Welcome to MUNiSC XIV!

My name is Daniel Park, currently a senior attending the International School of Qingdao. It is a privilege to serve you as the Deputy Secretary-General for MUNiSC XIV. This year’s MUNiSC will be my 12th MUN conference, as well as my last high school MUN conference.

Overcoming Obstacles to Collaborative Efforts has been adopted as the theme of this year’s conference. During recent years, the world has walked away from realizing essential principles of the United Nations and forgot the commitment to achieve global peace and cooperation. Even as of now, ongoing wars and conflicts are making people desperately nervous, fundamental human rights are still not guaranteed to a lot of people, and growing political tensions between countries is definitely not what the Untied Nations pursues. However, it is time for the world to proceed with the next chapter of its history. The world needs to take each step together to overcome obstacles. Actions must be taken before it is too late, so that no one will be left behind.

By carving the theme deeply into your mind, I encourage all participants not to be intimidated from explicitly proclaiming your opinions, but instead to seize this unique opportunity to demonstrate your leadership. I guarantee that the MUNiSC XIV will allow all participants to reveal their potential to become future leaders. Take the responsibility to represent your position and show the grace to perform your duty.

I am eager to see how participants will fruitfully connect with others to achieve ambitious and constructive goals together. Although this year’s MUNiSC is a virtual conference, once you overcome the tall barrier of computer screens, you will be introduced to gain various experiences in this conference. Improve your public speaking skills, strengthen your knowledge in current issues, and most importantly, make new friends!

See you all at MUNiSC XIV!
