We are pleased that more and more Model United Nations conferences in Europe are approaching us and would like to use a LineUpr event app. Since last year we can also welcome the IsarMUN to this circle.

As one of the biggest MUN events in Germany, they also benefit greatly from an event app. In this interview, Anna-Sophie explains how they were able to enhance the communication comfort for all participants with LineUpr and at the same time were able to work sustainably. Have fun while reading.

LineUpr: Hello Anna-Sophie. Thank you for taking the time to do this interview. Please introduce yourself.

Anna-Sophie: Hello. Thank you for the opportunity and your support!

I am 20 years old and have been studying Law (StEx) and the Near and Middle East (B.A.) for 4 semesters as a double degree at the LMU in Munich. Last year, together with my Co-CEO Sebastian Eppelt and a team of over 50, I set up the Isar Model United Nations 2018. As a MUN conference, we have been simulating the committee work of the United Nations and similar international institutions (e. g. NATO, WTO, …). This has been done for one weekend every year for the last 12 years under the umbrella of our parent organization MUNAM e. V. (Model United Nations Association Munich e. V.) with over 200 student participants from all over the world.

LineUpr: How much time and work do you spend on average on the planning of the IsarMUN?

Anna-Sophie: In total, more than 50 students and young professionals participated in the organization of IsarMUN on a voluntary basis last year. Of these, 13 were involved intensively throughout the year in the planning and implementation. Divided into an “Executive Board” and an “Academics Team”, we start about a year in advance with the logistics and content organization of the IsarMUN. Weekly meetings to discuss what has been achieved in the different work areas, where there are problems and what is still to be done. As the conference gets closer, more time will have to be invested by each individual. During the conference itself, the team will be on duty almost 24/7. From setting up in the morning and coordinating the lunch break, to taking care of the evening program, which often goes into the morning hours – sleep becomes a minor matter. Depending on your position and time, the IsarMUN will be a full-time job.

LineUpr: What makes the IsarMUN so special?

Anna-Sophie: The IsarMUN is one of Germany’s largest Model United Nations conferences. In addition to having the beautiful Munich as a location, we are particularly renowned for our internationality. Our more than 250 participants were made up of 51 different nationalities last year. Hardly any other MUN conference in Germany is that international.

Furthermore, we attach great importance to organizing exciting offers for everyone, from MUN-Newbies to the old hands. Thus, in addition to several beginner and refresher workshops, we also have an entry-level program for committee chairmen and, for the first time last year, we had an academic specialization program.

LineUpr: You used LineUpr for the first time. What was the decisive argument for you to use an event app?

Anna-Sophie: First and foremost is the comfort for the participants. With LineUpr, our “delegates” always have all the important information, whether it’s directions, room information or timelines, on hand and do not depend on a printed version that can be easily misplaced or forgotten. Also, with LineUpr short-term changes always reach our participants swiftly and without any deviations.

LineUpr: How did you use the app before, during and after the IsarMUN?

Anna-Sophie: We mainly used the app to share the schedule and the allocated rooms/location information with our participants. Additional information such as the dress code for the respective agenda item could also be integrated practically. For future conferences, we would like to make the IsarMUN app even more interactive, allowing us to share not only the schedule, but also documents created during the conference, and to generate participant surveys.

LineUpr: How did your visitors react to the app?

Anna-Sophie: We received consistently positive feedback. In particular, our final feedback reflected the enthusiasm of the participants. So, when asked what was especially useful, LineUpr was mentioned again and again and the Multiple Choice question designated for LineUpr showed that all participants regarded LineUpr as a valuable addition to the conference.

LineUpr: Why should other MUN conferences use an event app?

Anna-Sophie: First and foremost, the comfort for the participants, as well as the simplification of the communication and the resulting increase in the professionalism of the entire conference are of paramount importance. Also, LineUpr can serve as a valuable tool for a greener conference and significantly reduce paper usage. Of course, depending on usage, this also means valuable savings on printing costs.

LineUpr: Which top tips for the use of LineUpr would you like to give to other organizers?

Anna-Sophie: LineUpr is so intuitive to use that not so many tips are needed. But what we definitely want to recommend is to invest enough time in the preparation of the app on the one hand, and on the other to assign a person responsible for the app during the event to fully exploit all of the great possibilities.

