Dear Delegates,
Welcome to the Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Committee at the 2024 BERMUN conference!
At this year's BERMUN, we will discuss the conference theme, Fostering Global Citizenship among Identities and Responsibilities. Global Citizenship is an idea that breaches political and geographical barriers. We all have separate nationalities and religions, and yet, as individuals living in an era of conflict and inequality, the shared responsibility to address international issues falls upon our shoulders.
We will be discussing the topics of Promoting Health Equity in Rural Areas and Addressing Child Labor in Supply Chains. The UN Sustainable Development Goal 3 emphasizes that universal access to health care is a fundamental human right. Every individual, regardless of race, nationality, or gender, is entitled to healthcare opportunities. Despite this, citizens in rural areas are often confronted with a limited or lacking health care system. The responsibility to provide equitable healthcare, regardless of identity, is one we all share.
I am currently an 11th grader at the John F. Kennedy School in Berlin. In my free time, you can find me hanging out with friends, boxing, and debating. This will be my 8th BERMUN conference and my second time as chair. BERMUN has granted me the opportunity to broaden my horizons and gain confidence through public speaking. I hope to help other students have similar learning experiences.
I look forward to meeting you in November!
Mycah Hardister
