AGS Student Participates in MUN

AGS sponsored the participation of Master's student Etienne Rosas (Class of 2012) in a Model UN conference in Utrecht, Netherlands, on February 25-26. This is intended to open the way for the participation of AGS student groups in future MUN conferences around the world.

This two-day conference was organized by University College Utrecht (UCU). Etienne Rosas (2nd from the left on the photo) was one of about 100 participating students from about ten organizations. There were five different panels simulating five organs: UN Security Council, International Court of Justice, European Parliament, UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) and UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). Etienne Rosas represented the Reform Party of Estonia at the European Parliament.

"There is no better way to gain international experience than relating personally to people from all over the world and of all types of backgrounds. This experience allows you to do just that. It really pushes you to step outside of your comfort zone and come up with collective solutions with other participants." says Rosas.

The next MUN conference that AGS students are considering joining will take place in Barcelona on May 2-5, 2012. Etienne Rosas will participate in the training sessions along with Professor Ruchi Anand who supervises this project.
