Delegation Vancouver 2012

Jörg Hebenstreit, 24 years old, is studying political science at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena in his third semester. He completed his bachelor's degree in political science (core subject) and intercultural business communication (supplementary subject) with a thesis on the democratic theoretical potential of the Internet using the example of Obama's health care reform. In addition to his studies, he also works as a tutor at the Chair for Political Theory. As head delegate he especially wants to pass on his impressions and experiences gathered in Singapore at the WorldMun 2011 to new seminar participants. In addition, he would like to take advantage of the opportunity to deepen his technical, political, (inter-) cultural and linguistic knowledge - as conveyed at a WorldMUN conference. In his free time, he prefers to play handball and volleyball, attend concerts and spend many hours with friends, music and literature.

Christian Jänsch, 25 years old, is studying political science (major) and human geography (minor) at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena in his 5th semester. The focus of his bachelor's degree lies in the field of political theory and the history of ideas as well as in the great interest in the work of international organizations. The orientation of the minor in economic and social geography extends his enthusiasm for political and geographic issues. For him, being part of the WorldMUN delegation from Jena represents a great opportunity for his practical training at the university. In addition to the coming discussion with the embassy of South Sudan in preparation for the WorldMun, he is particularly looking forward to the diverse cultural impressions, which the Canadian city has to offer, and at the same time no less to the diplomatic challenges and negotiation strategies of the international conference. Outside of the university, he is interested in mainly philosophical and American literature, listening to and making music, photography and good conversations with friends. With this study trip to North America, a childhood dream is now coming true.

Friederike Selle, 22, is studying political science and sociology at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena in her 5th semester. In the last semester, she already took the "United Nations" module with Prof. Dr. Manuel Fröhlich and took part in the UNIGA simulation. She has already gathered important experience and information about the UN and negotiation strategies. During school, she spent eleven months at an American high school and is therefore always open to new cultures and countries. As a member of the Student Council for Political Science, she likes to organize and work in a team. She has set high goals for WorldMUN and is looking forward to this unique experience of putting what she has learned into practice and thus getting closer to her dream of working in an international organization.
