HASTRAIN'25

Dear all,

It is with immense pride and enthusiasm that I, as Secretary-General, welcome you to Kadir Has University's first-ever Junior United Nations conference. This significant occasion marks the beginning of a new chapter in our university's commitment to fostering global awareness, diplomacy, and critical thinking among young leaders.
This conference is specially designed for middle school students, offering a unique platform just for them. We understand that middle school is a critical time for developing important skills like research, public speaking, negotiation, and teamwork. Through this Junior conference experience, we aim to empower you with the knowledge and confidence to engage in meaningful discussions about global issues and to advocate for positive change in your communities and the world.

For many of you, this may be your first time in the world of UN conference simulations. You are about to embark on an interesting journey where you will step into the shoes of diplomats, representing nations on the global stage. You will discuss complex international issues, engage in formal debate, and create solutions through collaboration and compromise.
As you prepare to dive into your committee sessions, you will embrace the spirit of respectful debate, active listening, and open-mindedness. Challenging yourselves to see the world from different perspectives, to understand diverse ideas, and to find common ground even in the face of disagreement.

Beyond the committee rooms, I encourage you to take full advantage of the opportunities this conference presents. Engage in meaningful conversations with your fellow delegates, develop lasting friendships, and learn from the experiences of seasoned MUNers.
I wish you all a fruitful and enriching conference experience.

Sincerely,
Salman Ravy
Secretary-General