LineUpr: Thank you Anna-Sophie, for the great interview. We are always happy to support Model United Nations conferences with a LineUpr Event App. More interesting information can be found on IsarMun.org. They are also worth a visit on Facebook and Instagram.

We are already looking forward to the conference this year.

The post Event Apps for MUN Conferences – Experiences of the IsarMUN first appeared on LineUpr Blog.

Imagine being able to attend a political meeting at the headquarters of the UN in the rooms of the Human Rights Council just once. Someone who is allowed to experience this every year is Cindy Bischofberger. She is the co-organizer of the GIMUN and because of the location, the GIMUN has a special advantage. She is allowed to hold her conference on the premises of the UN Headquarters in Geneva.

Since 2018, GIMUN has been using an event app. How much time Cindy invested in the creation and exactly what she used the app for is what this interview is about today. Have fun while reading. ?

LineUpr: Hello Cindy. Thank you for taking the time to do this interview. Please introduce yourself.

Cindy: I am an International Relations student in Geneva, currently occupying the position of Under-Secretary General of Logistics for GIMUN (Geneva International Model United Nations, a student non-governmental organization with Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations). I grew up in the German-speaking part of Switzerland but am now lucky to have surpassed the national linguistic border by doing my studies in the French-speaking region. I have always been fascinated with foreign languages and cultures and love to travel and get to know diverse people from around the globe. These interests are perfectly summed up both by my university courses, but also my activity for GIMUN.

LineUpr: How much time and work do you spend on average on the planning of GIMUN?

Cindy: That is a really difficult question. As MUNs are in general based on voluntary work, nobody really does statistics about the amount of time that goes into the organization of such an event as the Annual Conference. I can definitely say that the workload was different every other week. Sometimes, I spent only several hours a week, other times more than 8 hours a day. It is also important to add that the whole GIMUN Team consists of more than 20 people having different tasks (Committee Management, HR, Logistics, Translation and Interpretation as the Annual Conference is a completely bilingual event, Cultural Events, Press, etc.). The involvement and effort of every person contributed to a successful conference in the end.

LineUpr: What makes GIMUN so unique? How do you differentiate yourself from other MUN events?

Cindy: Compared to other MUN events, the two things that make GIMUN unique would have to be its bilingualism and the location of the committee session in the European headquarter of the UN. We are privileged having the chance to use these facilities, which only makes the bilingualism possible (as the booths for interprets are available there and make it possible to have direct interpretation in four of our six committees). Already the opportunity to have an NGO badge and walking around freely (and getting a sense of orientation in the many different buildings), discovering the Human Rights Council with its amazing ceiling art done by Miquel Barceló and enjoying the breaks outside looking for the peacocks are special.

The bilingualism, on the other hand, gives you an insight into the real world when every word of the delegates are translated into several languages. It is amazing to see the interprets their work and the participants of the conference overcoming their language differences and reaching common goals nevertheless.

LineUpr: What was the decisive argument for you to use an event app? How can also other MUN conferences benefit from an event app?

Cindy: Eric from LineUpr contacted us directly and we gladly took the chance to have an event app for the first time. It was an amazing experience and I would recommend it to every other MUN as it gives you a different platform to share information. With the advancements of technology, everyone is used to having access to information all day at every place, so an app is convenient to have all the people involved up to date at every moment. Guessing from LineUpr’s openness and friendliness, if other MUN conferences are also interested in having an event app it would be worth contacting LineUpr directly

LineUpr: How long before the event do you start creating the event app? How much time do you invest in the app?

Cindy: Once again I cannot say exactly how much time it took me to create, complete and keep updated the app. Although it is really easy to handle the website on which the app is made, it took me between at least 30-40 hours to include all the necessary information. Because there were some last minute schedule changes, most of the work was done around two weeks before the conference.

LineUpr: When and how do you inform the participants of the event about the event app?

Cindy: Exactly due to the last minute adaptions, we just informed our participants one day before the conference about the existence of the app and reminded them once again during our Opening Ceremony the following day. I would have loved to publish it a little earlier so that the participants could have also made use of the general information (how to get to Geneva, what apps are useful in the city).

LineUpr: How did your visitors react to the app?

Cindy: Apart from some people having had problems getting the app to the home screen of mobile phones, we have just had positive feedbacks. Especially during the day of registration where rooms had to be changed a lot with the many workshops going on, everyone was glad to have direct access to the schedule online. The same goes for the first day at the UN. Furthermore, it was also appreciated having the addresses of the places for our social events in the evening so that they were easy to fin.

