" I have been to 6 MUNs in total till now, and it has been a totally great experience. Since attending MUNs, my life has taken a different roll to it. I didn't have the best feelings in the first few MUNs with small countries, but when I got USA twice, in PORGMUN and WAWMUN, I won best delegate on both occasions. MUN is the best academic activity involved with knowlegde, skill, communication and team-work techniques. Working as a chair is even better because you get to control others in a good way.
My favorite country in the world is Australia, not because of Kangaroos. My favorite MUN moment is solving the Ebola crisis with a resolution of Vitamin C pills, and solving the India-Pakistan Kashmir Conflict. Personally, I cannot live without Sports in my life. I always folow two rules in my life,
1 - " In front of fear there's victory "
2 - In life there are two types of people, winners and lossers, life only give you one chance to become a winner, take it when you get it "

" I have not attended many MUN’s; however the ones I have been to were diverse enough for me to gather significant life experiences out of them. I was lucky enough to be an Ambassador in one of the biggest MUN’s in Europe (the BERMUN), and was USA in our schools MUN. The processes of MUN appeals to me due to its charisma and knowledge gaining, each student gets to be an important delegate for a while and gets to meet people or even cultivate a part of him/herself they hadn’t before. You can have fiery debates without people walking away or asking you to “chill”.
My favorite place in the world is Greece, as I come from there. It is such a cultured and beautiful country; however I fancy other similar places with unique lifestyles and cultures.
I don’t think there is anything I couldn’t live without if we don’t take into account physical necessities. "

" Hello,
I am the chair of the Security Council of the Model United Nations of International American School of Warsaw. I’ve had 7 MUN’s so far, and this one will be the 8th. My co-chair and I have worked very hard to organize this year’s committee for you all and I guarantee the fun. My favorite MUN experience was doing an opening speech for my delegation, South Korea. I was very nervous but it ended up being a funny story to tell my friends about. I hope to see you all soon "

" I’ve been on 4 muns and will probably will go on one more next year . All of them where in different places and where a lot of fun and a huge learning experience. In all the muns I was a participant and now for the first time I will get to be a chair. The part I’m most exited is to see the debate from the chairs point of view. I hope I can see my favorite country the DPRK be the leader of the debate as it makes them fun and really controversial, which leads to a really good resolution. I was also asked to say a thing I would never give up and I would have to say my family and friends. "

" In my youngest years , I travelled to various parts of the world. I lived on three continents, Europe, Asia and North America. That is most likely, due to the exposure of a wide variety of cultures, I gained a big interest in history and politics. Understanding the policies of countries and getting to know the order of the world always intrigued me. Having heard about the opportunity to turn my interest into something concrete, I started attending the Model United Nations meetings, in various locations in both Poland and abroad.
My Mun experience started In grade 11, when I first attended an offical M.U.N In Wrocław. Since then, I’ve attended over 5 M.U.Ns, in a wide variety of committees. Needless to say, I enjoy this activity greatly. For that reason, I strongly urge people to join the IASMUn, where a great deal of experience and more than qualified people I’ve worked with in the past, will be chairs in various interesting comittes, tackling important world-wide issues.

" Hey, my name is Lilla! This is my second IASMUN and third MUN overall. MUN is a great opportunity to become more aware about international struggles and more involved in our school's society. You'll learn your strengths and weaknesses as you work with others to come to a resolution suitable for everyone. If you're given a lesser known, or less developed country, don't worry! As long as you make your statements heard, you'll be treated with the same respect as the superpowers! One thing I can't ever give up is reading because it broadens your mind and calls on your to think about your experiences and how you can change the world."

" I've participated in three MUNs, IAS, Prague and Wroclaw, all where assigned in the ECOSOC Committee. I mostly like countries that have the capability to help Less developed countries yet still contain conflicts with developed countries. One of my favorite things in MUN would be the finale where we find out how our delegates have solved the problems assigned.I enjoy going for walks and trying out new types of foods from different cultures.

Welcome Delegates.
I have participated in IASMUN representing China, emerging with the best delegate diploma, and WawMUN representing France, emerging with an honorary mention. I have been a part of the UNDP and WIPO committees, having an exciting debate result at both times. It has always been a fortune to have a P5 country, which makes them my favourites. The best part of MUN is always having met and made an unlimited amount of new friends. People who you knew, you discover another side of them! It's not only about the debates, but neither is it solely about the rest! Despite being the youngest member of the IASMUN Secretariat, I would like to let the delegates know that it is not the most significant matter. What matters is the effort put into the preparation!
Have fruitful debates..
