There’s a lot brewing behind the scenes at MUN Impact as the Global Summit approaches. Here’s a glimpse at what’s cooking.
Model United Nations has consistently empowered young minds to become more responsible global citizens and approach problems with a wider focus. It acts as a connection between the youth and the United Nations. MUN gives them a small taste of diplomacy, global-thinking, and truly helping people all over the world. Student delegates often dream of what it’s really like to work for the actual UN.
Mr. Brenden Varma will be sharing with us his life at the REAL UN. On staff since 2002, Mr. Varma currently works in the Outreach Division of the Department of Global Communications. The focus of his presentation will be about how the UN coordinates with MUN programs and how MUN debates differ from those which take place in the UN. All questions about the UN will be answered by him in this presentation on July 23rd from 15:00 to 15:45 UTC.
Mr. Kudzai Mukaratirwa, who currently works as a consultant for the UNODC Regional Office for East Africa Youth Programme will give us a glimpse into his journey from a high school Model UN delegate to working in the UN. Mr. Mukaratirwa will be sharing some prized lessons, illuminating participants as to how they can make the most of their lives. “It is like a ‘living library’ workshop, except YOU are the author,” he says. He will be speaking on 22nd July from 12:00 to 12:45 UTC.
Watch these presentations at our Global Summit to understand the relationship between MUN and the UN, and the UN’s role in bringing universal growth while empowering the young leaders. In addition, the summit will be offering workshops on a wide range of topics, so don’t forget to register!
