With more than 1800 participants from 101 countries, our Global Summit was a total success; we got to know real changemakers and left youth from all over the world feeling inspired. On the back of such a successful event, you are cordially invited to the MUNI Global Summit 2.0, Driving Action and Impact for the SDGs.
None of us wanted the past global summit to end and that is why in this post we will enlist some of the most ICONIC moments of the last summit before handing over to the second installment of the Global Summit.
The closing ceremony definitely was one of the BEST moments; some people showed their absolute talent, whether to sing, rap, or make everyone happy. Now, let’s get to the moving part. There was a lot of nostalgia; we didn’t want the summit to end; we were all so engaged and already had made great friends.
First of all, social hours. Can´t we all agree those were amazing? So thanks to everyone who made it possible!
If you weren’t involved, the social hours were the moments to chill, take a break from stress, make connections and friends, share ideas, and take part in every activity you could imagine. Our amazing admins made incredibly fun games and encouraged everyone to talk, so if you are shy, don’t worry, we will make sure you feel welcomed when these sessions make a much needed comeback.
At the past summit, we had a 24-hour help desk where you could stop by in case you had questions or wanted information about MUNI and its many programs. But the MUNI community took it further, and at the help desk, there was always a party going on; that was the space to chat and relax while participants were informed about whatever they wanted to know.
The opening ceremony was perfect! It was the first day, and everyone was so excited that finally, the much awaited Global Summit was about to begin. Everything was dealt with professionally, and Ms. Martin’s words were inspiring to all of us.
And finally, all of the sessions were amazing! The participants were engaged and always showed their appreciation to the speakers and presenters. It was truly amazing to watch how we can start making an impact and inspiring others to join us.
Thank you everyone for staying with us and remembering our favorite moments of the last summit. We are really looking forward to seeing you all again from 23rd to 25th of October!
