FINAL CHALLENGES

Since 2013, the WorldMUN program has been shaping fellows in rhetorics, group dynamics and negotiation. Our goal is to empower students and young professionals to discover their individual value-based leadership style through practice opportunities, while emphasising the practical application of politics and diplomacy on a global stage.

Over the course of 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 Taipei. In preparation for these conferences, we will grant valuable political insights into Taiwan’s 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 and young professionals, 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 put into practice at the LIMUN conference.

Beyond MUN, the specific focus of Team LIMUN is ‘boosting others’, therefore the fellowship culminates in a workshop-challenge, where our fellows get to put their acquired skills into practice, designing and running workshops in cooperation with a social enterprise.

Please note: The content and schedule of the calls listed above are preliminary.

2nd final challenge - dates tbd

For Team LIMUN the journey doesn’t end with MUNing: In our final challenge you will be given the opportunity to step into the role of a Trainer. In small groups, you‘ll work together to devise your own workshops on public speaking and negotiation, drawing on the skills and knowledge acquired during your fellowship.

Fabian Moormann

Fabian was part of Team London 2022 and is currently in his final year studying Political Science and Economics in Münster. His friends describe him as always being keen to debate and therefore, he sees be.boosted as a great opportunity to meet fellow debaters from all over Europe. Through the fellowship, Fabian found a way of not only learning, but living value-based leadership in a space where it is easy to leave his comfort zone. Besides be.boosted, he is working in corporate social responsibility and engaged in voluntary consulting for youth start-up founders. In his free time, you will find Fabian doing witty university sports like "Völkerball", or simply watching unnecessary detailed YouTube documentaries.

Lena Seelig

Lena was part of Team WorldMUN in 2023. Studying Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Utrecht University, she is currently on exchange in Australia taking courses in gender studies. Her main interest lies in gender equality, and she is genuinely passionate about making a difference in this field. Lena enjoys engaging in debates and finds inspiration in the company of like-minded individuals. During her free time, she loves staying active, soaking up the sun, and spending quality time with her friends. Lena is excited to share her knowledge and enthusiasm with the new fellows, empowering them to discover their own leadership styles and find inspiration in each other.

But before that, he spent the last year working on crisis management for the European Union. Patrick's all about bringing people together and celebrating our differences. He's a big fan of spending time outdoors, especially in the mountains, and he absolutely loves being in untouched nature. When he's not out adventuring, you'll find him hooked on audiobooks and hitting the pavement as a passionate runner. He's all about combining the two for maximum enjoyment.

Jonas Wengel

Jonas was part of Team LIMUN 2023. He just finished his Bachelor in Business Informatics at Saarland University. Before he starts his Master's, he will do some internships. According to him, the best thing about the fellowship at be.boosted are the people and the opportunity to step out of your comfort zone. With a strong interest in start ups, leadership and negotiation, he is looking forward to share his knowledge gained in last years fellowship. Outside of be.boosted, he is passionate about cooking, traveling, sports like running or tennis, and other outdoor activities.

Caro von Lampe

Caro was a part of Team Paris 2023. Having recently completed her undergraduate degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics at the University of Oxford, she is looking forward to starting a traineeship in the European Parliament in September.

With a background in Performing Arts and Debating, she is excited to pass on her experience and passion to the next generation of fellows.

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.
