“WE MUST GO BEYOND TEXTBOOKS, GO OUT INTO THE BYPATHS AND UNTRODDEN DEPTHS OF THE WILDERNESS AND TRAVEL AND EXPLORE AND TELL THE WORLD THE GLORIES OF OUR JOURNEY.” JOHN HOPE FRANKLIN
OVERVIEW
In January 2013, 22 outstanding young New Zealanders who have been chosen to represent New Zealand at the largest and most prestigious Model UN conference in the world will set out with their volunteer directors on a three-week whirlwind educational study tour. This tour will canvas world cultural sites, visiting diplomatic missions and immerse the students in the various different cultures of the places they visit across Asia and Europe. UN Youth New Zealand, the organisation behind the trip has been sending a delegation The Hague International Model United Nations (“THIMUN”) since 2000. The New Zealand Schools’ Delegation has built an outstanding reputation at the THIMUN conference as being one of the best delegations out of the 4000 students who attend the conference every year.
Many of the trip’s alumni have gone on to become leaders and change-makers in New Zealand. Many now work at top law firms, are active in other non-profit organisations, government institutions, or are current senior officeholders in our organisation. The alumni include a Rhodes Scholar, a Prime Minister’s Business Scholar, and a NZ Education and Scholarship Trust Top Scholar. This is an unprecedented opportunity for your organisation to contribute towards the development and enrichment of New Zealand’s future generation of leaders, and to associate your business and brand with UN Youth New Zealand – one of New Zealand’s leading civic education organisations.
WHO WE ARE WHY UN Youth New Zealand is youth-run charitable organisation that educates young New Zealanders about the United Nations and international affairs. We believe that by educating young people about global issues and empowering them with skills and knowledge in how they can make a difference, we are inspiring the next generation of New Zealand and the world’s leaders. WHAT We achieve this by providing internationallyrecognised opportunities for youth in New Zealand to express themselves and provide solutions for what is, ultimately their future. We provide these opportunities by running Model UN conferences across New Zealand and in facilitating top-level New Zealand delegations to overseas conferences such as THIMUN.

THIMUN DELEGATION 2013
THE HAGUE INTERNATIONAL MODEL UNITED NATIONS (THIMUN) We believe the THIMUN tour condenses what it means to be a truly global citizen into a three-week trip. The THIMUN tour gives these exemplary young New Zealand leaders an opportunity to experience firsthand the wider world outside their local community. BACKGROUND The Hague International Model UN is the largest and most prestigious Model UN conference in the world. Attended by over 4000 students from all around the world, the week-long conference simulates the United Nations institutions including the General Assembly – students become delegates for a member state of the United Nations, and debate their way through resolutions based on the foreign policy and perspective of that particular state.
THE THIMUN CONFERENCE
THE EDUCATIONAL TOUR
At the conference, delegates are given a taste of what it takes to forge solutions to global issues at the THIMUN conference, where they negotiate and debate solutions to world issues with students from across the globe with wide-ranging backgrounds and views.
Through visits to diplomatic missions and world heritage sites, they understand the values, forces and institutions at play in their communities, and build the skills to engage and participate in their local community to make a difference. Many alumni go on to become active in civic society organisations, or become officeholders in UN Youth, and contribute back to the organisation as volunteers.

THIMUN DELEGATION 2013
THE DELEGATES 22 outstanding young leaders were chosen to be a part of the New Zealand delegation to THIMUN at the New Zealand Model UN conference in July 2012. They were selected through a rigorous application and interview process during the conference, and the calibre of the delegation truly reflects this.
EDWARD HASLAM DUNEDIN My name is Edward Haslam and I am currently a Year 13 Prefect at Otago Boys’ High School. International relations, history, economics and English frame my interests well; to sate my appetite for these, I have a goal to participate in as many co-curricular activities as I can to supplement my learning in the classroom. While working hard to meet this goal, I stumbled across the amazing event that is Model United Nations - an event which ties in all my key interests. I found that it was an experience I had long been looking for. This year, I was selected to be a part of the New Zealand THIMUN delegation. THIMUN is a place where the cultures of the world meet and debate over the future of our planet, a place where I can be immersed with my key interests utilised to their fullest extent. It is the ultimate experience for me, and one I have a strong desire to go to.

