The Delegates
Joshua Kriesmann

"As active solicitor for intercultural and transatlantic communication, I have a keen interest in deepening my understanding of the world. Exchanging views with people from different backgrounds is not only strengthening our sense of global wisdom but enlightens us on human diversity. Thus, joining the be.boosted delegation is a great opportunity for me to see the world through different eyes and to experience the unique set of people at the most competitive MUNs in the world."
Joshua (20), Law student at Freie Universität Berlin
Joshua and his organisation "Schüler Treffen Flüchtlinge" have recently been featured in the Berliner Morgenpost.

"Being at medical school myself, I keenly feel the need to go beyond specialized medical knowledge and to broaden my perspective on current global issues. Be.boosted offers the opportunity to shape diverse skills to make an impact in our increasingly complex society. I am super excited about becoming part of an ambitious and inspiring team and meeting other open-minded and committed students. Finally, attending MUN will be a unique chance to share ideas and, in the long run, to make change happen."

Thore Buergel

"I strongly believe in communication as the key to success. World MUN with its numerous comitees and days of intense negotiations is probably the very essence of applied communication. Hence I am more than excited to be part of the be.boosted Panama 2018 delegation. I am very much looking forward to the next months, an intensive time with brilliant people and can’t wait to meet the team and start working!"
Thore (23), MSc Molecular Biotechnology at Universität Heidelberg

"I am very excited to leave my little “bubble” and get to know a group of amazing, inspiring people from various backgrounds and disciplines. As one of our trainers said, be.boosted doesn’t only help us develop our skills and learn something new. Most importantly, we can push ourselves to the limit, and have a save environment for trying out something new, maybe even failing - but learning from it and doing better the next time. I am really looking forward to this amazing adventure!"
Caroline (20), BBA Hons International Business Management at Lancaster University Management School (UK) and ESB Business School (DE)

"I'm a Neuroscientist in the making, and I strive to promote science and access to education to everyone. be.boosted is exactly the challenging and inspiring environment I long for to push myself beyond my limits. I'm excited to work closely with a bunch of extremely talented and motivated people, and hope to learn first hand about making a sizable impact in this world!"

Backtosch Mustafa

"Be.boosted means for me improvement, experience and pushing yourself to the limits. Through be.boosted I want to improve myself and the world, I am living in. As the son of Afghan refugees, growing up in Germany, I can take various perspectives to find a solution for different current issues. As a delegate I can use this ability to improve my leadership-skills, learn how to act and negotiate about world issues and make new experiences that will help me pursue my future goals."

"Politics and IT were always fascinating fields to me and I happily engaged in both. Be.boosted allows me to interact with passionate, talented and highly qualified students from different scientific and cultural backgrounds. I hope to be presented with viewpoints beyond my present perception. Furthermore, I am determined to use my experiences for the community and to my personal improvement."
Dominik (24), Bsc Buisnessinformatics at Georg-August-Universität Göttingen

Maximilian Charlet

"Studying economics and management at WHU Vallendar and HEC Paris as well as Public Policy at FU Berlin, I combine a quantitative mindset with a profound knowledge of political sciences. be.boosted is a prime chance to apply my academic skills at Harvard World MUN in a global context. I aim at developing my negotiating skills, my rhetoric assertiveness as well as benefitting generally from the diverse backgrounds of my outstanding team members. I am therefor thrilled to participate in the fellowship."
Maximilian (25), MA Public Policy at Freie Universität Berlin and MSc in Managament at HEC Paris

Khoi Nguyen

"Debating and Philosophy are what defines me. One teaches me to quickly react to reasons; the other slows down my conscious thinking. One trains to speak clearly, the other to think clearly. But what both have in common is that they never let me get comfortable. Every time, they shake me up just a bit and nudge me slightly towards correcting my faults. That is why I'm fascinated by other be.boosted fellows, who through their genuine talent and ambition, inspire and challenge me. It's a reminder that I am, after all, still a work in progress."
Khoi (18), BA Philosophy, Politics and Economics at University of Warwick (UK)

Jana Schirmaier
|
Jana is this year's Head Delegate, and as such she is not only part of the delegation but also part of the trainer team. Jana was part of the be.boosted delegation to LIMUN 2017 and is excited to boost herself even more together with the new fellows by attending Harvard WorldMUN 2018 in Panama. As a psychology student at the University of Heidelberg she focuses on nudging and health behavior change - answering questions like "how can we make it easier for people to stick to their good intentions?" In addition, she works as a product manager on the development of new health concepts. Other than work, Jana loves songwriting.

The Trainer Team
Every year a core set of trainers takes on the challenge to make the fellowship become reality with the help of our head of skills, former head of skills, and the board of project directors. These core trainers also accompany our delegates to LIMUN and WorldMUN as advisors. However, throughout the fellowship a diverse set of alumni help out with the fellowship project and training in different ways: helping out with the selection process, chairing mock debates, participating in simulations, sharing expert content, being a mentor, raising funds, communicating with sponsors and more.

Clara (22), MSc Cognitive Neuroscience at Radboud University (NL)

She is a true believer of interdisciplinary collaboration and communication as requirements for scientific and societal advancement. Clara found her love for debating through be.boosted and enjoys connecting people within and outside be.boosted to the fullest. She's been part of Team Montreal 2017 and will be joining this year's delegation at LIMUN and WorldMUN as a Faculty Advisor.

York von Negenborn
York (24), Industrial Engineering at Technische Universität Dresden
York has been part of Team Montreal 2017 and loves the heated discussions at MUN conferences as they remind him of "Jugend-debattiert". Thus, you can always excite him with a good argument! In his spare time, he runs half and full marathons, preferably through his home town of Berlin. Berlin is also where his favourite theaters are located. The only thing that excites him more than seeing a good play, is talking about it afterwards. York will be travelling to LIMUN and WorldMUN as a Faculty Advisor.
