LynxMUN 2026: Transcending Borders

LynxMUN 2026: Transcending Borders

ASB's MUN team wrapped up its 3rd edition of LynxMUN last week, bringing together 7th, 8th, and 9th grade delegates for two days of debate, diplomacy, and global thinking.

In the foreground, students in a classroom hold up signs for Iran, United Kingdom, and Ukraine, while the background is filled with whiteboards covered in notes and diagrams.

Under the theme "Transcending Borders," students tackled some of today's most complex international issues, including the militarization of borders, protest rights in conflict zones, and the use of drones in warfare. Working across committees, delegates built alliances and developed their own frameworks for addressing these challenges, demonstrating impressive depth of knowledge and confidence throughout.
