Dear BERMUN participants,
The conference theme of this year is Fostering Global Citizenship among Identities and Responsibilities. With this, BERMUN participants take into consideration the importance of encouraging global citizenship, recognizing our various identities, and understanding our responsibilities that are associated with it. Therefore, we must ask ourselves what Global Citizenship represents, while also acknowledging the consonance between individual identity and responsibility.
During the conference, you will gain a deeper understanding of the complex issues our world faces today, as you develop an extensive awareness of our conference theme, through your engagement in discussions and activities. I encourage you to actively participate as you address various issues, to create an environment, where you can connect with others and cultivate a community in which you grow on an intellectual and social level.
As the BERMUN Press team, it is our job to document the conference. Our goal is to provide an accurate representation of what is happening in committees, and the steps that are being taken to reach the goals set by all participants. We hope to capture your interest through the articles written by our reporters and entertain you with the talents of our cartoonists and our video team. Additionally, the BERMUN Press team values honest and long-lasting documentation for everyone’s enjoyment.
I am happy to announce my role as this year’s Editor-in-Chief. I am in the eleventh grade at the John F. Kennedy School in Berlin, and this will be my fifth BERMUN conference. As I have taken on many roles within the Press team, it has allowed me to value the hard work of all press members and to experience the environment of a collective and like-minded community.
During this conference, I hope that you will be successful in carrying out your commitments, whether it is to give a speech, or to organize the conference itself. I look forward to getting to know many new faces, and hope that you all will have a fun and enjoyable time.