Some people were surprised, as they have never seen an app for a MUN event. However, several people told me that the participants made good use of the app during the whole conference.

LineUpr: How has your event or event organization changed by using an event app?

Cindy: I can start with my personal experience: I did not have to know every room of every committee by heart, but could just look at my phone to answer the questions of people that were lost Furthermore, it is another possibility to show visibility of the whole organization and motivate the whole team to try something new that has never been done before. For our 20th Anniversary this year, the survey about a new slogan was easily integrated into the app and every person had fast access to it. For the rest of the communication, it would maybe have been better to have a link to our Instagram and Facebook page, as most of the information was published there by our Public Relations Director. As there was a lot going on, we, unfortunately, have not had the chance to adopt this procedure which would have made the app even more useful.

LineUpr: Is there a crazy story from the last event that you want to share with us?

Cindy: Well, I would not say that it is a crazy story, but definitely a funny one. When organizing the catering for the dinner on Saturday night, we went to pick it up with a Renault Clio and the four men handing out the food just looked at us as if we were mad. “How do you want to put everything inside this tiny car? You will have to drive at least 4 times to get everything to the conference”. We proofed them wrong by just driving twice and having fun cruising the city center with a car packed with yummy pizza and some drinks, being able to provide the hungry participants a full catering right on time after the Opening Ceremony.

Side note: because the Opening Ceremony was in the ancient building of the University of Geneva, we had no elevator to take all the catering up to the second floor. This meant that we arrived out of breath and could barely speak when we had to give a speech presenting our department.

LineUpr: Which top three tips would you like to give to other organizers when using LineUpr?

Cindy: 1. Definitely look at how other MUNs have organized their apps and what they included in it. This helped me a lot when thinking about the setup and what to include in the schedule etc.

2. Be cautious when it comes to the pictures you want to include in the app: make sure that they are quadratic and not any other form so that you have no negative surprises when the upload is done.

3. Start to familiarise yourself with the website where you create the app already in the beginning, this makes it easier when you actually add more information about your event.

LineUpr: Thank you, Cindy, for the nice interview. We learned a lot about your MUN event. It is certainly very exciting to be able to carry out your MUN event in the rooms of the UN.

You will find more information about the GIMUN on their website, Twitter, and Facebook. And for all those who are more of the optical type, visit the GIMUn on Instagram or YouTube.

In the case, you also organize MUN Events, talk to us. We would love to support your conference with an event app.

Today we have the co-organizer of the largest MUN conference in Germany. Lukas from HamMUN will tell us what the term MUN stands for and how an event app can support these conferences. Have fun while reading. ?

LineUpr: Hello Lukas. Thank you for taking the time to do this interview. Please introduce yourself.

Lukas: Gladly! My name is Lukas; I am 21 years old and study economics at the University of Hamburg. I started attending Model United Nations conferences during my school years, and have been involved in the organization of HamMUN for the last two years, this year, together with Olga, Secretary-General, I was in charge of the conference.

LineUpr: How much time and work do you spend on average on the planning of HamMUN?

Lukas: The HamMUN takes place every year in December and planning usually begins in February. It usually takes one to two months for the team to be created. This year, our core team comprised 25 students who helped to organize HamMUN during their studies. For Olga and me as secretary-generals, but of course also for the rest of our team, that meant 10 to 20 hours of work per week in most cases. If there was a lot of work to do, then it was necessary to work through an entire weekend.

In the summer, the 50 or so chairpersons of our 15 committees, who applied from all over the world and helped us prepare the content, joined us. Of course, we must not forget the great assistants who helped us sometimes with 20 hours during the weekend. In total, 100 people in different positions were involved in the implementation.

LineUpr: What makes HamMUN so unique? How do you differentiate yourself from other MUN events?

Lukas: Firstly, we are the largest MUN conference in Germany and one of the largest in Europe, so of course one already sticks out of the crowd a bit. Then, of course, there would still be (how could it be different in Hamburg …) the parties! I’ve been to 10 different conferences myself and have not found any other one to organize such good parties to get to know the other participants in a relaxed atmosphere during the evening.

LineUpr: You have already used LineUpr twice. What was the decisive argument for you to use an event app?

