1) We approached the delegate of China in the WHO, Sofía, who made several standout speeches in her committee and asked her a few questions. This is how it went:
Spanish omelette with or without onion (the question is funnier in Spanish)?
– without
Three favourite things in life? Hobbies, activities, etc.
– Languages (she speaks a staggering 6 languages!), horse riding, spending time with friends
One change you’d like to see in this world:
– Less xenophobia
Your dream?
– Serve the Kingdom of Spain as a diplomat
2) We had a fun conversation with Victoria from the organising committee, who has worked tirelessly to ensure that you and I have a good conference and asked her a few questions. This is how she responded:
Pizza with or without pineapple?
– With. I like the combination of salty and sweet.
Three favourite things in life? Hobbies, activities, etc.
– The ocean and many things connected to it like water sports, sailing, etc. I also like books and chemistry!
One change you’d like to see in this world?
– I wish people would care more about others. We all care about ourselves but seldom think about how our actions impact others.
Your dream as a child?
– I wanted to become an astronaut. It was unchartered territory and a way to make a difference. I also wanted to become a human rights lawyer and help make the world a better, more equal place.
If you could write a letter of advice to your pre-Zu(Zoom)MUN-self, what would you say?
– I’d say that it doesn’t have to be perfect all the time. Come to think of it, many people who might not have been able to travel to Zurich have taken part in the MUN!
3) We also got together with Matthieu, Marie Louise, Nora and Yagmur, the amazing and distinguished members of the IPC to ask them the same set of profound questions. Read on to see what they had to say:
Pizza with or without pineapple?

– Nora: media, cheese (especially the Luzerner Rahmkäse), plants (Julius, Vivienne and Eve inter alia)

– Matthieu: more kindness and cheaper train tickets

– Yagmur: better access to proper healthcare for everyone
Your childhood dream?
