More than 300 selected students from reputed educational institutions across Punjab will participate in the IIMUN Concourse, scheduled to be held in Mohali on December 11 and 12. The two-day event will provide a platform for young minds to engage in meaningful debates and discussions on important international, national and local issues.
The Concourse will bring together students aged between 13 and 19 years, encouraging them to express their views, exchange ideas and develop a deeper understanding of public affairs and contemporary challenges.
The initiative aims to nurture leadership qualities, strengthen communication and debating skills, and inspire students to become responsible global citizens.
Founded in 2011 by Rishabh Shah, India’s International Movement to Unite Nations (IIMUN) is a youth-led, non-profit organisation working to create platforms for meaningful dialogue and prepare the next generation of leaders. It promotes youth participation in discussions on issues concerning society, governance and the nation.
According to the organisation, its advisory network includes prominent personalities from various fields, including industry, politics, arts and sports. These include Ajay Piramal, Deepak Parekh, Nadir Godrej, Shashi Tharoor, A.R. Rahman and P.T. Usha, along with former chiefs of the Armed Forces.
IIMUN states that it has established a network of students across 275 cities in India and 40 countries, with its initiatives reaching millions of young people. Its activities include youth dialogues, mock parliaments, leadership programmes, literature festivals and social impact projects.
Through the Mohali Concourse, the organisation aims to provide Punjab’s young generation with an intellectually stimulating environment where students can share perspectives, understand diverse viewpoints and discuss issues shaping society’s present and future.
The event is expected to offer students an important opportunity to showcase their knowledge, confidence and leadership potential while preparing themselves to become tomorrow’s leaders and changemakers.
