UN New York 15.08.2008 - 22.08.2008

Christoph Spicher

Grown up in a tiny town near Bern, Christoph Spicher found the way to the University of Geneva after an exchange year in Barcelona and working experience as a waiter in Zermatt. He has chosen to study International Relations convinced that today’s problems only can be solved with an approach from different points of view. With his openness he quickly gets in touch with many people, so also at his first day at university when he met the Secretary General of GIMUN 07. This was at the very beginning of his MUN-addiction…That is also one of the reasons why he is very motivated to co-organize the study trip to New York this August. He almost cannot wait to meet you and to spend an interesting time together full of unforgettable moments and experiences…

Kaspar Paur

Born and raised in a little village close to Zurich, I decided in 2006 to exchange cows and farms with the “Jet d’Eau” and “Palais the Nations” and I am now studying International Relations at the University of Geneva. After participating in various Model United Nations (MUNs) around Europe, I decided dedicate large portions of my free time to the GIMUN (Geneva International MUN) where I am currently active as President. With my GIMUN-mandate running out in spring 08, I have enough time to co-organise the two ‘GIMUN-IFIL’ journeys to the US.
