Most Esteemed Participants,
I am Berkay Korkmaz and I am honored to serve you as your Secretary General of Q-MUN .I would like to introduce you our conference, Q-MUN which will be held between 28-30 April 2020.
We as the youth are going through a hard time and it has affected many lives including ours. Many of us can not do the things we usually do on a daily basis. But as the secretariat of Q-MUN we are doing our very best to make your time in quarantine enjoyable.
At this conference we will be hosting our esteemed participants at 6 committees. One of them being a JMUN committee (UNICEF), the other one being our Turkish committee (ECOFIN). We also have four other committees which will be held in English, one of them being a Crisis Committee (Plague), other committees being CC: The Barrow Gang, UNODA and UNEP.
Our theme for this conference is the coronavirus outbreak so that is why we mostly have this topic as our agenda item. But that will diversey between the committees.
Lastly, I hope to see you all at Q-MUN.
Kindest Regards,
Berkay Korkmaz
Secretary General of Q-MUN
