Podar Pearl School, Doha, proudly participated in GMUN Fall 2026, held at Georgetown University in Qatar (GU-Q). A delegation of 17 enthusiastic students from Grades 8, 9 and 11 represented the school at this prestigious Model United Nations conference, joining young delegates from across Qatar and India.

The conference brought together more than 1,000 delegates from 75 schools across 16 dynamic committees. This year’s theme, “The North-South Divide: Authority, Equality, and Interventionism,” encouraged students to explore global challenges, understand international relations and engage in meaningful diplomatic discussions.

The conference journey began with a Fresher Masterclass on 5 November, which helped participants prepare for the discussions ahead. Subsequently, students took part in a full day of moderated and unmoderated caucuses, where they presented arguments, exchanged perspectives and explored solutions to global issues. Throughout the conference, our delegates demonstrated impressive research skills, confidence, critical thinking and diplomatic abilities.

Adding to the school’s achievement, Mohammed Arshad Mohiuddin (Grade 11 MB) received an Honorable Mention award for his outstanding performance while representing the Netherlands in the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC). This recognition highlights his dedication, preparation and ability to engage effectively in diplomatic discussions.

In addition, all 17 delegates received Certificates of Appreciation for their participation and contributions to the conference.

Our proud delegation included:

Grade 8: Soham Samal and Yazhini Subashchandar.

Grade 9: Nimra Sayed, Khadija Abdul Bari and Hima Haasini.

Grade 11: Afnan Syed Abdul Munaf, Mohammed Arshad Mohiuddin, Arshiya Shaikh, Avril Jerlin, Bhagat Nair, Bhavith Abhilash, Bilal Nishad, Devdatta Dileep, Hisham Abdul Jameel, Mahenoor Khan, Syed Wajahat Ali and Saad Shahezad Khan.

Special appreciation goes to our dedicated mentors, Ms. Zeenat Khan and Mr. Jayaraj K.S., for their continuous guidance, encouragement and support throughout this enriching experience.

Participation in GMUN Fall 2026 provided our students with valuable opportunities to strengthen their public speaking, research, negotiation, leadership and diplomatic skills. Moreover, it encouraged them to understand diverse perspectives, engage with global issues and develop confidence as responsible global citizens.

Podar Pearl School congratulates all 17 delegates on their commendable participation and celebrates Mohammed Arshad Mohiuddin’s remarkable achievement. As our students continue to explore the world of diplomacy and international relations, we look forward to their next journey at GMUN Spring 2027!