Lukas: In recent years, we have given our participants a booklet with the schedule and key information about the conference. In 2017 we used the app and the booklet in parallel. We were so pleased with the feedback and our experience with LineUpr that last year we decided to use the app exclusively. On the one hand, of course, this saves costs and resources for printing, but it also has many other benefits.

LineUpr: How did you use the app before, during and after HamMUN?

Lukas: In the one to two months before the conference, we started to use the app, especially for survival tips, to prepare our participants for the weekend in Hamburg. The main part of the usage was of course during the conference with the schedule and the site plan. This year our campus was full of construction sites and the map function really saved us.

LineUpr: How did your visitors react to the app?

Lukas: The feedback for the app was very positive. Both for the practical added value as well as for the layout and the optics.

LineUpr: Why should other MUN conferences use an event app?

Lukas: An event app is an excellent alternative to a traditional paper conference booklet. It saves resources, the information can be updated later and I cannot say enough about how convenient the map function is for the participants. The benefits seem to have already spread in the MUN world since the HamMUN 2017 and I think that there will be even more conferences coming to you in the future.

LineUpr: Is there perhaps an extraordinary story from the last HamMUN that you would like to share with us?

Lukas: On Saturday morning a participant contacted us via WhatsApp and asked us how to get to the university, he woke up the morning after the party in the zoo. In retrospect, it turned out that one of our organizers allowed a joke. Actually, we should have been skeptical from the start. With the map function of the app, he would have found the way to the university on his own…

LineUpr: Which top three tips would you like to give other organizers when using LineUpr?

Lukas: Start a few months before the conference to try out the app and discover the individual functions, the design works super intuitive and you can change everything later without much effort. If you have to make announcements during the conference, the app is a great channel for it and, of course, most importantly: Do enough advertising for the app so that all participants can see that it exists and how practical it is.

LineUpr: Thank you for the great interview Lukas. MUN events are a great idea and we are always very proud to be able to support these events with our apps. More information about HamMUN can be found on their website, Facebook and Instagram.

We are looking forward to the next HamMUN.

Time for another interview about a MUN event. Today we have Tijana Istochka from the AUCMUN as a guest. The AUCMUN is the Model United Nations Conference of the Amsterdam University Collage. Although this conference is still quite young, it has shown remarkable growth in recent years.

Tijana explains to us how an event app has helped AUCMUN to optimize event processes and what benefits MUN events can generally expect from an event app.

LineUpr: Hello Tijana. Thank you for taking the time to do this interview. Please introduce yourself and AUCMUN.

Tijana: Hello. Thank you so much for taking the time to interview me. My name is Tijana and I am a third year Social Sciences student at Amsterdam University College. I’ve participated in MUN conferences before, which is why I decided to bridge my interest in finance with that for International Relations by working as a part of the Finance Team of AUCMUN. AUCMUN is Amsterdam University College’s own Model United Nations conference, that is actually relatively new but is expanding quite fast. The sessions are held at the academic building of the university, and the conference is entirely organized by students of our university. Each year we work on growing and improving the conference, as well as providing a better professional, networking and social experience for the delegates that are joining the conference in Amsterdam from around the world.

LineUpr: How much time and work do you spend, on average, on the planning of an event?

Tijana: The planning of the event begins at the end of each school year, meaning that it extends over a period of 6 months. This year’s organizing team was composed of 19 students, divided into four teams – Finance, PR, Logistics and Secretariat – and all of the teams met and worked every week to plan and discuss tasks. Weekly hours usually vary depending on the nature of each team’s tasks, but we do try to work at a consistent pace for the duration of those 6 months.

LineUpr: What makes your event special? For example, we already had organizers of HAMMUN and EuroMUN as guests on the blog. What differentiates the AUCMUN from them?

Tijana: From last year when I got the position of Finance Manager for AUCMUN, to this year when I had the opportunity to be the Head of Finance, I have helped and watched the conference be established as a separate committee of the student association, extended to a longer conference and expanded to twice its capacity – all in one year’s time. What makes AUCMUN special then, I believe, is the enthusiasm, teamwork and constant efforts for improvement that go into organizing everything – from the smallest details to the running of the entire conference. Each member of the AUCMUN team is dedicated to making the experience as successful and enjoyable as possible for its participants, and at an individual level. I myself guided a group of delegates on a tour through Amsterdam, welcomed delegates at the opening of the conference and went room to room to observe and offer help to all the committees. We believe that personal connections are important in providing a satisfying and fulfilling experience.

