Going up from Austria's highest office 🏢⬆️ In #Vienna, I step off the metro and watch people with colorful badges turn left toward the UN.

“We need meaningful youth engagement now, it’s time to deliver.” ⏱️ We are beyond excited to announce our contribution to NORRAG Policy Insights #05, which was launched at the United Nations Summit of the Future in New York City on September 22, 2024.🇺🇳 Our article, "Untapped Potential: The United Nations' Missed Connection with Youth," highlights the transformative role that Model United Nations (MUN) plays in connecting young people with global issues and the United Nations. In it, we advocate for stronger integration of MUN into the UN system, including operational support, deeper youth engagement, and partnerships with academic institutions. Our goal is to ensure that young voices are not just heard but empowered to drive meaningful change in global governance. 🤝 "When NORRAG reached out to us, it was a no-brainer to contribute to this important initiative. We're incredibly grateful for the opportunity to highlight such a critical topic that aligns so closely with mymun's mission"💬 A huge thank you to the entire NORRAG team, especially Carolina E., for their unwavering support throughout this collaboration.

Big shoutout to Beatriz Santos Mayo, who’s writing a great series on MUN Stars! Somehow, I ended up in her latest piece—if I’m a "MUN Star," I guess that makes me a red giant (for the non-astro nerds, that's one of the oldest star types in the universe). Bea’s article takes a look at my MUN journey—from stumbling into my first conference in high school at ISR International School on the Rhine GmbH 10 years ago to working on MUN Command and mymun everything in between. It’s been a wild ride, but what really stands out is the amazing community that makes MUN what it is. If you’re curious (or just need a laugh at my expense), check out Bea’s series through the link in the first comment. Thanks to everyone who’s been part of this journey!

May, what a month! 🇪🇸 For a whole week, the entire mymun team gathered in the stunning locale of Mallorca, Spain, for our first-ever workation. We dove into numerous workshops and strategy sessions aimed at revolutionizing our processes. These sessions were designed to create an even more seamless experience for delegates and organizers, and to elevate conferences to new heights, taking them #totheMUN. 🇫🇷 Fresh from the mymun trip, I had the privilege of joining the international press corps delegation at LyonMUN as a journalist. Immersed in the proceedings of the UN Security Council, the committee delved into the complexities of UN peacekeeping missions, and arms diversion in Africa, crafting a remarkable press release on the latter. After three days of intense debates, press conferences, an insightful intervention from Naima Kkorchi, and numerous interviews, I was honored to receive the "Best Article" award for my coverage. 🇨🇭 To wrap up the month, I attended the Geneva Trialogue with Jonas Bruns and Alexander Dietz, where mymun was the special guest organizer. This event brought together leaders from academia, international organizations, and the private sector to address education for the SDGs. Held at the ITU during the WSIS+20 Forum and AI for Good Summit, the focus was on using AI to enhance MUN education. At our table, Pierre-Etienne Bourneuf, Noor Alkhadhar, Colin Wells, and I successfully explored using tailored chatbots to help MUN delegates access, use, and understand League of Nations documents, while planning for better training and accessibility to the archives. Thank you everyone for all the amazing memories and opportunities!

The Geneva Trialogue 2024: AI & Education for the SDGs 🌐🤖📚 Organized by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) and the University of Geneva, the 6th edition of the event took place on May 31 at the ITU Monbrillant building during the Youth Day of the WSIS+20 Forum High-Level Event and the AI for Good Summit. During that day, we witnessed groundbreaking innovations and discussions aimed at tackling global challenges through youth-driven AI solutions.