BOWEN SHI AUCKLAND I am a Year 13 student at Dilworth School in Auckland. I came to New Zealand from China when I was 1 1/2 years old and I am currently studying Physics, Chemistry, Calculus, Accounting and Classics. Next year, I intend to study Science and Law at Auckland University. At school, I am kept very busy through the wide variety of activities I participate in, including being a School Prefect, member of the Arts Council and a Student Trustee in School Aid. I am also the Captain of Chess and Lawn Bowls, and an enthusiastic Debater, Singer and Violinist. In December, I will be travelling to Queensland to represent Auckland in a Lawn Bowls tournament. My interest in global issues and public speaking originally spurred my participation in Model UN events. I believe that THIMUN is a great opportunity to take my quest for knowledge about diplomatic processes to the international stage. I am especially looking forward to the extensive travel, socialising and networking that the trip will entail.
HANNAH FIELD TARARUA My name is Hannah Field. I am in sixth form (Year 12) Tararua College, a rural college in the Tararua District. I am interested in the future. I am always dreaming of things in the future, what career path I will take, what opportunities I will be fortunate enough to take and who I will become. This is why THIMUN is a once in a lifetime opportunity to me. The educational tour will help me to learn about the UN, the vast cultures will spark more passion, motivation and fascination; I will be able to learn ways to help those who cannot help themselves. I can only imagine the way that this opportunity, travelling places I have dreamed of seeing, will shape my perception and the person that I will become. I am looking forward to the friendship, vast cultures, characters and passions of youth from around the world; the leaders of tomorrow.
AUSTIN O’BRIEN CHRISTCHURCH I’m Austin O’Brien, and with this year being my last at Christ’s College in Christchurch, I’m massively excited to go to THIMUN and see and examine the world in a startlingly diverse light. I’m an academic and cultural fiend at heart - from the logical mindsets of the sciences to the involved matters of the humanities, I’ve always been interested in developing a deeper understanding. Beyond my studies, the arts have always interested me – debating, drama, and dance – all activities that I have loved thoroughly. More importantly however, THIMUN to me seems to be the culmination of the underlying premise that kept me intrigued and involved in all these seemingly unrelated pursuits. This ideal of learning and understanding is embodied in THIMUN – from our travels through different countries and cultures – to the actual event at the Hague, and for this, THIMUN is incredibly important to me.
CLAIRE MCCORKINDALE DUNEDIN My name is Claire McCorkindale and I’m year 13 and deputy head girl at Columba College. At school I study English, Statistics, French, Chemistry and Geography and I’m highly interested in current affairs and world issues. I’m a passionate member and leader of my school Amnesty International group and I enjoy public speaking, in particular at UN Youth events. I enjoy playing soccer, hockey and badminton as well as playing both violin and piano. THIMUN will not only be an incredible chance to meet and bond with like-minded students from around the world but will also provide me with an invaluable insight into how the UN functions as it is one of my aspirations to eventually work there.
BROOKE OLLIVER-BURNSIDE CHRISTCHURCH I am Brooke Olliver-Burnside and I am so excited about attending THIMUN 2013. I attend Christchurch Girls’ High School where I am involved in a whole host of things I: coach a junior netball team, am the Editor and leader of our school Newspaper (I also write the advice column!) and as well as these things I am a leader of a school run youth group for struggling young students. Attending Model UN events is a real passion of mine, I love feeling inspired and empowered to make a real change in my future in ways I never knew possible before attending these amazing conferences. The thing I’m most excited about when it comes to THIMUN is meeting and travelling with such a diverse range of people from all over the world. THIMUN will give me an opportunity to look at world issues on an international stage and learn valuable, negotiation, debating and problem solving skills that I can’t wait to take back to New Zealand and use to implement change in the best possible way.

