Pakistan International School Qatar (PISQ) was the only school from Qatar that attended the conference. A training session was arranged for the students on April 4 at Casal Torreblanca Sant Cugat which was very informative and students were able to understand and get used to the BIMUN Rules of procedure.

The idea was to give a chance to the delegates to know the committee they will be working with throughout the conference and learn to develop the ways of working together in a team so that they are confident and can trust within the members of the committee and they can be prepared to face the challenges that lie ahead, being capable of discussing and building solutions together.
At the opening ceremony many prominent speakers delivered key-note speeches to the session participants.
