UPH Communication student followed Yale University?s Model United Nations Conference

For four days and three nights, at 09.00-20.30, Claire followed her first MUN conference and she acted as Costa Rica?s delegation in the World Trade Organization (WTO) committee. In this WTO committee, delegations talked about various issues about trading capacity for underdeveloped countries, including Intellectual Property Right and TRIPS agreement on framework development for fair trade in agriculture.

Commonly, Model United Nations is like a ?food? for International Relations students, but this turned out to be a new challenge for Claire, who?s a Communication student. She admitted that she had never gotten a lesson about MUN and how to do it, but according to her, this conference gave her a chance to know how the world operate and the ways to solve world?s problems. ?Aside from that, meeting with new friends from Beijing, India, Korea, Philippine, Vietnam, Mongolia, Shanghai and many other countries and learnt about their cultures and the condition of their countries/cities were a priceless experience,? she then added.
