Hello everyone!
My name is Jamila, I am 21 years old and currently doing my Bachelors at the University of Cologne, majoring in Social Economy. I was born and raised in Baku, Azerbaijan and exactly there I started my MUN path over 4 years ago. During those 4 years I’ve tried everything MUN can offer (well, besides Media Team): from delegate to Secretary General and even MUN Club President and the greatest thing about MUN is that I still want to come back to it and dont lose my interest in it.
Fun fact: A friend of mine pushed me to attend my first MUN, even though I didnt want to-see how the tables have turned! Since then MUN helped me to open a lot of doors and even get an internship at UN Office. Indeed, MUN is a life-changing opportunity, so dont miss yours!
