Dear All

The Workshop is taking place in the same building and floor but in another room Mis 10.01.13

Last but not least we are introducing our President and Chair Heba Kamel !

Hey everyone, my name is Heba Kamel. I study Media Communication and Political Science at the University of Fribourg and I am really excited to serve as the President of FriMUN.

My MUN journey started in high school, where I first got introduced to the concept of simulating debates of the UN, however I wasn’t able to engage the way I wanted to as the sessions were held in French and I did not speak French back then.

As a freshman I stumbled upon the FriMUN stand at the Association Day in 2017 and felt the FriMUN spirit right away, I joined as a delegate and fell in love with the association.

FriMUN has contributed a lot to my character development during University years. It’s a place where I got to grow as a person, acquire a lot of skills and make new friendships from different faculties and backgrounds.

I`m looking forward to this semester, working and meeting new delegates from around the world.

It’s time for another board member feature, today we are introducing our Vice-President !

Hello people of the University of Fribourg, I’m
Leo Barnard. I’m currently a Law student in my second year. If you must know, I am the Vice-president of the lovely association that is FriMUN.

My involvement with MUN started with me being forced into it by a peer of mine (peer pressure is real guys!) back in High School. Originally I did it purely for the sake of my CV (the only reason most High School students get involved in any type of extracurricular activity), but after my first committee session… well, I was hooked.

How I ended up in FriMUN you may ask? Well… a known name in the FriMUN world convinced me it was a wonderful idea to join (peer pressure again). And the spark between MUN and I reignited once more.

FriMUN is a wonderful way of meeting people from different backgrounds and faculties, something that isn’t necessarily easy in University. Plus as a native English speaker it’s a cool way of meeting people I can speak English with. It is also allows you to constantly practice public speaking skills and debating skills.

This semester is going to be really dynamic and fun and I can’t wait to see what’s in store.

For those of you who did not meet W***y Boundel our Finance Manager at the Association day 😊

Hey my name is Willfried and I’m a third year law student and I’m honored to serve as the head of finance of Frimun for the year 2019/2020. I started MUN in my first year and I throughly enjoyed every aspect of it so far! MUN is designed for everyone interested in global affairs, regardless of their academic background. Furthermore you will be able to improve your negotiation skills, while making new friends. Hope to see you engaged in our society this year 🙂

Don’t forget to pass by our stands in Mis and Per 🇺🇳🇺🇳🇺🇳

Meet our PR-Manager Alexandra

Hello, my name is Alexandra Glarner. I am currently studying for my bachelor's degree in law at the University of Fribourg and will be FriMUN's PR-Manager for the coming year.

I was very excited to join FriMUN when I started studying as I had heard a lot about it during high school but didn't have the possibility to join. At FriMUN I got to know many fascinating people from all backgrounds and countries and decided to join this very special student association.

As the sessions are held in English, FriMUN is attractive for foreign and Swiss student alike, it does not matter if your mother tongue is French, Italian or Swiss German. FriMUN has improved my rhetorical skills and given me confidence to speak in front of a group. Additionally, I gained a better understanding of current political affairs.

I am looking forward to the coming term, to all the interesting conversations and to meeting new delegates.

Only a few days left until the semester starts and we are excited to kick off our Board Members Feature across our social media channels!
