Global Team Building with MUN Impact's Community Leaders

The Global Summit in July highlighted how international the Model UN community truly is, with participants registered from over 100 countries. To maximize the enriching potential of interacting with such a diverse set of individuals is no simple task, but one which three community leaders for the upcoming Global Summit 2.0 have faced head-on. These are Zoey Fisher (an 18-year old from Hollywood, Florida), Arsema Aklog (a 15-year old from San Diego, California), and Leila Ali Diab (a 17-year old from Cairo, Egypt). These young and energetic global leaders describe the power of engaging with youth the world over, the effect this has had on participants, and their plans to continue optimizing these experiences so members can come out with truly meaningful memories and a better understanding of how the diversity in the world is a force for good.

Sergio Fernández de Córdova and the Importance of the SDGs

Join this exciting episode in which our host, Erik Novak, interviews successful entrepreneur and changemaker Sergio Fernández de Córdova.

Sergio’s experience leading the PVBLIC Foundation as its Chairman places him at the intersection between media and public-private partnerships, and enables him to opine on the SDG vision expertly and deeply. He is also passionate about youth engagement and explains what the role of the SDGs is for tomorrow’s generation.
