United Netherlands has allowed me to gain experience in the world I only knew through newspapers. Joining the delegation during my master’s study in international relations allowed for a unique piece of insight into the world of diplomacy. Where the first Friday sessions allowed me to gain confidence in my diplomatic skills and speeching, it was really at the conferences that I surprised myself.
Getting to walk around Oxford and enjoying the beautiful town with the friends I made within the delegation was a true pleasure. But the real treat was the level of competitiveness at the conference. The will of everyone to present their allocated country to the best of their ability took me to a new level of performance. Between the amazing conversations with people from all around the world, each with a unique story, it was a true battle against the self to keep pushing the limits and see how much you can achieve. And I can proudly share that the growth over these months has been nothing short of life changing.
Joining the UNL network is a real addition for my professional career, but also to share your great stories and successes that you will find during your participation of the UNL program. As for me, I would very much like to see you become part of this unique club of ambitious young people and hear your stories of how you challenged, and surprised yourself in the most prestigious universities in the world. Take this opportunity to see how you can take a huge step towards changing the world for the better.
