The incredible journey of Jason Lewis had started in 1994, when he along with Steve Smith a fellow adventurer had set out on the 75,000-km journey from Greenwich, London which would have taken them across the globe. Jason had circumnavigated the earth using a paddleboat, kayak, roller skates and a bicycle. Jason has been an inspiration to many and now promotes sustainability. As a part of this Jason has travelled to 37 countries, talking to students and involving them in issues like world citizenship, conservation, zero carbon emission travel and awareness of consumption habits on the health of the planet. Jason Lewis will be addressing 1500 student delegates as well as leaders from various industries at the Harvard MUN India conference, which is co-hosted by The Harvard International Relations Council & Worldview Education.

Speaking about this association Dr. Santosh Kudtarkar, Associate Dean - Faculty of Liberal Education of FLAME University said, “HMUN India is striving to bring together student leaders who hope to improve their societies through innovative and wide-ranging voices and develop the world socially, economically, and politically to create a better future for all of us. FLAME University has a similar goal to push the design and nature of studies and to create a societal upgradation phenomenon particularly in the fields of liberal education and leadership. FLAME University is conceptualized with a desire to give something back to society. Hence, it is only fitting that HMUN and FLAME University have an association to achieve their common goals. We are very happy about this partnership and hope to continue it in the future."
