The theme of the conference was «United we stand in combating the issues of today for a sustainable future». This year, the event was organized according to the model of a UN representatives meeting. Thus, the signs of a scientific conference and elements of a role-playing game were synthesized, which contributed to the development of not only diplomatic and leadership qualities of students, but also the development of public speaking skills, ability to talk, and coming to a compromise.More than 80 NIS students and about 40 students from 9 mainstream secondary schools of Kostanay city took part in this event.

This year, in the framework of the MUNNISK-2019 city conference, there were 6 working committees: Security Council, Disarmament and International Security Committee, UN Office on Drugs and Crime, Economic Committee and Legal Committee and Special Session on Terrorism.
