The World Scholar’s Cup, what is it?
~
An academic competition founded by Daniel Berdinchevsky, it is held all around the world every year. The idea behind the World Scholar’s Cup was to create something different than traditional academic competitions and conferences: a celebration of the joy of learning, a tournament as rewarding for the team that came in last as the for the team that came in first, an enrichment opportunity that motivated students not just to demonstrate their existing strengths but to discover new ones. ~
So, what’s so special about WSC?
~
Each year, we go to different countries to participate in this competition, even Yale University in the US. Joining this, you get to know your schoolmates better by teaming up with them and competing with teams from all round the world in Collaborative writing, Scholar's Bowl and team debate. In the progress, you can make friends from across the globe in the Scavenger Hunt and the Scholar's Ball. Many which you might still contact after competition!
But of course, most importantly, you get to adopt an adorable alpaca in each round. (The mascot of WSC and the adorable animals in the above picture.)
~
Applications will be closed at 26th October, all applicants will be invited to go to an introductory meeting by our board of directors on 29th October. Details will be released after application. We look forward to seeing you!

Hey Everyone!

Here is an exclusive deal on Asia Pacific Model United Nations 2017! If you are currently studying in Hong Kong, the delegate fee has been lowered to 700 HKD per person! Additionally, for delegations that are 10 or more students, we will waive the delegate fees for individual delegates while charging only 1,500HKD for the entire delegation!

The secretariat would really like to encourage more participation from Local and International High schools/Universities in Hong Kong this year, as we have many international students coming from all over the world but not as much local students. We want to once again emphasize that this conference is for both High school and University students. Our conference will be a great platform where students from different academic areas and levels come together and form new relationships.

AMUNC 2017 will be held during June 19th-23rd at the University of Hong Kong this year. We are currently welcoming students from over 10 countries ranging from more than 20 nationalities to join us at this conference. This is a golden opportunity to sharpen your international knowledge, practice public speaking, and meet new friends from around the world!
