MUN my beloved

The thing is, I used to be fucking terrified of MUN. Everything about it (research, writing, teamwork, collaboration, public speaking) scared the living crap out of me. I came to my first conference with a whole folder of (largely) useless facts. I physically shook when I first rose to give a speech defending an amendment. I couldn’t eat and had to go to the bathroom four times before the committee sessions because I was so nervous. And yet, as the three-day conference went on, I got more and more confident. I stood up, debated, proposed amendments and gave speeches. I grew to love it more than anything in my life. 

Here’s a quick aesthetic I curated based on MUN

A binder of perfectly organised notes on the country’s politics, socio-economic environments, geography, and current affairs 

Watching documentaries about your country’s culture, taking in the unique landscape 

Empty coffee cups that somehow manage to multiply on your desk 

Pulling all-nighters, too eager to learn as much as you can 

Crisp white shirt and fresh suit, all ready for the upcoming day 

Messy handwriting, scrawling notes on the resolution of other delegates

Ink-stained fingers

Reciting your speech to yourself, having committed it to memory

Nervously cracking knuckles before your opening speech

Feeling immense pride when your resolution passes

Heated debates during unmoderated caucuses

Placard raised proudly 

I'm stressed but at least I have iced coffee

Alexa and Barbie

Hi, guys!

As you may know, I am Ukrainian. I live in Kyiv. I have lived here since I was born and I love my country with my whole heart.

I see a lot of misinformation under the tag "Ukraine". Most of it comes from American people, who try to explain the conflict in their own words. They can't. It's impossible to explain if you haven't lived here. There are too many influences on this conflict. You keep looking from an american perspective, which is not crucial in understanding the conflict.

For example, have you ever had you language forbidden? Like straight up forbidden by the law? It happened to Ukrainian language a lot of times thought our history. And who did it? The Russian Empire. And it's not the end of it. The genocides, the assimilation, the deportation. Have you even researched Ukrainian history?

You do not uplift Ukrainian voices enough. And you should if you care about what's happening. If you don’t do it, you're just doing a performance of your support and activism.

Lucky for you, I am a Ukrainian person! And I am DYING TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. I scored 191/200 points on my graduation exam in history, so you can suppose I know something about Ukrainian history.

If you stand for Ukraine, uplift Ukrainian voices. Educate yourself. Learn Ukrainian history. Ask Ukrainian people
