From July 14 to July 21, 2008, ten SFS-Qatar students participated in The European International Model United Nations Conference in The Hague, The Netherlands. The trip was co-sponsored by CIRS and the Student Affairs Department as preparation for SFS-Qatar's own MUN for high school students every January.
The Hague conference is the 21st annual TEIMUN conference, making it one of the oldest MUN conferences in Europe. The theme for this year's TEIMUN conference was "Striving for Sustainable Globalization."
Students represented ambassadors of China, the United States of America, Ecuador, Myanmar, Poland, Mexico, the Philippines, and Iceland in committees as diverse as the UN Security Council, the Human Rights Committee, NATO, and the General Assembly.
