Islamabad, October, 2026: Students of International Relations at SZABIST University Islamabad Campus, Yawar Hameed and Luqman Sumro, served as Committee Chairs at the Gen Alpha Model United Nations (MUN), hosted by Roots Wellington Campus, H-8, Islamabad.

Drawing on their academic knowledge of diplomacy, foreign policy, and international conflict resolution, both students contributed to creating an engaging and structured conference environment. As Committee Chairs, they guided young delegates through parliamentary procedures, facilitated debates on pressing global issues, and maintained diplomatic decorum throughout the conference.

Beyond managing committee proceedings, Yawar Hameed and Luqman Sumro actively mentored participants by translating key International Relations concepts into practical learning experiences. They encouraged delegates to engage in policy analysis, strategic negotiation, and consensus-building while developing a deeper understanding of diplomatic processes.

Their participation provided a valuable connection between university-level academic learning and school-level experiential education. Through their guidance, delegates had opportunities to strengthen essential skills, including public speaking, critical thinking, negotiation, and collaborative decision-making.

The engagement also demonstrated how students can apply their academic knowledge beyond the classroom while contributing to the learning and development of younger participants. Their involvement encouraged intellectual curiosity, diplomatic awareness, and leadership among aspiring young delegates.

This collaboration reflects SZABIST University’s commitment to promoting student leadership, academic outreach, and practical learning opportunities. By engaging with educational initiatives such as Model United Nations, the University continues to support the development of future leaders equipped with communication, analytical, and diplomatic skills.
