EYL edusti voitokkaasti malli YK-konferenssissa New Yorkissa

"Before our trip to New York, I never really had much reason to think of the UN as anything beyond a global organisation with intent to maintain peace and prosperity in all nations across the world. Our tour around the UN Headquarters and our meeting with Finnish UN diplomats definitely opened my eyes to how multi-faceted the UN's work really is! There are several different branches of the UN (the General Assembly (GA), the Security Council (SC), the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), the Trusteeship Council, the International Court of Justice (ICJ), and the UN Secretariat) and they all have different tasks that interconnect to ensure that the United Nations as a whole is capable of achieving their goals of peace across the world.

As for pursuing an international job as a diplomat: that's something to think about for the future! Unfortunately, what I want to do in the future is still unclear. However, I would say that this opportunity to represent our school in NHSMUN(ulkoinen linkki, avautuu uuteen ikkunaan) has definitely given me some food for thought about considering a career as a diplomat." - EYL Model UN Delegate Andrea Erestain
