The Youth Assembly (YA) is a diverse community of international students that discusses critical and global challenges, finding unique solutions through the multicultural perspectives of its members. The BERMUN Youth Assembly aims to address pressing issues affecting young people, empowering them to act and channel their passions towards local projects. The YA is seeking up to 30 students to join its leadership team each year. Interested students should submit a completed YA application before the deadline (see Registration Details for dates).
This year's YA theme is "to be determined"
In light of this year’s annual BERMUN conference topic (Fostering Global Citizenship among Identities and Responsibilities) the YA searches to promote a global identity by implementing grassroot initiatives operating on a local level. The initiatives may focus on different topics such as climate change or class, national, ethnic, racial, gender, or age discrimination.
We encourage constructive, local action plans that promote ways to inclusively bring diverse identities together in a mutually shared global citizenship. In an individual action plan each participant decides on a topic and then proceeds to choose which operators to make use of (public speaking, social media, education in school etc.). The theme allows for creative and unique ideas that can be exchanged and improved through discussions with other participants. With this variety of options we hope to motivate you to create your own initiative and invite you to join and collaborate in our youth assembly.
The YA application includes the following:
Reminder: Applications submitted after the application deadline will not be considered for a position.
