Due to the current pandemic, almost every conference platform has been transformed into a virtual format. Northbridge International School Cambodia has taken an important decision in organizing an online NISC MUN 2021. Proudly speaking, we were the first and only school in Cambodia conducting the conference virtually and internationally.
Five participating schools, two of which were schools overseas, included Lincoln School in Costa Rica and Mont Kiara International School in Kuala Lumpur. We were once again proud to include the participation of Logos International School and CIA FIRST International School, representing schools in Cambodia.
The conference was held between Feb 19-21, 2021. Though the Feb-20th-Covid-19 incident occurred in Phnom Penh, it did not impede us from proceeding with our conference because we had foreseen and had well prepared for a scenario like this. Our delegates were able to discuss, debate and exchange ideas on “Fostering Sustainable Peace” which was this year's main theme.
Last but definitely not least, we tried our best to provide our MUN directors, Chairs, Deputy Chairs, delegates and all stakeholders similar experiences that they would get at an in-person conference. They were able to bring with them the virtual practice and knowledge in pertinence to the theme, and most importantly they were able to socialize virtually, which rarely happens these days when a new Covid-19 outbreak is present.
World Children's Day (WCD) is celebrated on November 20 each year to promote international togetherness, awareness among children worldwide, and improving children's welfare.

Recognising this, the IB has taken an revolutionary look at assessment in the middle years, with the eAssessment.
