Middle School Model United Nations Qatar 2019 V ANNUAL SESSION PARTICIPANT’S BOOKLET Sustainable Development Goals 19 - 20 April 2019, Qatar National Conventional Centre Middle School MUN Qatar Participant Guide 2019 The 17 Sustainable Development Goals Who is responsible for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals? The UN? Internatiomal NGOs? Multi-National Companies? Individuals? All of them? How can YOU support the Sustainable Devleopment Goals? 2 Middle School MUN Qatar Participant Guide 2019 Student Leadership Secretary General Dear members of the Middle School MUN community, My name is Sama Ayoub, and it is my absolute honour as the Secretary-General to welcome you to the 5th annual Middle School Model United Nations, in Qatar. Recognizing the importance of involving youth in developing solutions such as through resolutions as well as the significance of the Sustainable Development Goals towards the involvement of youth in giving back to our communities: MS- MUN-Q V has made community mindedness an essential goal of the conference. MSMUN-Q V has followed in the footsteps of THIMUN-Q 2019; the only MUN conference to closely collaborate with the United Nations on the implementation and celebrating service projects that are Sustainable Development Goals through the launching of the Global Act with Impact Awards (G.A.I.A.s) Appropriately, MSMUN-Q V has worked to become a platform for global impact and change through merging resolution development, Sustainable Development Goals and service activities. Unlike every year, rather than highlighting one specific SDG as the conference’s theme, MSMUN-Q V now introduces 12 SDG committees; with each committee’s issues specifically focused on an individual Sustainable Development Goal and its multiple indicators. Priding ourselves in hosting and arranging one of the most prestigious middle school targeted conferences, we are wholly motivated in creating a well rounded experience for all of our participants. At the heart of MSMUN-Q lies not only the unrelenting commitment of developing and creating solutions but also the implementation of change in our communities through the execution of service projects; similarly seen through MUN Impact. With the conference’s intentions of promoting community mindedness as well as give younger students the op- portunity to become peace making and problem solving intellectuals; MSMUN is pleased to introduce enrichment and service activities as the newest addition to the conference. On the second and last day of the conference, delegates will engage in service learning activities designed to take place either inside or outside of the QNCC in order to allow students to give back to the community and become the innovators of change to the greatest extent possible. Please see pages 4-6 for more on the service activities! Whether this may be your first MUN experience or just another conference you may be adding to your list of experiences; I hope that you will create long lasting memories and gain knowledge that will be your stepping stone of becoming the innovators and peace builders of the future. And remember; “Without knowledge action is useless and knowledge without action is futile.” Sincerely yours, Sama Ayoub Secretary General of MSMUN-Q 2019 3 Middle School MUN Qatar Participant Guide 2019 My name is Alanoud Al Thani, and I am honoured to serve as Deputy Secretary General of this confer- ence. MUN is a wonderful opportunity to gain knowledge, build skills and develop your character - and this conference is the perfect place to start. While everyone’s experience with MUN unique, the one part in common with all people is that it is a great facilitator for growth. Through this year’s conference structure, we hope it will help you learn more about the United Nations and the Sustainable Development Goals for the year 2030. You will be able to gain experience in debating topics relevant to the world, learn your role in helping the world move towards sustainability and learn valuable knowledge. We urge you to take this unique opportunity, to engage and to give it your best. My name is Jenan Abdu and I am a Deputy Secretary General for 2019’s MSMUN conference, and I am an eleventh grade student at Qatar Academy Doha. I choose to work within MUN to make an impact, because clean water and sanitation are fundamentals to have in your life and the world should focus much more heavily on ensuring everyone has access to them. I have always had an interest in the Peace and Justice as I aim to be a lawyer when I am older. Without strong institutions, we cannot work together effectively across nations in order to establish peace and ensure these institutions are truly bringing justice to their people. I expect all the middle school delegates will work tirelessly to generate extraordinary solu- tions through fruitful debate for these Sustainable Development Goals. They are vital contributors to a better world, as education is the beginning of advocacy for a more informed world! My name is Prkriti Tandon and I will be serving as one of the Deputy Secretary General in this year’s Middle School Model United Nations Conference. MUN has played a major role in the building of my character, challenging me to go to greater heights, boosting my confidence and has helped me increase my knowledge of the world around me. At times it has challenged me and pushed me out of my comfort zone but each conference has been an experience of a lifetime. This year, MSMUN V comes with changes that range from allowing student officers to be more independent to letting delegates lead in service projects based on their SDGs. MSMUNQ aims to show delegates the parts they themselves can play in the world around them and allows them to make ties with others on both, a personal and diplomatic levels. I hope MSMUN V works to challenges you, regardless of the role you play, engages you in rigorous debates and exposes you to different perspectives. The same way it did for me. My name is Taraf Jaro and I am honored to be serving as one of your Deputy Secretary Generals for the fifth annual MSMUN-Q. While MUN means something different to each individual who partakes in it, I view it as a symbol of how far we’ve come in learning to resolve the most prominent issues of our time as a result of our willingness to act upon these issues. Despite the expansiveness of globalization that has allowed us to learn more about our world than has been possible in the past, many believe that we can only truly impact our local society. MSMUNQ V aims to provide delegates with the opportunity to not just solely discuss world issues, but also participate in service activities aimed at showing delegates a glimpse of turning resolutions into action across the world. Delegates, this is your opportunity for your voice to make an impact. Make the most of this conference by allowing it to broaden the limits of your potential. By participating in MSMUN-Q 2019 you will be the first to walk out the doors having left the world a better place than it was coming into the conference. My name is Yasmin Addam, serving as the Deputy Secretary General for MSMUNQ. As an executive for this conference, I hope to see that this conference will provide opportunities for growth and development of the delegates, just as I have developed throughout my MUN journey. With this being my 14th conference, I have come to learn that MUN provides each and every delegate a platform for learning and a platform for positive change. The challenges that I have been presented with in each conference has allowed me to learn and grow as a delegate and as a person, and I aspire to inflict this opportunity of self growth for the delegates of this conference as well. As delegates, you must take this great opportunity presented to you to enable a platform of your own self growth. Establish a sense of confidence, expand your knowledge on global topics and indulge in the debate! 4 Middle School MUN Qatar Participant Guide 2019 Student Officers Committee Name School SDG 1 No poverty Haya Al Kuwari Qatar Academy Al Dana Al Sulaiti American School of Doha Yumn Qazi American School of Doha SDG 2 Zero Hunger Abdulla Babikir Al Jazeera Academy Kareem Aburoza American School of Doha Hend Mansi Qatar Academy SDG 3 Good Health and well be- Gul E Butool Abedi Sherborne ing Liyana Saleem DPS Modern Indian School Saif Al Suwaidi Qatar Academy SDG 4 Quality Education Sahar Ali Sherborne Anushka Jain DPS Modern Indian School Sarthak Modi DPS Modern Indian School SDG 5 Gender equality Majed El Khalifa Al Jazeera Academy Stefana Mitrut American School of Doha Reem Gawish Doha Home Educators SDG 6 Clean water and Sanitation Aiden Roche DPS Modern Indian School Faris Almoli DPS Modern Indian School Mohammed Faiz Doha British School SDG 9 Industry Innovation and Ameen Mekki American School of Doha Infrastructure Gandharv Nagrani DPS Modern Indian School Sara Zamel Newton International Academy SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Shivom Dhamija DPS Modern Indian School Comunities Princess Magor Newton International Academy Rawan Ibraheem American School of Doha SDG 13 Climate action Malaak Talaat Park House English School Mariam Noureldin Qatar Academy Farah Sarhan Qatar Academy SDG 14 Life Below Water Muhammed Humza DPS Modern Indian School Farhihah Ahmed American International School of Dhaka Sadeem Jaro American School of Doha SDG 15 Life on land Elina Kalmouni Doha British School Gia Hamed Qatar Academy Farid Ismail Gulf English School SDG 16 Peace Justice and Strong Titilope Akinade

