Bali Island School (BIS) proudly hosted the Bali Model United Nations (Bali MUN) from 31st January to 1st February 2026, showing its unwavering commitment to nurturing globally minded learners. This event served as a dynamic platform that fosters inquiry-based experiences, fully aligned with the International Baccalaureate values.

With approximately 140 students from seven esteemed schools—Bali Island School, Green School, Taman Rama Intercultural School, Taman Rama School Denpasar, Dyatmika School, Canggu Community School, and Amman Academy from Sumbawa, the only school participating from outside Bali—Bali MUN became a melting pot of diverse perspectives. This tapestry of delegations enriched the debates and strengthened regional collaboration among students in Grades 5 to 12, empowering them to engage critically with global issues and develop their leadership skills.

“Model United Nations gives students rich opportunities to build both subject knowledge and practical skills,” said Alan Furnas, Diploma Programme Business Management and MYP Individuals & Societies teacher. “Students often wrestle with research, writing, collaboration, public speaking, and representing a country’s perspective—challenges that directly strengthen the IB Approaches to Learning, especially research, communication, social, and self-management skills. MUN also offers meaningful CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) through leadership, teamwork, and reflection,” said Alan Furnas, Diploma Programme Business Management and Middle Years Programme Individuals & Societies Teacher.

“In this student-led event, participants showed dedication, adaptability, and many IB Learner Profile attributes,” Furnas added. “I encourage students to prepare thoroughly, learn their assigned country, and reflect on their performance to grow as confident, globally minded learners,” Furnas added.