BRITTANY REA CHRISTCHURCH My name is Brittany Rea and I am currently in year 13 at Rangi Ruru Girls’ School in Christchurch. I endeavour to achieve my best in anything I undertake whether that is on the sports field playing netball or basketball, or striving for academic excellence in class. In attempting to make the most of every opportunity I have been fortunate enough to experience, I have gained skills, like public speaking and team work, that I’m sure will last me a lifetime. I have hunger to be able to contribute positively to the world’s financial and economic state and I know that THIMUN 2013 will only propel me further in this quest. For someone who is untraveled, as I am, I cannot wait to join with the like-minded delegation and see what the world has to offer.
TAYLOR MITCHELL AUCKLAND I’m a year 13 Head Student at Albany Senior High School on Auckland’s North Shore. I began my involvement with UN Youth NZ at the beginning of 2011 through the encouragement of fellow students who were part of the organisation and its events. I spend most of my time sailing and coaching at my local club Murrays Bay, performing musically in my school productions and personally with piano, debating in my school team and writing as editor of my school yearbook and on the publication Education Today. I’m most looking forward to the experience of THIMUN as an opportunity to extend my knowledge and passion for global communities and affairs as well as connecting with other likeminded youth from around New Zealand and the world. I hope that the trip will be a fantastic building block and inspiration as I intend to begin a conjoint degree in Law and Arts next year at Auckland University and lead onto a future intertwined with international affairs in some way.

HENRY THOMPSON AUCKLAND I am a Year 12 student at Rangitoto College, in Auckland. Model UN asides, I enjoy playing sport, in particular Hockey, and I play for my school 1st XI as well as the top three men’s teams at North Shore United. I also love music and when I am not extending my already eclectic taste in music I play the bass in a band as well as being a soloist in the Mainly Men,, Rangitoto’s Boys Choir. I am also fascinated by languages. When I was 7 my family moved to Freiburg, Germany for four years, and during my time there I picked up a second language, German, which I still speak with fluency. In year 11 I was taking year 12 Spanish, which I can speak passably. I hope that with this trip I will extend my public speaking and debating skills, as well as meeting many new, like-minded and influential young people, and that I make friendships that will last for a lifetime. I also wish to keep active within UN Youth NZ, and maybe the UN itself in the future.
SHARNDRE KUSHOR AUCKLAND My name is Sharndre Kushor, I am a head student at Albany Senior High School on Auckland’s North Shore. I am interested in health, biology and chemistry. In the future I hope to have a career which involves working with people to better their overall quality of life. This year I am a UNICEF New Zealand Youth Ambassador, and my role is to make Kiwi youth more aware of important global issues facing other young people around the world. I am very proud and excited to have been selected to attend THIMUN in 2013. I believe that this experience will be one that will help me make decisions which will impact on the rest of my life. I look forward to meeting likeminded young people for all around the world, I think this experience will be hugely eye opening and it will be interesting to hear different perspectives on global issues and to share strengths, opportunities and challenges that we face as young leaders.
JOSH RAMSAY WELLINGTON I’m a prefect at Scots College and I used to go to Wellesley College. I captain a football team and I am the Vice-Captain for my school’s handball team. I also play the drums, guitar and the piano and I do debating and Model UN events. I coach a younger football team, tutor eleven to fourteen year-olds and am also the coach for a year nine debating team. I really want to attend THIMUN because it would be an honour to represent New Zealand overseas, and I have not travelled to Europe since I was 2. The people I have met through UN Youth are already some of my best friends. Next year I will be studying commerce majoring in International Business and Business Management, either at Victoria or Peking University.
