Chairs of SiegMUN 2013
Safurat Balogun Chair of the UNICEF 
My name ist Safurat Balogun and I am currently
studying Social Science and Social Policy at the University of Siegen. I
participated at the SiegMUN last year and as well at the PaderMUN. Also, as a
delegate of the NMUN New York I could gain a lot of experience as it is
the biggest MUN. Now at the SiegMUN 2013 I am glad to be a chair of the Unicef
Committee because my passion with working with children is big and I am looking
forward to working together with you all.
| Amrita Sukumar
Chair of the UNICEF 
My Name is Amrita Sukumar. I have participated in Sieg Model United
Nation Conference 2012, Representing India in Human Right Council. At
University Siegen, I am studying Master in Economic Policy. Siegen was the
first place where I discovered my love for Model United Nation. SiegMUN 2012
was the capstone of my Model United Nation experience. My
SiegMUN was a varied, engrossing, relevant and
academically rigorous experience. It’s an experience where I am short on words.
Without SiegMUN 2012, I would never have the opportunity to be in such close
contact with the honourable chair and other fellow delegates from all part of world. I felt extremely privileged to attend this
conference. SiegMUN 2012 gave me an opportunity to represent India as a
delegate.
After SiegMUN 2012, I participated in NMUN NY 2013. I found that this is where
my skill, happiness and interest lie. It is this challenging environment to
which I intend to contribute by evolving meaningful and optimal solutions to
various problems. NMUN 2013 taught me the relevance of actually sharing the idea
with others cordially. It was wonderful to wake up early in morning and think
you have a great responsibility as a delegate. I think this was the greatest
experience when preparing for your life time carrier. It helped me improve my
communication skills and developed an ability to work in a team, and build up
my self-confidence.
This year I would be the
chair of United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) at SiegMUN 2013. I am looking forward
to meet more diversified people representing different delegation. It would be
interesting to look into these broader perspectives and come to
a common solution. I am excited for this
program, because this will be my first year chairing at the MUN.

Literature, Culture and Media Studies at the University of Siegen. I already
participated as a delegate at two Model United Nations in Siegen, one in
Vilnius (Lithuania) and a PrepMUN in Paderborn. My MUN Highlight was the New

cultures and people and share knowledge and ideas. Now, at SiegMUN 2013 I will

Sebastian Nentwig
Chair of the Historical Security Council
My name is
Sebastian Nentwig and I’m 25 years old. I am currently studying Master in Media
Science at the University of Siegen. Since 2011 I’ve been an active member of
MUN Siegen and participated in the Security Council of SiegMUN 2011. In April
2012 I was a member of our delegation representing Mauritania
at the National Model United Nations in New
York. During the last SiegMUNs in 2012 and 2013 I was in the
organization team and a member of the SC as well.
Beside
university and MUN I’m in a table tennis club, read books (especially horror
novels by Stephen King), watch movies and listen to rock music. I’m interested
in astronomy and astronautics and also in world affairs and politics.
For me the most important thing at MUN is to get in
contact with other people, cultures and to get to know about other views and
opinions. It is exciting to step into other point of views, playing “in
character” and representing positions that are (maybe) contrary to your own.
| Robert F. Fernholz
Chair of the Historical Security Council
My name is Robert F. Fernholz. I am 26 years old, my main subject at the university are historical and
religious studies, with the aim of Staatsexamen
I. In the 2012 session of the SiegMUN I participated as the delegate of Russia
in the Security Council. As for this year I am organizing the Historical
Security Council, which is my first time to do so, therefore I am looking
forward to a great conference.
In times, in which I am not occupied with university
obligations, I read, but I have to admit most time this is in one way or
another still connected to my interests in history and politics. (At the moment
I am reading Sir Winston Churchill’s memoirs, for a second time).
For me MUN is on one side a great base to meet people, who share the
interest for politics and diplomatic processes. On the other side it is a
fascinating roll-play experiment and experience, as especially a historical MUN,
in which you can s step into a historical situation and get a feeling for the
processes, which shaped todays world order.

Conference Staff of SiegMUN 2013

Stephan Dietz
Director General
He started his studies at the University of Duisburg-Essen with Biology, Social Science and Theological Science in order to become a teacher. After some time he noticed that this kind of work does not fit in his future plans so he moved to the University of Siegen and began his Bachelor in Social Science and Media Studies. Being interested in governmental use of media and his general affection for all kind of social media, advertisement and the use and development of those topics defines his plans for the future after he gained his master degree.
Participating in the Model United Nations Projects gives Stephan the possibility to get to know more different and new people, train his teamwork and organizing skills and to develop his communication skills.
