Change the World Academy Reviews 170

CWMUN Paris was beyond what I had imagined and such a beautiful experience. During the weekend, we got to put ourselves in the shoes of ambassadors to address urgent challenges promoted by the United Nations (UNESCO).
Nothing would have been possible without the months of preparation leading up to the conference, with our lovely Professor Squillaci!
Learning from the delegates coming from all the world was just as enriching. In the span of a weekend, I could really tell that I was improving by simply observing the talented individuals surrounding me.
I also owe this beautiful experience to my Chairs who were really helpful and understanding throughout the entire process.
CWMUN Paris was my second ever MUN and I already know that it will remain one of my favorite ones (because yes, I will be back and am already looking forward to the years to come).
So thank you to the board, my tutor, my honorable Chairs and fellow delegates <3.

Meeting students from all around the world was definitely the best part. The teachers are great, the experience is memorable, and you get the chance to visit a new city, which is always something to appreciate. A beautiful experience in so little time... we even ended up crying on the last day.

Awaiting a refund from the CWMUN 2021 in New York. After 2 years they finally caved in to ask for bank details. Since May 2023, I have been regularly emailing them for an update. No money, no answer, only my frustration I have ever wanted to participate in such a questionable experience. Avoid.

I participated to the CWMUN Emirates 2023. The experience was not pleasant and I do not recommend wasting your time with these scammers.

While I appreciate the courses provided, I must say that the real-life experience was awful. If you truly want to participate, stick to the online CWMUN. You will still get access to most of the lectures and won't have to go through the unpleasant experience of attending it in person.

At this point, I am positive that this 'organization' scams people out of their money. They don't even show a possibility of choosing an option without an included hotel. In reality, it is available and you just have to privately ask for it in an email. However, they hide this from you and if you bring it up they try to convince you it's better to stay in their shared rooms so that you 'get to know each other.' Because I believed them, I ended up being overcharged for a hotel which was definitely not worth the amount I paid. For that money I could have stayed by myself in a better area and even save up some money to rent a car, which is definitely a necessity in the UAE, just fyi.

Most of the attendees are Italian and they give off the clear vibe that they only came to the UAE to party and are also taking part to the MUN so that it'll look good on their resume. The meetings were rushed and there was very little time for the actual MUN part. It was pretty clear that they were all just waiting to go out partying or whatever.

Another infuriating aspect was that they accept attendees anywhere from middle school to PhD (ages 9-30). How are you going to make middle school children compete with PhD candidates in the same room? This is ridiculous and anyone with a sensible mind would be able to tell this is a terrible idea. The little kids were unable to keep quiet for more than 10 minutes, so all throughout the MUN the Dais would try shutting them up, which would often not even work.

This 'conference' (if it can even be referred to as such at this point) left me with a very bitter taste. Do your research better before joining MUNs and don't end up getting scammed by some Italians like I unfortunately did! Their consultative status with the UN should be immediately revoked.

Scammers, they give everyone a "scholarship", then make sure share a bed with a complete stranger, and give you 5 minutes of debate time as they are always under "Time Constraints". Staff only speaks Italian and Italians get invited to special events and get discounts while the rest have secondary treatment.

Third time at the CWMUN event, being a delegate is already an incredible and enriching experience, but coming back a second time as part of the staff is even better, these were days with a lot of learning, growth, new friendships and good teachings from the chief of DAIS Alice Corbino who is the perfect leader to guide the great DAIS team!! I would like to thank Alice and all the DAIS team for such an amazing environment that turned out to be a cwmun family!! Looking forward to come to the next events again and again!

I just concluded my experience as Director in Security Council 1B and it was simply amazing.
I would love to thank Alice Corbino, the Chief of DAIS, for her incredible work, done with great leadership spirit!
Her exemplary guidance through this experience was key in order for things to work out properly, and I actually can’t thank her more!
I would also like to extend my gratitude to all of my colleagues for the time we spent together, and make a special thank to my honorable Chairperson, Giorgia Gemelli, who also guided me through the CWMUN Emirates 2023 experience. Giorgia is a woman we all should look up to for her incredible determination and her work ethic.
CWMUN has been and still is the most inspiring and educational experience I’ve ever attended and I cannot recommend it more!
CWMUN staff is a family and once you’ll join the family it’ll be impossible for you to leave.

