SINGAPORE, April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NLCS (Singapore) was excited to host its first-ever International Model United Nations (MUN) Conference at the end of February, welcoming students from across the NLCS family of schools, including London, Jeju, Dubai and Kobe. The three-day event brought together young delegates for an immersive experience in diplomatic discourse and global problem-solving.
Exploring the theme of 'Bridges Across Borders', the conference challenged students to tackle pressing global issues spanning sustainability and human rights, alongside historic crises including the Berlin Airlift of 1948. Across multiple committee sessions, students represented nations from around the world, negotiating complex resolutions from diverse geopolitical perspectives, gaining a deeper understanding of international relations and diverse perspectives.
Bridges Across Borders: Sustainability, Human Rights, and History
Chris van Dort, Director of MUN at NLCS Singapore, shared: "It is a genuine privilege to host this event for the first time and welcome schools from across multiple continents. Within the NLCS community, these events emphasise our collective vision of raising awareness for global issues whilst acting as global citizens. Running a conference for the first time has been no small task, and it would not have gone as smoothly without the tireless enthusiasm of our excellent students."
Student-Led Preparation Drives Conference Success
A significant feature of the conference has been the remarkable level of student leadership involved in its preparation. Much of the planning, training and coordination has been driven by students themselves, with experienced members of the school's MUN co-curricular activity guiding newer participants on effective debate techniques, research strategies and the art of crafting well-structured resolutions. This peer-led approach has not only strengthened the quality of debate during the conference but also reflects the spirit of MUN itself, a platform where students learn to lead, support one another, and take meaningful ownership of their learning.
One of NLCS (Singapore)'s students delegates mentioned, "Joining NLCS (Singapore) in its founding year made helping organise NLCSIMUN and chairing a committee especially meaningful. I felt immense pride hosting an event reflecting our school's international culture and academic ambition. Welcoming delegates from sister schools was genuinely exciting - their diverse perspectives made discussions dynamic and insightful. Chairing required vision, adaptability and compassion, deepening my understanding of what MUN truly stands for."
Student Chairs Guide Debates and Build Community
During the conference itself, this student leadership takes center stage. These student chairs act as subject matter experts in their respective committees, skillfully guiding debates while creating an inclusive environment where even first-time delegates feel empowered to contribute. They also take on a key role in ensuring that guidelines are followed across the weekend. It's this combination of responsibility and support that makes MUN such a powerful learning experience, pushing students to lead while simultaneously helping others find their footing.
A committee chair from NLCS London reflected, "Chairing the DISEC committee at NLCSMUN was incredibly rewarding. I was particularly impressed by delegates' enthusiasm and the high level of debate and diplomacy. It was especially fulfilling to see individuals grow in confidence and flourish throughout the conference. The experience truly embodied the theme of 'Bridges Across Borders' and I wished the trip to Singapore could have been longer."
Beyond the committee rooms, the conference offers rich opportunities for cultural exchange and connection. Visiting delegates also had the opportunity to explore Singapore together, visiting iconic landmarks while building connections with peers from across the NLCS global network. These shared moments culminate in a celebratory gala dinner, bringing all four schools together for an evening that honors not just their accomplishments, but the genuine friendships and mutual respect that have blossomed throughout the event. On the final day of the conference, students also had the opportunity to visit both Gardens by the Bay and the Art Science museum, getting the chance to explore cultural sites together and build fantastic memories.
Cultural Exchange Beyond the Committee Rooms
For many students, participating in MUN is a transformative experience that encourages them to think beyond their immediate environment and engage thoughtfully with global challenges. They discover their own voices, learn to articulate complex ideas with clarity, and advocate persuasively for positions they may not have considered before. This process of intellectual challenge and personal growth helps them develop empathy, resilience, and the confidence to engage with difficult questions, exemplifying NLCS's steadfast commitment to developing globally minded citizens equipped with critical thinking, diplomacy, and collaborative problem-solving skills needed to navigate an increasingly interconnected world.
Ultimately, they learn that effective leadership isn't about having all the answers, it's about asking the right questions, valuing diverse perspectives, and working together toward solutions that serve the greater good
Developing Global Citizens Through MUN
Students from NLCS Kobe reflected on their experience, noting "It made me realise that if I work hard, I can do really well and that motivated me to be better. I liked how everyone was friendly and supportive and even picked up a few new English vocabulary and phrases, which inspired me to learn more."
