The Don Bosco International School Model United Nations (DBISMUN) is a prestigious inter-school conference where young delegates step into the shoes of global leaders to address real-world challenges. By engaging in dynamic debates, in-depth research, and persuasive public speaking, participants represent various countries and work collaboratively to find solutions to pressing international issues.

The latest edition, DBISMUN 2025, was held on August 8th and 9th, bringing together over 100 talented student delegates from multiple schools, each committed to fostering dialogue and understanding in the spirit of the United Nations. For the very first time, 18 students of Don Bosco High School, Matunga proudly participated in this conference. Below is their first-hand experience of this enriching journey.

The final resolution passed with strong support, making DBISMUN a valuable experience in diplomacy, negotiation, and global problem-solving.” Gurvansh Sehgal 10B