Even after more than 8 years doing MUNs and 5 years directly engaged as staff member, taking part on this conference was above all, for me, an incredible opportunity to exit my confort zone and rethink my MUN culture that I've been biesed for a long time. It felt just like my first MUN as staff! There isn't a MUN without a engaged and conected staff, and what I saw during those days is a family that love being together working to offer the best experience possible to the delegates. I really hope to have an opportunity to participate in more conferences in the future and also bring some of Brazilian delegates to participate on the next CWMUNs.

Associazione Diplomatici has proved itself once again. Part of my heart still is in Emirates. This CWMUN happened to be something new for me; for the very first time I have had the chance to participate not as a delegate, but as a staff member, and consequently to see what's actually behind. Surprisingly, I have enjoyed being part of the DAIS even more than being a delegate, which I have also really loved. I believe that what made the experience this great was Diplomatici's ability to create a friendly environment, where one can learn, get to know and bond with incredible people, and have amazing experiences creating long lasting memories.
I also feel that working with Martina as a Chair played a big role. Since she gave me her trust, I got to see and realise what a fantastic family Diplomatici is.
Concluding, other than Martina, I sincerely feel like I need to thank all of the staff members, especially Alice, who along with Martina, really helped me to see the group's necessities, Flavio and Marella, who I have had the pleasure to travel with, Alessandro Dimaiuta, who I am extremely grateful to have met, since being inspired by him, got me into my very first CWMUN and made me love every part of it and Alice Corbino, who put her trust in us and managed to make the whole thing work.

I'm honored to share that through dedication and teamwork, lots of talks and preparatory meetings, I've been appointed as a Tutor Junior for Associazione Diplomatici. It's an incredible opportunity to contribute to the next generation of students that will be amazing leaders one day. And I'm eager to embark on this journey, fostering growth and knowledge within this esteemed NGO.

The story goes back to quite a few years ago: at that time i was a first year student and i remember so vividly how this whole experience marked my life.
Ever since then, my aspirations and dreams became crystal clear.

However, this accomplishment wouldn't have been possible without the support of my amazing team and the opportunities provided by Associazione Diplomatici. Last but not least, having you as a mentor Giusi Squillaci is as incredible as having you as a teacher had been. I am deeply grateful for the encouragement, guidance, and support

In the next upcoming months, in the training course, we will discuss about the UN System, provide tools to write effective Position Papers and Resolutions, challenge ourselves with Public Speaking and Negotiation techniques and so much more. Everything will lead to the big CWMUN conference in New York City at the UN Headquarters.

Let's keep pushing boundaries and striving for more together!

The most beautiful experience of my life. I thank Stefano Elisabetta Marco Domenico and all the staff of Diplomatici who made this wonderful trip possible. It is definitely worth trying at least once in your life as it opens your mind and also gives you new friendships and wonderful memories. The escorts are always fantastic and always go out of their way to please us because they step into our shoes. The simulation part is beautiful as it makes you understand how important decisions are made in our world. And in the end you also have the opportunity to meet the people who make these decisions in person. The tourism part, however, fills the heart with happiness and memories and the mere thought of returning home makes you cry. But it's nice precisely because the memories of the trip remain forever in our hearts and fill us with stories to tell.💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

A hug

This is one of the most beautiful experience for me, every time is a pleasure to take part of this enormous family. I want to thank Marella and Flavio, who every MUN want us to have fun, following the rules, and enjoy this experience to the full. I wanna thank also Alice Corbino, one of the greatest manager, also with Claudio, Alessandro and Enrico who I respect and esteem infinitely. For real I thank for the experience, I hope to see you again very very soon.

Associazione Diplomatici proved once again to really deserve my sincere esteem! It is already the second time I join CWMUNs as a volunteer staff member and there will be a third for sure. Change the World Model United Nation’s environment is truly motivating, it really makes you love what you are working for. I want to thank all the people I met during this wonderful experience, proactive and kind fellows, and in particular the Chief of Dais, Alice Corbino, for trusting me. This amazing experience would not have been possible without her meticulous and tireless work.
I will never forget the beautiful memories of CWMUN Emirates 2023. Looking forward to the next! Highly recommend!