The inaugural International MUN Conference at NLCS (Singapore) has set a powerful precedent for what the NLCS global network can achieve when students are given the platform to lead. Over three remarkable days, delegates from London, Jeju, Dubai, and Kobe did not just debate resolutions - they built lasting connections, challenged their own perspectives, and demonstrated the kind of thoughtful, collaborative leadership the world needs. In creating this space for student voice and international collaboration, NLCS (Singapore) has shown that when young people are empowered to engage meaningfully with global challenges, they don't just rise to the occasion, they inspire others to do the same.

The Korean skincare brand debuts a global campaign, built around the PDRN Collagen Glow Facial Serum Spray
LOS ANGELES, June 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Anua, the Korean skincare brand that has taken U.S. beauty retail by storm, today announces Kendall Jenner as its first global brand ambassador. Alongside the announcement, Anua is launching a worldwide campaign centered on its PDRN Collagen Glow Facial Serum Spray featuring Jenner.
The timing reflects how far Anua has come in the American market. In 2024, the brand was named TikTok Shop's #1 Beauty Brand, achieving the top single-brand revenue on TikTok Shop U.S., and earned Amazon Top Brand recognition for sales performance across the platform in both 2024 and 2025. During Amazon Prime Day U.S. in July 2024, Anua ranked #1 in its category, with sales increasing 537% year over year. By 2025, the brand had surpassed $500 million in global revenue, with the U.S. as its largest market, and had sold more than 40 million units worldwide across 160 countries. Today, Anua is sold in more than 20,000 retail doors across the U.S., underscoring its rapid expansion from digital discovery to nationwide retail presence.
Jenner has been open about her straightforward, consistent skincare routines. That mindset aligns closely with how Anua approaches skincare: formulations that are gentle on the skin barrier, ingredient-focused, and built for real results. The campaign brings that connection to life through the PDRN Spray that is part of her daily routine.
"I first discovered the double cleanser, and it has changed my skin. I also love their Azelaic green serum and PDRN which gives me a dewy glow. I am big fan of the products," said Kendall Jenner.
PDRN Collagen Glow Facial Serum Spray, a capsule mist formulated with 2,000ppm of PDRN (Salmon DNA) and Hyaluronic Acid. The spray delivers immediate hydration and a dewy, glass-skin finish without residue or heaviness. An ultra-fine oil-capsule mist, it absorbs quickly, works over or under makeup, and has been clinically shown to improve skin hydration by 30.754% while temporarily reducing skin surface temperature. Suitable for all skin types and non-comedogenic, it was designed for everyday use in any setting.
Launching June 1, 2026 across global digital and social platforms, the campaign gives audiences a look at how Jenner uses the spray in her daily routine, from morning prep through travel and on-set touch-ups. Content will run across Anua's channels and Jenner's platforms as part of a multi-year partnership that includes global campaigns and product launches.
"We are thrilled to partner with Kendall Jenner, a true global icon. Her minimalist and intuitive lifestyle seamlessly aligns with Anua's 'trend meets trust' philosophy, and we look forward to sharing this shared vision with a wider global audience," said Yi Seonhyeong, CEO of The Founders, Inc.
To celebrate the launch, Anua will bring "Dew On The Go" to life with an immersive pop-up experience in New York City's Soho neighborhood. Located at 21 Greene Street offering public access from June 6–7. Inspired by the ease and romance of a European summer escape, the pop-up will invite guests to discover the products and brand Kendall uses to achieve her dewy skin. Guests will experience Anua through a series of sensorial, photo-worthy touchpoints, including a mist reception, product discovery moments, a photo booth, a "Dew Fountain," a Dew Café, and a gift shop experience.

Founded in 2019 by The Founders (Co-CEOs Seonhyeong Lee and Changju Lee), Anua is a Korean skincare brand built around targeted solutions for a wide range of skin concerns. Each product draws on carefully selected natural and dermatological ingredients, designed to deliver visible results across all skin types. The brand's formulations are anchored in ingredients such as heartleaf, peach, PDRN, and rice ceramide, developed with a focus on barrier health, efficacy, and accessibility.
