I'm taking back knowledge to my friends
Saeed Al Yamahi, 16,Grade 11, Mohammed Bin Hamad Al Sharqi Secondary School in Fujairah,
Aspiring criminologist
"Participating at the MUN Institute programme changed my world. Now I look at other people's perspectives, not only my own, when addressing issues. Representing Japan during the degradation of natural habitat talk gave me a different look on climate change. Unlike the UAE where it's always hot, Japan faces the challenge of snow, earthquakes and natural disasters. Speaking on behalf of Iran in biological and chemical weapons expanded my horizon to crucial global issues. I will launch MUN club at my school to transfer knowledge to my friends back home."
Empowering women is my ?mission
Noura Al Shamsi, 17, Grade 11, Al Dhait Secondary School for Girls in Ras ?Al Khaimah
Aspiring minister or ?ambassador
"Representing Kenya in equal representation for women simulation encouraged me to grow and empower other women in my society and other countries. While Kenya hires women in its government positions, other countries are falling behind in this aspect, which is unfortunate because women's role is crucial in any society's development. When I first started, I wasn't confident enough to speak in public, but the program taught us how to structure our speeches to make our words more influential. Now I follow the hook-point-action structure when I speak!"
Equipped with lifetime skills
Zayed Al Saeedi, 18, Grade 11, Bani Yas School ?in Abu Dhabi
Aspiring UAE ambassador ?in Germany
"Having a certificate from Harvard University as a school student is a privilege, but we will also take the skills we learned for a lifetime. I developed public speaking skills that will help me achieve my dreams in becoming a diplomat who will represent the country in the best image. Representing Ethiopia in degradation of natural habitat and being involved in talks of gender equality help in changing our perspectives and work towards becoming active people in our communities. I look forward to establishing an MUN club in my school."