VICTORIA REA CHRISTCHURCH My name is Victoria Rea and I am a Year 13 at Rangi Ruru Girls’ School in Christchurch. Throughout my schooling career I have been known for the high standards I set for myself whether it is in culture performing music, drama or public speaking, academics or sports playing netball, rugby or lifesaving. UN Youth has offered me the chance to create life-long friendships, learn more about international relations and continue to develop my public speaking skills. I believe that THIMUN will offer me the chance to experience a myriad of cultures whilst continuing to provide the same stimulating positive experiences and skills. From THIMUN I aim to learn more about global citizenship and to become more aware of my position in society as a global citizen. I hope to return from the trip with the ability to inspire younger generations to continue to get involved within their communities and to continue to make connections.
SAM BRUSTAD CHRISTCHURCH My name is Sam Brustad and I have lived in the Christchurch area for my whole life. I grew up on a farm with my younger sister (and plenty of pets) near Hanmer Springs but I made the move into the big city for boarding school 5 years ago. I went to a primary school of around 40 children and I spent a lot of my time outside helping with work on the farm. I am a Year 13 student at Christchurch Boys’ High School where I am also a Prefect, Peer Support Leader and tutor. I’ve learnt Japanese for 7 years and I have been lucky enough to go to the country twice, the experience was amazing and it has only made me want to travel more! I hope one day to work in Foreign Policy and I can’t wait for a chance to meet some of the New Zealand Ambassadors in their element.
FELIX MOUTTAKI O’DONNELL QUEENSTOWN Hi, my name is Felix Mouttaki, I’m 17 years old and live in Queenstown. I go to Wakatipu High School and am currently studying: History, Economics, French, Physics, Biology and Maths with Statistics all at NCEA Level 3 and Economics, History and Statistics at Scholarship Level. Next year I am planning to study Politics, Law and Business at Otago University. In my spare time I play squash in the winter and am a bowler in the Wakatipu High 1st XI cricket team in the summer. I also enjoy playing soccer socially, film-making and skiing. I’m really looking forward to the THIMUN trip as I really enjoy travelling and have never in the past been able to visit Europe. I’m especially looking forward to visiting Paris, Berlin and the International Court of Justice. The conference too, promises to be a once in a lifetime event. I’m really looking forward to the debates and the chance to practise my public speaking skills in such a high pressure environment.

ASH STANLEY-RYAN WELLINGTON I’m a 17 year old from Scots College in Wellington with a keen interest in public speaking & debating, as well as model United Nations, and with a strong academic background. My future aspirations are to work as a diplomat in MFAT, and in an ideal world to work with the UN in some capacity – I would love to be the person who brings about security council reform one day. I want to go on THIMUN 2013 because it’s a great chance to enhance my speaking, debating and lobbying skills, as well as a chance to network with people from around the world who will likely be great contacts to have in later life. It’s one of the best opportunities I’ll ever have to do this, and is something I am definitely going to make the most of.
NADINE WARD ALEXANDRA Hi! My name is Nadine Ward and I am in year thirteen at Dunstan High School, in Alexandra. A lot of my time is spent playing netball, singing or doing photography. I am really excited for THIMUN and the study-tour, I am sure that it will be an incredible experience and there will be huge educational benefits. I hope to gain an insight into the ways in which countries deal with issues of critical importance, and resolve them in a peaceful and positive way. Next year I intend to study towards a BA LLB, majoring in Spanish and Political Studies. This would potentially lead to work in foreign affairs or a Non-Governmental organisation. I would also love to continue on to complete a journalism course, and become a foreign correspondent.

NIRUSHA GEORGE AUCKLAND My name is Nirusha and I am a year 13 student attending Mount Roskill Grammar School. I enjoy playing soccer, hockey, getting out on a kayak or dragon boating. When I am not outside, I am an avid reader, enjoying everything from Jane Austen to the biography of Li Cuxin. At school I love learning about modern and classical history. I also love getting involved in the community whether it be helping fundraise, putting on a cultural performance or supporting youth activities. My passion for politics and social issues stems from the problems that have arisen due to the civil war in my home country, Sri Lanka. I am looking forward to engaging with different cultures and meeting different people at THIMUN. I hope to gain a better understanding in how diplomacy and politics works in the various level of the United Nations.
