IPA-SF Pune MUN 2024 also intends to break stereotypes of pharmacists being restricted to community/hospital roles. It envisages pharmacists as vital stakeholders influencing national and worldwide health priorities through advocacy.
IPA-SF Pune MUN 2024 also promises to accelerate public discourse on expanding pharmacists’ scope of practice.
What Is The Topic of Discussion?
- Does legalizing marijuana reduce organized crime and cartel violence by shifting control from criminals to the state?
- Can taxation revenue from legal marijuana sales be used to bolster law enforcement and rehabilitation efforts?
- Is there data to support claims that legal pot shops encourage substance abuse and health risks?
Get ready for insightful discussions and strategic diplomacy as delegates tackle pressing global challenges in this dynamic committee setting.
The Event Format
Spanning two days on January 6th and 7th at Pune’s prestigious Poona College of Pharmacy, participants will simulate various UN committees and bodies. After rigorous training workshops, delegates will role play diplomats of assigned nations and NGOs.
Through lobbying, resolution drafting, consensus building and heated dialogues, youth will sharpen skills in public speaking, research, policy analysis and conflict resolution. The eclectic mix of personalities and viewpoints will surely lead to dramatic moments in the halls.
