Writers

Hello!

I am Ada Sayal, an IB student from Nesibe Aydın with such passion for MUN. I decided to join my own school’s MUN (NAMUN) in December 2018 and to this day, it is the best decision I have ever made. I have served in many positions such as, delegate, chair, academic assistant, head of business and press member and I can’t express how much I enjoyed every single one of them. Many may see MUN as an excessively-academic experience, and indeed it is. However, as educating as it is, MUN is also a convenient tool to meet new people, have fun with your company and just learn more about the world. I am truly honored to serve as a writer at this brilliantly planned community, MUNTURKEY. Hope our articles will help or even enlighten you!

Hey there! It's Aleyna Bakar. I live in Istanbul and 18 years old. From the start of my first MUN to now, MUN is my world. Despite my love for debating and learning, meeting with new people or seeing new faces makes me happy in all the conferences I go. I would like to; help people at their first conference and be the reason for their future attendance. I feel like in the real United Nations instead of a model one in every organization. The hope inside myself about saving the world means a lot to me and occur a reason for me to be here. I hope we all can provide the real UN atmosphere in our individual lives too! 

Hey there! My name is Neris Aydemir ( It is a Circassian name means: in your eye, eye focus or so), and I am a 10th grader at FMV Işık Erenköy Science High School. I joined our schools MUN Club last year and loved it a lot:) I try to participate all of the conferences that are suitable for me and my schedule. I love writing a lot and I write in a magazine called ‘GLOBE’ at our school. I also love watching movies, tv series, reading books, attending conferences -a lot- and meeting with new people. Feel free to contact me;) Hope you enjoy my works:)

Hi there! I'm Miray, a seventeen-year-old with such a passion for MUN. Since I've become a senior this year, I'm no longer available to be an active MUNer -sadly-. However, it doesn't mean that I have to cut MUN off my life as a whole. While adding my endless appreciation for the MUNTurkey team for providing me such an amazing platform, I would like to state my excitement to be able to talk about MUN without the fear of boring someone, hopefully at least 😉 If you are ready for this journey as well, then let's make this season a great one!

My name is Irmak and I am 17 years old. I love debating, sharing my ideas- especially by talking!- and searching for movement of thoughts. I have participated in 6 MUN Conferences and I do have 3 Outstanding Delegate Award. I have started going MUNs after I realized I am actually not bad at debating.

I was born in Kayseri on 18 September 2002. I graduated from Kayseri Doğa Secondary School in 2016. Now, I am a scholarship student in Kayseri Final Science High School. If I could attend d’MUN 2014 it would be my first conference but  I couldn’t attend because of health problems. However, participating in an MUN conference was always ideal for me. I made a dream come true in 2018 as participating in a conference in Adana FIMUN 2018. After my first conference, I became an MUN addict. I can say that MUNAAL’18 was a milestone for my MUN career. It is great to be serving as MUNTurkey.com writer.

Whilst talking about crucial problems about the world continuously enlightens me, debating about them enhances my confidence. I'm truly excited to be a part of the nicest community of MUNTurkey and can't wait to share my thoughts and experiences here.