An amazing opportunity to come and hone your diplomatic and debating skills, with people from over 100 countries. Attending CWMUN Emirates was a pleasure with all arrangements set and ready. Thanks to the entire CWMUN team for helping us provide the delegates an enthralling experience. Looking forward to future CWMUN's

I would really want to thank Associazione Diplomatici and all of its staff for extreme hospitality and dedication they show for their work. Thanks to them every year I always feel at home. In particular I want to thank Alice Corbino, chief of dais, for placing her trust in me once again despite everything. Alice is one of the most responsible, passionate, collaborative and helpful people I know. Without her none of this would have been possible. Thank you Associazione diplomatici and Change the World for the incredible experience you gave me and hundreds of other students !! If you have the chance I highly recommend you participate in this project to become part of this incredible family.

Simply great! I would have never imagined to be part of such an amazing experience with a super dynamic team! CWMUN is really an interesting and stimulating project for both students and staff members. It’s a wonderful opportunity to meet new people from all over the world and understanding other cultures and viewpoints. Students are always so kind, hardworking and cooperative and at the end of the conference they may also become new nice friends! Moreover, being part of the staff for the second time in one year has been literally AMAZING! My colleagues make me always feel home to the extent that I can proudly state we’re members of the same family. Thank you all guys!

It is already the second time I take part in the CWMUN as a volunteer staff member and I will certainly do it a third time. I was amazed at how ambitious and creative the delegates were and at their strong faith in diplomacy as a tool to shape a better global society. But above all, I was happy to work again with Diplomatici. It is such a vibtant and friendly environment. It feels like a family but it is also very proactive and efficient. We were always proactive and ready to face sudden changes. The DAIS supervisor, Alice, is a very supportive leader and is always ready to listen to us. She did a great job in training us and in coordinating the event’s sessions and works. I was also in team with a great director, Alessia, who being more experienced, was an important support and we managed not only to work efficiently together but also to make the experience enjoyable and memorable for all delegates in our Committee. A great experience! the CWMUN in Abu Dhabi was a wonderful experience that every young person with international aspirations should take part in. Highly recommend!

It is a very well organised institution in the MUN World which makes them at some point the best one, as they give you packets with fixed prices! They are like a family and I am very proud that I am part of it and help through it! Both as a delegate and as a Dais Member the feelings are unforgettable and the memories incomparable! See you to the next one! Thank you Alice and Angelo for the trust!

Being on the staff team of the CWMUN was truly magnificent. The atmosphere was very friendly and pleasant; our supervisor Miss Alice, who gave us the opportunity to represent Associazione Diplomatici for which I'm very very grateful, was a true leader, helping us with all the doubts always and coordinating everything in an excellent and extraordinary way despite all the difficulties.
CWMUN provides a lifetime and unique experience to every participant; whoever decides to attend a conference of CWMUN will pass a time which he will remember with a smile for the rest of his life.
Guaranteed!

The CWMUNs are the events I keep looking forward throughout the year. The international air that I breathe in the conference rooms, enriched by aspirations and the dire desire to make a change, fills my chest with a purifying breeze that allows me to see the real hope for our future: our outstanding students.
This was my third experience as a DAIS member, and out of each every single one of the events I have attended Emirates will always have a special place in my heart. Furthermore the opportunity to work with such an outstanding team, where unity does not limit itself to the conference and staff rooms, but rather extends to our hearts even when apart. Incomparable skills are not the sole gift I get to cherish after the event came to an end, but the opportunity to augment my life luggage with wonderful memories and people allowed me to find even more joy and fulfilment in what I do, always wanting to make me come back and learn more.
Alice, the chief of DAIS, is always willing to help us and never fails to fuel our excitement for every session. She ensures everyone feels comfortable enough to perform at their best and never fails to prepare our team at its best for every possible scenario. She has taught me a lot, and is someone I highly look up to as she is able to manage our all team while being so young. Overall everyone has a special place in my heart, after Emirates I feel eager to keep on motivating my students into opening our eyes to the beauty of our world when peace and diplomacy are implemented to solve problems. As we start caring for them so young I believe that by nurturing them with support and hope all of them will bloom into lovely flowers that will help our world become the most beautiful bouquet
