Introduction
“A call for the youth and a cry of hope for equality”

This is an invitation to all coming-of-age delegates, who see the world we live in

for what it truly is.

“Uniting voices and Driving change” is our goal at APG Model United Nations. The

cycle of improvement is a never-ending one, and as we grow, so too must our

knowledge. Being youthful means to educate, express, and better yourself, and

here, we want you to do just that.

Don’t surrender your mind to an illusion, a lie of a fair world. “It is what we know

already that often prevents us from learning.” were the words of Claude Bernard,

words which weigh heavy to this day. Don’t be deceived into a mindset of

ignorance, instead, question anything and everything.

Learn from the past, we can only hope for a brighter tomorrow, if we prepare

today. As the youth of today, you, delegates, are our future, our hope.

APG Model United Nations will continue working to show that in unity, comes

strength, to show that with your voice, and the voices of a hundred others, you

can change the world.

We hope that your time in APG Model United Nations is more than enjoyable and

that it leaves an impact on you.

Signed,
Yomna AlBahari, Aya Jameel, Sarah Alsayyad, Hadi Almahari
Secretary General and Deputy Secretary Generals of APG MUN II

to that, security officers will escort a delegate outside the council room, if
