🌍 EAMUN Conference

My Experience at the 1st Annual ECAMUN Conference

The first annual ECAMUN conference was honestly unforgettable. It was four days full of nerves, intense debates, laughter, and new friendships, all set at the impressive KICC.

Day 1 began with a mixture of excitement and uncertainty. Delegates poured in, ready to begin another chapter of conference life, but this time outside the familiar UN setting. The atmosphere buzzed with anticipation, yet many of us were shy, hesitant, and still finding our footing in this new environment. Committees slowly came to life as delegates tested their voices, raised their first placards, and adjusted to the formalities of procedure

By Day 2, things changed completely. Debates became much stronger and more heated. People were rushing to sign up for speaking time, especially for the ICJ sessions, with the most talked-about case being UAE vs Qatar. Outside committee rooms, delegates were busy negotiating, forming groups, and typing away on resolutions while trying to convince others to support their ideas.

Day 3 was probably the most intense day. Amendments kept piling up on the chairs’ desks, and pages were running back and forth across the room. In the Security Council, vetoes caused huge reactions and even started debates about whether that power was fair at all. The energy in the room was crazy, and everyone was determined to defend their country’s stance and push their clauses through.

Then came Day 4, the final and most emotional day. It felt bittersweet. People were sad that the conference was ending but also joking about how they would finally stop missing school. I was really honoured to chair the World Language Committee for the Gujarati debate. It was amazing to watch delegates confidently discuss global issues in their own language and see how passionate everyone was.

Outside the committees, the morning General Assemblies were a big highlight. The speakers were super inspiring and motivated us for the day, and the media team’s funny videos always made everyone laugh. Those moments, along with random hallway conversations and late night drafting, turned into some of my favourite memories.

Overall, ECAMUN was an incredible experience. Four days of intense debate, unforgettable moments, and friendships made in caucuses and corridors. It is definitely a conference I will remember for a long time.

“The inaugural ECAMUN Annual Conference

The inaugural ECAMUN Annual Conference was an experience so powerful that words can hardly do it justice. From the very start, the atmosphere was filled with enthusiasm, purpose, and a shared passion for global dialogue. We were honoured to be joined by distinguished guest speakers, including Lady Justice Martha Karambu Koome and Aruna Varsani. Their speeches were not only outstanding but deeply empowering, inspiring us to think critically about leadership, justice, and service to society.

Although the experience felt nerve-wracking at first, those initial nerves soon gave way to a sense of confidence and ease. As debate unfolded and ideas were exchanged, the conference truly came alive. Then came a defining moment—I raised my placard, proudly representing the delegation of India. In that moment, I felt a strong sense of responsibility and pride, fully immersed in the role of a diplomat and aware of the impact that thoughtful dialogue can create.

Lastly, a huge congratulations to Jisu Sue, and Tamanda Kanyimbo for their outstanding achievements. Both of them were awarded Best Delegate in their respective committees, a testament to their preparation, leadership, and exceptional diplomacy. In addition, Stella Ng'ang'a was recognised as Best Writer in the Press Corps—an incredible accomplishment that highlights her clarity of thought and excellence in communication.

I would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our advisors, Ms. Chacha, Ms. Makena, and Mr. Wright, whose guidance, support, and dedication made this entire experience possible. From organising the conference to encouraging and preparing us every step of the way, your efforts ensured that we could participate, learn, and truly thrive at ECAMUN.
