Vancouver played host to over 2,000 students from all over the world for the Harvard World Model United Nations Conference 2012.
This weeklong event offered a plethora of new and unforgettable experiences, ranging from passionately debating topical world issues by day to exciting social events by night.
With WorldMUN 2012 declared closed Thursday evening the University of Sydney delegates were sad to see the end of the week.
Drawn together by the spirit of the UN and the experience travelling overseas and meeting MUN-ers from all around the world, 2500 students had just spent the week forging our own solutions to international peace and security.
