Harvard National Model United Nations 2019 has finally commenced! In only six months our J-BoS prepared The Delegation for this conference. Every Friday session, institutional visit and practice MUN has provided them with skills to fall back on - and not just during this conference. Dear delegates, you’ve got this! Good luck💙!#youknowwhatthatmeans #hnmun2019 #TheDelegation #radbouduniversity
Thank you New York😍! Our last training week in preparation for Harvard National Model United Nations has officially ended. With visits to the United Nations, Council on Foreign Relations, ING, the Dutch Permanent Mission and the Australian Permanent Mission to the UN, the Delegation got some final inspiration on diplomacy in practice. Next to these visits, there was also plenty of time to explore and enjoy the city. But all good things come to an end - and we are on our way to something even better... Boston here we come💪🏻!#hnmun2019 #TheDelegation #soundon #radbouduniversity #workhardplayhard
