Dear Delegates,
I am honored to co-chair this year’s Middle School Model United Nations (MS MUN) committee at the BERMUN2 conference. We, students, are the future, and MUN gives us the chance to find political solutions for a world in distress already today. I hope you feel as excited as myself to take part in this committee and engage in the highly relevant debate of “Protecting Women in Conflict Areas.”
In the last year, we have seen an increase in war and violent conflict across the globe, not just in the Middle East and Ukraine. War can increase injustice and inequalities, therefore it is particularly important for us to find effective ways of supporting socially disadvantaged groups like women.
I currently attend 10th grade at the John F. Kennedy School in Berlin. Joining MUN has offered me new perspectives on international issues. I thoroughly believe that debating is one of the most important life skills, so being able to foster this skill in others as a co-chair of a committee brings me great joy. MUN has been one of the activities that have challenged me to deepen my critical thinking skills. I hope this conference will be another opportunity for growth for us all.
This will be my first time chairing at a MUN conference. I hope to instill in you a similar love for global and challenging discussions others have offered me. Other than taking part in MUN, I co-lead the school’s literary arts magazine, lead a school journal, and participate in a Youth Red Cross Group. I enjoy being in nature, making art, and am interested in philosophy.
I look forward to meeting you all in February!
Sincerely,
Aurica Mosse
