How will this year's edition of RomeMUN be special, in comparison with the past ones?
This year RomeMUN will gather together 1000 students
from all over the world, becoming the biggest UN Model in Europe and among the
biggest ones in the world.
How
has the RomeMUN impacted your life?
Thanks to RomeMUN project I discovered first the immense potentialities that young people from all over the world have, it is impressive to see hundreds of youth who still be inspired by the UN values even if their daily lives is affected from poverty, war and uncertainty of the future. I figure out that beyond those students there is an energy strong enough to reach the solutions for the most important international issues of our time.

What
were the most memorable moments for you?
Each year for me the most memorable moment is the opening ceremony when all delegates are seated together in the same room with all their hopes in their hand, waiting for living one of the most important moments of their lives.

What’s
the most important thing do you think the participants gain from this
experience?
The delegates learn a lot: effective public speaking skills, how to negotiate with many people at the same time, intercultural communications and comprehension, insight of the UN mechanisms and procedures, team working and leaderships skills. in some cases RomeMUN totally changes their point of views favoring a more global and complete idea of the world around them.

How do
you think Model UN prepares people for their future?
As I have told before, Model UN gives first an idea of what does it mean to work for an international organizations so it is an unique experience for those students interested in working for UN in the future, but more generally is a way to learn that negotiation is a way of life, not only in international affairs but in many other aspects of our daily lives.

Are
there any notable alumni from the program?
Among our notable alumni there is the prince of Luxembourg (the youngest one) but many participants have already started their career in the UN or similar organizations an we are sure that some of them will become one days the leaders of our future.

What
do you hope for the future of RomeMUN?
We do hope to reach in few years the size of 5000 delegates and also to establish a more fruitful relationships with the most relevant institutions, both public and private so having the possibility to offer an increasing numbers of scholarships for those students who are very willing to participate but have not sufficient means to cover their participation costs,
