MUNCH20 Moves Online

Featuring delegates from twenty schools, debating issues affecting Jerusalem, the climate crisis, the right to protest, marine conservation, discrimination and the pandemic’s effect on education, MUNCH20 online was a huge success.

The main organizers for the online conference were Sixth Form students and Secretary Generals Alex and Lizzy, ably assisted by Chairs, Amy and Matthew. Senior School pupils helped to Chair the debates while Year 8 pupils took part as delegates for the first time.

CHS Munch Co-Ordinator, Mrs Judith Shand was thrilled with the success of the event. She said: “Everyone did a fantastic job, adapting to the new challenge of moving the event online was no easy task and once again the quality of the pupils’ debates from all schools involved was of such a high standard…  well-researched and delivered incredibly well. CHS’s Year 8s were particularly fabulous; this is the first year they have ever taken part as delegates, representing the School and themselves brilliantly. I’m looking forward to seeing what they do next year!”
