THIMUN Experience

Juniors in The Hague
Aya Kordy

This year, ten students in the Model United Nations (MUN) class represented Andorra in the Hague International Model United Nations Conference (THIMUN). It was held in The Hague, Netherlands, from the 26th to the 30th of January. Ingy Fahmy, Aya Kordy, Saad Attia, Shereen El Khazendar, Marina Guirguis, Hanna El Amrawi, Farah Kashwa, Arnab Chaudhuri, Nada Abou-Gad and Nikhil Krishnan were the delegates of Andorra along with their advisor, Mr. Mike Collins.

About 3500 Delegates from all around the world negotiated various issues from establishing peace in the Middle East to human rights issues all over the world. Students believed that even though the debates were lengthy, they were still very enlightening.


Delegates were divided into ten different committees where they had the opportunity to debate and submit amendments as well as resolutions. Students engaged in informative discussions that are very similar to those held in the United Nations.
On the other hand, students also had the opportunity to go shopping, clubbing and even exploring the wonderful city of Amsterdam. "It was a once in a life time opportunity that is for sure!", explained Farah Kashwa.
