FINAL CHALLENGES

Since 2013, the WorldMUN program has been shaping fellows in rhetoric, group dynamics, and negotiation. Our goal is to empower students to discover their individual value-based leadership styles through practice opportunities while emphasising the practical application of politics and diplomacy on a global stage.
Over five months of intensive training, our fellows acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to excel, which they can put into practice at renowned events like LIMUN and Harvard WorldMUN in Manila. In preparation for these conferences, we will grant valuable political insights into the Philippines’ current political situation and global diplomacy.
For the first time in 2015, and continually since 2018, be.boosted has expanded to two programs. Like the WorldMUN program, the LIMUN program aims to empower students, allowing them to discover their individual value-based leadership style.

Through five months of rigorous training in rhetorics, group dynamics, and negotiation, our fellows develop the skills and knowledge necessary to excel, which they can practice at the LIMUN conference.
Beyond MUN, Team LIMUN’s specific focus is ‘boosting.others’. Therefore, the fellowship culminates in a workshop challenge, where our fellows put their acquired skills into practice by designing and running workshops in cooperation with a social enterprise.

Please note: The content and schedule of the calls listed above are preliminary.
They may be subject to change throughout the course of the fellowship.

Weekly calls will be on Tuesday at 8pm,

Jette Wiese

I’m Jette and together with Olivia and Karem, I’m excited to be this year’s Team WorldMUN-Trainers! I live in Berlin, I study philosophy and work as a journalist. As a WorldMUN 2026 fellow, I got to know be.boosted as a hub for people who aim to make the professional world more human, fair and inclusive. I’m convinced that this is not only learned in theory, but has to be practiced in a room that allows vulnerability, critique and empowerment wherever needed. I’m very much looking forward to getting to know you and building this open space together – whether it be in our calls, our offline weekends, the conferences or on the afterparty dancefloor!

Karem Hadla

I’m Karem, 27 years old, an engineer with an MBA. I studied in Germany, France, Italy, and Norway, and currently work in the semiconductor industry. Born in Syria, I witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of failed conflict resolution. Motivated to prevent such outcomes, I joined be.boosted two years ago as a WorldMUN fellow. I realized building a better future starts long before conflict arises. As a trainer, my goal is to create an environment where fellows feel supported, challenged, and empowered to step out of their comfort zones: listening actively, negotiating hard on facts and soft on people, and leading inclusively.

Olivia Serra Calvo

My name is Olivia, a Spaniard living in Brussels who loves CrossFit, overpriced coffee at a fancy cafe, and listening to Latin music. I joined be.boosted last year on the Young Professional Team. In a fast-paced environment, the fellowship provided me the time and space to reflect on myself and grow. As a WorldMUN trainer, I want to create an environment where fellows look inwards and support each other in learning and growth. Currently working as a consultant for the European Parliament in law and communications, I hope to bring insights from my work-life into this fellowship.

Aysha Abu Ta'a

Hi, I'm Aysha! Curiosity brought me to be.boosted, where I joined Team WorldMUN 2026 as a fellow. More than anything, my fellowship taught me what it feels like to be pushed and supported in equal measure and gave me friendships that outlasted the fellowship itself. That's exactly what I want to pass on as this year's LIMUN trainer: room to challenge and be challenged, in a space that remains supportive throughout. When I'm not studying medicine in Berlin, you'll usually find me running through the city or hunting down new food spots with friends.

Pia Riepl-Bauer

Hey hey, I'm Pia! After being a LIMUN fellow in 2026, I want to pass the be.boosted spirit on to the next generation as a trainer. For me, this spirit is about learning how to take space for one's own goals and passions, while giving others space to grow and collaborate. After graduating with a master's in political science in Milan, I will spend the next months interning with the UN Development Programme in Rome. As a trainer, I want to create an inclusive space to develop the hard and soft skills of a true leader, putting cooperation and inclusivity first. When not on a train between Italy and Germany, you can find me hiking, biking, or philosophizing on friendships.

Marah Cloos

Hi, I’m Marah. I was part of Team LIMUN 2026 and am really excited to be a trainer for next year’s cohort. My be.boosted experience started with boosting.others, where I discovered the program’s empowering and community-driven spirit firsthand. After completing my master’s in sustainability, I am spending the next six months at a Geneva-based think tank researching how to embed sustainability concepts in society. As a trainer, I hope to create an inclusive space where fellows feel encouraged to grow, reflect, and embrace comfortable discomfort, while showing up for one another and celebrating each other’s growth. Outside of work, I enjoy sports, cooking with friends, and learning Spanish.

Why is there a participation fee for the fellowship?

be.boosted operates as a volunteer-driven, not-for-profit initiative led by students. No one at be.boosted receives compensation for their contributions. Our program’s funding primarily stems from generous sponsors, voluntary donations, and, to a lesser extent, contributions from participation fees and collaborative fundraising efforts by fellows.

The expenses associated with the program are primarily derived from three sources: (1) reimbursement of travel costs for fellows and trainers during the fellowship, (2) fees for participation at LIMUN and WorldMUN & (3) accommodation, material, and venue expenses.

Should you require more information, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team and we will provide you with all details based on the experience of our past fellows. In case of financial hardship, do not hesitate to contact our team either. We will do our best to make our programme available to you irrespective of your financial background.