LineUpr: Do you use printed products to distribute information locally? If so, which and why?

Tijana: We had discussed using printed products for the purpose of distributing information or promoting the event in general, but we decided that it’s more environmentally and cost-friendly to opt for digital solutions. A small number of flyers was printed out for the purpose of spreading the word around our university, such as offering the flyers to students who might be interested in joining the conference but had not seen the details online, but we didn’t use them outside of the academic building.

LineUpr: Have you already used event apps? If so, what are your experiences and If not, why?

Tijana: This was the first time an event app was used for the conference. I think that it was the first time the board had heard of event apps, how they’re used and why they are useful. The suggestion to use such an app came from within the team, and it was LineUpr specifically that we looked at and immediately liked.

LineUpr: How did you use the app before, during and after the event?

Tijana: Before the event we made sure that the schedule (including locations and times) was accessible, added information about our guest speakers and provided information about our sponsors. Also, we informed all participants about the app when we gave them the rest of the informational materials. We had explained to them how to find the agenda and details of the conference on the app, and that we encourage them to use it as it is even accessible without access to internet. After the event we brainstormed on how to maximize the use of the features provided by LineUpr for next year’s conference.

LineUpr: How did your guests respond to the app?

Tijana: We did ask participants for feedback on specific elements of the conference, including the app. We received positive feedback not only then, but also even before asking about the app specifically. The general opinion was that the app was very useful and most delegates said they were satisfied with how easy and straightforward the process of following the agenda was made for them. Almost all delegates were informed about all activities throughout the conference, which helped the conference run smoothly. I was receiving questions about the agenda from delegates who did not get a chance to download or understand how the app works, but when I tried to approach delegates myself to make sure that everything was clear, I almost always got the response that they had figured it out from the app. This was a clear indication to me that the app is helping in keeping the participants informed and the organizational team focused on overseeing everything else.

LineUpr: Why is the usage of an event app for MUN Events a great idea? How will the MUN event organizers and attendees benefit from the app?

Tijana: I think that as a participant of any conference, you don’t want to have to ask a lot of questions about the agenda or procedure throughout the conference, and as an organizer you like to know that you don’t have to answer a lot of them. This is because participants in a successfully organized conference usually have all technical information available to them and benefit from this by being able to focus on the non-technical parts. At the same time, this helps the organizers benefit by providing them with positive feedback and allowing them to also focus on delegating other tasks, and the conference in general. In that sense, an event app helps the conference run smoothly and successfully.

LineUpr: Thank you Tijana for the great interview. It is always a pleasure to talk with organizers of MUN events.

We are already looking forward to your next events and how we can support them with LineUpr.

Today we welcome Helena Herberer from Cologne to our blog. As the general secretary of the CologneMUN she is, among others, also responsible for the event planning and that’s what it’s all about today. As a guest at the HAMMUN she got to know about LineUpr last year and was immediately convinced by the idea of an event app for MUN conferences.

She will explain to us how they used LineUpr at the CologneMUN, the effort behind such an event and which unusual letters can be obtained from the tax office because of the registration of a charitable association. Have fun while reading. ?

LineUpr: Hello Helena. Thank you for taking the time to do this interview. Please introduce yourself.

Helena: Hello, gladly! I am the Secretary General of the CologneMUN Conference. I have been working for the Cologne MUN Society since 2013, co-founded the university group at the University of Cologne and the association and was its first president. After I left this post, it was my heartfelt concern to host the first CologneMUN.

Currently, I’m completing my Masters in Political Science. Only the master thesis is missing. Also, I work for medica mondiale, a women’s rights organization here in Cologne, which works for women and girls in war and crisis areas. Human rights are fundamental to me and I find it hard to bear the regression we are making in Germany and around the world. That’s why I find Model United Nations important. At the conferences, students who are against this can network. I am very happy that with the conference we can bring a room to the University of Cologne where we debate these topics.

LineUpr: Respect, you are really committed. How much time and work do you spend on average on the planning of the CologneMUN?

