The United Nations (UN) is an organization which defines what we do at FerMUN which is why it is important to know its origins.

The UN was founded in 1945 after world war II to try and prevent future international conflicts by promoting discussion and cooperation between different countries of the world.

The creation of the United Nations is the result of 51 countries cooperating with each other and redacting the UN charter. Its aim is to maintain world peace and world security, promote economic and social sustainability, protect human rights and provide assistance to countries impacted by catastrophes. The UN is an organization working with governments, NGOs and citizens from the whole entire world. Its aim is to develop strategies to solve world issues and help the most vulnerable.

In short, the creation of the UN is an important step towards international cooperation to promote peace, security and well-being in our world. The UN is still playing a major role in the resolution of conflicts and in the protection of human rights, while serving as a platform for international cooperation on decisive problems such as education, health and eradicating poverty.

During this period of quarantine previously undiscovered by history, FerMUN found ways to bring the youth together, to find some joy in these trying times.

Throughout this COVID-19 outbreak, many civilisations are quarantined in their homes as a means to reduce the spread of this pandemic. Through these times, here in France, FerMUN has found it hard to communicate and debate with their students. However, we have found several ways to continuously train our generation’s minds to debate and express their opinions.

As a way to bring alive the youth participating in FerMUN, we have organized online debates through a common Discord server, where, for two weeks now, willing students have participated in debates with their fellow students, giving them an opportunity to train their voices and express their opinions. We have formed several committees, and written issues concerning the pandemic and its impact on societies and how to deal with these upcoming problems. Building a more resilient society is an important and fundamental goal FerMUN is trying to reach by helping students engage in modern diplomacy. Furthermore, these issues address ecological and environmental problems as well as economic, sanitary and questions on education. Facing the technological and technical issues with the server was challenging, but we are trying to improve these as a way to make the running of this new and exciting exercise even smoother.

In addition to the online, animated debates taking place on wednesdays, FerMUN brought together the youth of the world, creating a sense of solidarity. Indeed, we put together a video of volunteering students, all saying “Stay At Home” in their mother tongues, as a way to create diversity across the globe, uniting all students towards a common goal: beating this pandemic. This video was then broadcast across all media platforms, our goal being trying to reach the most eyes and ears possible, raising awareness and making sure people stay safe.

Our final report is online!, You can read it here.

This year we decided to really pay attention to sustainable development; we established reusable water bottles and we decided not to print 800 copies of the magazine.
