JUEMUN 2017

The 8th Annual Japan University English Model United Nations
Kobe City University of Foreign Studies
UN Body: Commission on the Status of Women (CSW)
Theme: Women’s Empowerment and its Link to Sustainable Development
Participants: 175
Participating Universities: 45

Secretary-General: Haruna Mori, Kobe City University of Foreign Studies

Model United Nations is a truly unique educational experience in which the lessons learned and challenges faced differ for each individual. It was my honor to be a delegate for NMUN Czech Republic (2015) and JUEMUN 2016, and then, serve as an organizer for NMUN Japan (2016). Therefore, I strongly wish to “give back” to the MUN community by offering an unforgettable experience to every delegate who attends JUEMUN 2017. Whether this will be your hundredth or your very first MUN conference, I hope that JUEMUN 2017 becomes another step in your lifelong journey to discover new facts and meet big challenges, not only in the world but also in your self.