    Language Ideologies, Schooling and Islam in Qatar

    Language in the Mirror: Language Ideologies, Schooling and Islam in Qatar Rehenuma Asmi Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy under the executive committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Rehenuma Asmi All rights reserved ABSTRACT Language in the Mirror: Language Ideologies, Schooling and Islam Rehenuma Asmi My study explores language ideologies in the capital city of Doha, Qatar, where school reform movements are placing greater emphasis on English language acquisition. Through ethnography and a revised theory of language ideologies, I argue that as languages come in greater contact in multi-lingual spaces, mediation must occur between the new and old relationships that are emerging as a result of population growth, policy changes and cross-cultural interactions. I interrogate the development concept of the “knowledge economy” as it is used to justify old and new language ideologies regarding Arabic and English. As Qataris change their education systems in response to the economic development framework of the “knowledge economy,” they are promoting language ideologies that designate English as useful for the economy and “global” citizenship and Qatari Arabic and Standard Arabic as useful for religious and cultural reasons. I argue that Standard English, through its association with the “knowledge economy,” becomes “de-localized” and branded an “international” language. This ideology presents English as a modern language free of the society in which it is embedded, to circulate around the globe. In contrast, Standard Arabic is represented as stiff, archaic language of religious traditions and Qatari Arabic is presented as the language of oral culture and ethnonationalism.

    TAPPING the POTENTIAL of YOUTH Hope That All Those Who Attended Benefited from the Opportunity to Practise the Knowledge They Acquired During the Conference

    THE REACH OUT TO ASIA QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER, ISSUE 7, JUNE 2016 EMPOWERING YOUTH GLOBALLY OTA has always placed great importance on youth – be it the empowerment of R Qatari youngsters, or those in distant regions. ROTA’s aim is to reach out to youth in disadvantaged communities around the world, and provide them with academic support, technological assistance, and skills for self- employment. ROTA has been collaborating with several like- minded sponsors and partners to achieve these goals. Our Yemen initiative, a joint effort with CARE International and Silatech, is improving economic opportunities for hundreds of youth. Our collaboration with Mercy Corps in the West Bank in a project called Supporting Palestinian Education and Employment Development will increase job opportunities for Palestinian youth. In Tunisia, we work with Islamic Relief-Tunisia to improve the quality of education through capacity building of schools and libraries. Primary and vocational schools are also being built in Cambodia, thanks to our collaboration with the Monithapana Foundation. ROTA’s work doesn’t stop there. As part of our ongoing efforts to provide underprivileged youth in Asia with education, a group of Qatar University students was recently sent to Indonesia to help expand the skills of local students there. An initiative in Nepal, called Not Your Average Spring Break, saw university students visit western Nepal to provide opportunities through workshops. Trips like these are also beneficial to ROTA volunteers who develop their own life skills through volunteering. ROTA’s Youth Service Clubs are also aiding the development of leadership skills and an understanding of international and community building issues.
