The representatives are scheduled to group up into teams based on themes such as urban development and sustainable development to collect data and make presentations, and share their opinions with local hands-on workers at the UN Headquarters.
Yoon Soo-hyun stated, "I visited the UN Headquarters during my six month language program in New York. I am preparing a lot despite the fact that it will be short because this is not just a trip or visit, but I am an official representative." She added, "As this is an opportunity to actually experience what happens at international organizations while meeting with people from around the world including UN workers, I will make a lot of preparations and learn as much as possible."
The representatives will learn and experience 'UN's various and specialized structure', 'major agendas', and 'overall understanding and critical thinking on multi-party decision-making procedures' under the theme of 'UN Sustainable Development Goals' that will be the development index of the entire world by 2030, and are anticipated to train their capacities to gain a foothold for international activities.
Jung Si-young, who is also preparing for as a member of the representatives, said, "I applied to join the representatives because I wanted to experience in person what exactly the UN, which is a highly known international organization, does. I feel that my English is not as good as the rest of the representatives so I am concentrating on studying English for now." She added, "I have high expectations as the majors of the other students are diverse and because I will be able to meet with workers from various countries at the UN Headquarters in New York. I hope that I will be able to speak about various international issues with them, hold discussions, and learn and experience the perspectives of various people."
