For the first day of THIMUN, we interviewed four delegates from different committees: Thomas van der Sommen, representative from the World Bank of Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), Gabriela Lima, delegate of Guatemala from the Disarmament Commission Commission 1, Neha Lalani, delegate of St. Vincent Grenadines from General Assembly 1 (GA1), and Jason Huh, delegate of Jordan from Human Rights Commission 1 (HR1). These were their answers:
Goals for this year's conference?
Neha: To speak and participate a lot in the debate because I didn't really speak much last year.
Jason: I'm mostly here to improve my debate and speaking skills because THIMUN is a great opportunity to talk in front of a lot of people.
Thomas: Main-submitting, but having fun as well. That's the biggest goal.
Gabriela: Just working on my resolution and giving out ideas.
What are you looking forward to besides the conference?
Neha: Because I used to live in Den Haag, I'm planning on seeing my old friends.
Thomas: Partying. I live here so I'm planning on partying with new and old friends together.
Gabriella: I'm here for the conference, but also shopping and hanging out.
How are your first impressions of this year's conference?
Neha: The room is very small, but the overall impression is organized and nice.
Jason: This is my first year at THIMUN, so I'm pretty scared. There are a lot of people, but I'll get used to the forum soon.
Thomas: I was a delegate in GA last year. ECOSOC is the biggest forum I've been in.
Gabriela: Everyone has a lot of experience and most delegates seem to have prepared a lot for the conference.
How do you plan to contribute in your forum?
Jason: I'm mostly going to throw out ideas for people to consider. By coming up with new ideas, other delegates will add those onto their resolutions, and hopefully the debates will take new directions.
Gabriela: Helping some of the resolutions to pass if I'm sided with it, and providing other delegates with new ideas.