Helena: I started planning at the beginning of 2017 and initially put the team together. Finally, 15 students from Cologne and Paderborn came together with very different backgrounds and spent over a year of their time planning the conference. Personally, I’ve invested ten hours a week, on average. Of course, there are times when you have more or less to do. Sometimes you need a break. It was similar for the other team members. One of us, for example, used an entire day every week for it. Anyway, it was demanding for all of us. Most of us still work alongside our studies and are political or otherwise volunteers.

LineUpr: What makes the CologneMUN so unique? How do you differentiate yourself from other MUN events?

Helena: We had some unusual features at our first conference. One of them was our press conference. Some of the students participated as reporters. The reporters sit in the committees and write articles about everything that happened – controversy, disputes, compromises. They were also tasked with checking facts and placing the contents of the debate in the larger context. They held press conferences and asked the participants hard questions. We wanted our reporters to hold the delegates accountable, as a free press should do.

We had a social event every night and, intentionally, got into the Cologne cliché box. We organized a brewery tour and a carnival party. It was nice to show our culture to the international participants and to get to know Cologne even better.

Ultimately, it was our team that made the conference such a beautiful experience. Everyone invested a great deal of time, effort and passion without ever expecting anything in return. We all love each other very much and friends have been formed. You can feel the love.

LineUpr: You have used LineUpr for the first time. What was the decisive argument for you to use an event app?

Helena: I already knew LineUpr from HAMMUN and was thrilled.

There are two main reasons for using an app instead of a printed programme guide. First, it is more contemporary to make the programme digitally available. We could also insert changes at any time. Besides, everyone has their smartphone. Second, we are a green conference. That is, we try to reduce emissions where we can before compensating for the remaining emissions after the conference ends. An app saves paper and is, therefore, more environmentally friendly.

LineUpr: The reduction of emissions is very exemplary. It’s great that this approach is also increasing at classic conferences. How did you use the app before, during and after the CologneMUN?

Helena: Our goal was to use and design the app in such a way that the same information is available on the official website, the social media platforms and the app, making the app the third pillar of conference communication.

We made the app available via the first two communication channels. Participants were also able to download the app using a QR code when they registered on-site. Before the conference, participants in the app were able to help shape the event through surveys. Our programme, as well as a map with the locations of the programme items, were very helpful to the participants before and during the conference. We also shared information about the organizers, promoters and emergency phone numbers here.

Ultimately, the app served primarily for logistical purposes, while the content of the committee’s negotiations was largely distributed through our social media platforms.

LineUpr: How did your visitors react to the app?

Helena: On the last day of the conference we went to all the committees to hear feedback. The app was often referred to very positively. Above all, the participants appreciated that they could personalize the app by marking their appointments. The app was intuitive for everyone and therefore easy to handle.

LineUpr: This great feedback is fantastic. Why should other MUN conferences use an event app?

Helena: I saw how an app can contribute to the smooth running of a conference. We were able to enter content on a short notice, which is not possible with a programme booklet. You have to take your time to get it set up and printed. Unforeseen changes we were able to be communicated quickly. I also liked the Maps feature. This was very helpful, especially for our international participants.

LineUpr: We want to grow daily and offer our customers a better experience, what features do you want for the app and why?

Helena: It would be useful if it were possible to send push notifications. Also, compatibility with social media would be excellent, for example, if you could set up the event’s Facebook feed or connect to a Google account for the map feature.

LineUpr: Thanks for the feedback. We will try to make it possible for you until next year. At the end, would you like to share a crazy story about CologneMUN with us?

Helena: The craziest stories happened during the preparation, I think. The starting of the association, for example, cost a lot of nerves, so everything went awry and the whole process – from writing the charter to registration in the association register – took years.

I will never forget one thing. The end of the Odyssey association founding was already in sight. When we wanted to apply for the charitable status in the last step, our statute was rejected by the tax office. We had specified two purposes of the association, the “promotion of international understanding” and “the promotion of democracy”. We were not allowed to do that, we had to choose a purpose. One should not be too charitable. When we opened the letter, we really did not know if we should laugh or cry. Ultimately, we opted for international understanding. We now promote democracy in our free time.

LineUpr: This is really a crazy story. ? Typical Germany somehow. But it’s great that you have not entirely abandoned the promotion of democracy.

Thank you, Helena, for this refreshing interview. Planning and holding an event is always a little adventure. If you want to know more about ColgneMUN or you maybe even want to attend it, have a look at their homepage or visit their Facebook profile.

We are looking forward to supporting you again next year.
