The Global Summit in July highlighted how international the Model UN community truly is, with participants registered from over 100 countries. To maximize the enriching potential of interacting with such a diverse set of individuals is no simple task, but one which three community leaders for the upcoming Global Summit 2.0 have faced head-on. These are Zoey Fisher (an 18-year old from Hollywood, Florida), Arsema Aklog (a 15-year old from San Diego, California), and Leila Ali Diab (a 17-year old from Cairo, Egypt). These young and energetic global leaders describe the power of engaging with youth the world over, the effect this has had on participants, and their plans to continue optimizing these experiences so members can come out with truly meaningful memories and a better understanding of how the diversity in the world is a force for good.
