Here's what Nick Boucher, the President of the United Nations Youth and Students UK had to say about his time in South Korea so far...
I have safely landed in Seoul this morning after many hours of travel. The day began with an interesting bus journey from the airport (INC) to the hotel. Seoul is quite unique, especially in the amount of constant construction going on and very tall and clustered buildings, indeed amazing to look at. It is definitely a city that is very alive with culture and tradition!
Tim (YPN) and I met with Sam Daws (UNA-UK Executive Director) as well as with other WFUNA and WFUNA-youth delegates and members. It was good to see everyone, and we look forward to meeting the rest of the delegation. The weather in Seoul is very hot and humid at the moment, leaving to adventures out into town further limited by jetlag :-)
However, we did meet with a group of other delegates for dinner at the Seoul Tower, overlooking the city. Tomorrow we are meeting for an informal event with all present youth delegates and are looking forward to the start of the Plenary Assembly on Monday. The schedule is fully packed!
There is a lot that will come out of this conference, and we hope to work better with other UNYA's and continue to share common goals with them! Back in th UK, the Youth Council is currently preparing for Fresher's Fayre, and have available information on the Educations Outreach programme, which allows us to better inform younger people about the UN and opportunities to get involved.
