On behalf of the organising committee of the Dunman High Model ASEAN Plus Summit (DHAP) 2019, I sincerely invite your institution to participate in DHAP 2019.

DHAP is a simulation conference with a trademark focus on ASEAN, where students assume the roles of diplomatic leaders representing ASEAN member states and other international players to debate and discuss regional and international issues. With Singapore having completed her term as the 2018 ASEAN chair, DHAP is well-positioned to promote awareness of the importance of ASEAN amongst students.

This year, we are expecting to host approximately 200 high school students aged 15 to 19 from schools in Singapore and our overseas partner schools. DHAP 2019 will be held from 6 June 2019 (Thursday) to 8 June 2019 (Saturday) at Dunman High School. There will be a dinner on the evening of 7 June 2019 (Friday) for delegates to interact with their fellow delegates on a more personal level.

The theme for DHAP 2019 is Interconnections. Interconnections builds on ASEAN 2019 theme of Advancing Partnership for Sustainability, where ASEAN leaders continue to foster and deepen relationships within and beyond ASEAN partners. In the current geo-political landscape where countries are looking inwards, Interconnections is a reminder to delegates that ASEAN should continue to forge meaningful relations between countries in order to thrive and to remain relevant.

Through DHAP, we hope to encourage delegates to voice their opinions and develop resolutions to regional and global issues. We also seek to cultivate a deeper appreciation for intergovernmental organisations such as ASEAN and the United Nations in delegates. DHAP provides an excellent platform for participants of various local and international institutions to come together and interact while developing a deeper understanding of the workings of international diplomacy and politics.

We look forward to welcoming your school at DHAP 2019. Thank you.

Yours sincerely,
