence and Education\u201d\t<\/a> first appeared on ZEX PR Wire<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Information contained on this page is provided by an independent third-party content provider.
