League delegates compete in Beijing - Shanghai, China

July 27th to August 11th, 2010

The League of Creative Minds is proud to send 17 delegates to travel to Beijing, China, to collaborate and share ideas with 2,500 students from 33 different nations. The student-delegates will come together to lobby, negotiate and debate in Beijing, China this summer.  The 17 League delegates comprise the Premier Delegation and have been selected to represent France in the following committees:  NATO, The World Bank, Security Council, Historical Security Council, DISEC, UNCIO, UNDP, ILO, UNICEF, UNCSD, UNEP,  and the Arab-Israeli Negotiation Committee.  One League delegate will represent Somalia, as a Minister in the Somali Crisis Cabinet, a highly advanced and coveted committee.

Before the conference begins the delegates will engage in an eight-day social and academic tour of Beijing.  In addition, to camping at the Great Wall, daily Mandarin classes and kung fu lessons, the League delegates will study either Chinese Religion & Philosophy, Chinese Art, Urbanization or Chinese Economics. The delegates will accomplish this task by conducting field research in Beijing, led by several Chinese academic specialists, in each specific topic of study.

Following the Beijing social and academic tour, the delegates will move to Epoch City for the purely academic portion of the trip.  At WEMUNC the delegates will begin by representing France in the Global Village, as well as in their respective committee sessions, throughout the next four days of the international Model UN conference. The League delegates will share viewpoints, ideas, and strategy with their fellow peers from 33 distinct nations.  The official language of this international conference will be English.  Special dignitaries and ambassadors from various Embassies will attend the conference as guest speakers.

After closing ceremonies end on the 8th of August, the final portion of the China trip will conclude in Shanghai.  The delegates will fly to Shanghai where they will attend the World Expo, tour a materials factory and take a boat tour to view the incredible sights in Shanghai.  

The League is honored, dignified and thrilled to be invited to such a highly regarded endeavor in China.  As the only students from the West Coast attending this prestigious international conference, the League delegates are excited to share a bit of their California culture, and collaborate viewpoints and opinions with our Chinese counterparts.  The League looks forward with great respect to the beginning of a meaningful relationship with WEMUN, China, and their top academic students.

Attentively,

The League Directors