KEARI HARVEY NEW PLYMOUTH My name is Keari Harvey and I’m a year 13 studying at New Plymouth Girls’ High School. I enjoy involving myself in my community along with playing sport and attending UN Youth events. I have participated in and organised many events in my local community to raise awareness and funds for non-profit organizations such as Amnesty International, Students Against Driving Drunk and World Vision. I have also worked with the Senior Net Association where monthly evenings are held to aid elderly citizens with technology. I enjoy taking part in these activities because I can give back to the community and help people. In my spare time I like to ski, cycle, swim and play the piano. Attending THIMUN is going to be a life changing experience for me. I’m most definitely looking forward to the opportunity to work with active global citizens like myself in a UN environment and discuss the changes that need to be made to our society, and those societies around us.
MATTEA MCRKUSIC AUCKLAND Kia Ora, my name is Mattea Mrkusic and I am a Year 13 student at Takapuna Grammar School. Though I hail from America, I now call Auckland’s North Shore my home. As Head Girl of my school, I am actively involved in the North Shore Youth Council and lead my school’s human rights group. In my spare time, I’m a keen activist, debater, soccer player and hiker. On a personal level, human rights are my passion. One day, I hope to work for Human Rights Watch, advocating for who do not have the ability to do so. In 2013, I hope to study International Relations and Art History at an Ivy League school in the States. The month away on THIMUN embodies many things for me: international relations, trying my French out on the locals, challenging myself to new heights and meeting like-minded, switched on people. In short? Doing what I’m passionate about.
NAUSHYN JANAH AUCKLAND I am Year 12 student at ACG Parnell College, originally from the Maldives. I moved to New Zealand five years ago. I am passionate about studying the intricacies of economics, following current affairs, analysing modern history and enjoy keeping up to date with international relations. My interests include playing the piano, learning languages, playing tennis, creative writing and reading both analytical and for leisure. In the future, I hope to study law with a focus on international relations and business at university. THIMUN presents an invaluable opportunity for me as I hope to be involved in or working with the UN, especially with ECOSOC, ECOFIN, the International Law Commission or the Legal Committee. I am so excited to be travelling with a delegation of like-minded young individuals and am looking forward to all the valuable friendships that I will build my fellow delegates, other delegations as well as our host family.
JAMIE BEATON AUCKLAND I am Jamie Beaton. I am a seventeen year old student in my final year at King’s College. Being involved with UN Youth has highlighted just how fundamental a global perspective is in our world. Through my Cambridge studies in Thinking Skills, Global Perspectives and Economics, debating and Model United Nations activities, I have developed a passion for critically analyzing our world and striving to find innovative ways to create a more sustainable future. Through initiating a school United Nations group, spearheading Amnesty International, and leading an anti-drug campaign I have attempted to do this. In the future, I aspire to work in international diplomacy targeting world issues and making real change that can improve the lives of fellow humans around the globe. THIMUN represents a life-changing opportunity to debate world-issues at a whole new level, with like-minded individuals from across the entire globe. I could not imagine a more perfect synthesis for my high school years.
RICHARD NGO AUCKLAND My name is Richard and I am a year 13 boarding student at King’s College, Auckland. I enjoy participating in many different activities, including playing squash, learning the piano, debating, writing short stories and poetry, and of course going to Model United Nations events. Academically I have a very wide range of interests, including both sciences and humanities, with a particular interest in the philosophical basis of morality and society. In terms of science, I want to be able to apply scientific advances to actually improve peoples’ lives. One of the reasons why I want to go on this trip is because the UN is one of the only organisations which has the influence to change things on a global level – for example, the WHO’s use of vaccination technology to eradicate smallpox from the world. On THIMUN I will be able to learn more about programmes like this, as well as connecting with future leaders from across the world.
