Hello! My name is Zsofia Bodnar and I am from Hungary. I am part of the PSCORE Team for the Model UNSF Conference. I am currently finishing my undergraduate studies majoring in International Studies at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies.
I have been part of the PSCORE Team since the beginning of September and I will be staying until the end of the conference. While working on the conference I have been assigned various duties such as interviewing potential candidates for the Organizing Committee, creating promotional materials, recruiting lecturers for the Model UNSF Lecture Series, seeking partner MUNs, and organizing the orientations with my peers.
I believe our current members and future participants will be great inspirations for young individuals and our future leaders and they will be key actors for raising awareness of the issues surrounding North Korea in reference to the Sustainable Development Goals

S. Esi Arthur Apraku
I’m S. Esi Arthur Apraku; I am Ghanian-Italian from Italy, soon graduating from The Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan, Italy. I have been interested in Korea for a while. Thanks to my studies on International Cooperation and Development and personal interest in the field, I searched for an internship in South Korea. I came across PSCORE thanks to my brother, who was helping me to find companies for an internship. I joined PSCORE Team in September until the end of November, working in the model UNSF conference. Besides that, I have been part of the promotional materials, helping in the social media content, especially on the YouTube platform, Interviews for youtube content, and the Model UNSF, which will be in January 2022. For someone hungry for knowledge, being part of PSCORE has given me an excellent opportunity to explore different parts of an NGO, with the chance to learn from colleagues and various fields of a single organization. I believe that a chance like this shapes each individual professionally and personally to have considerable skills in life.

Before, I was a Social Media Intern for PSCORE. I started to follow then Tohi’s timeline and we helped her create the Model UNSF. I was in charge of creating the application to recruit the future members of the OC as well as the recruitment paper. I posted as well on the social media of PSCORE for the countdown posts about the recruitment. We did after the interviews and I reported the datas from those interviews to help create a social media post that summarized numbers and main information about the interviews. I helped create the timeline and duties explanation for the Tech Team and did a presentation to them. I am excited to see how the Model UNSF will grow and how it is going to be held.

Jenny Peters
Hello everyone! My name is Jenny Peters and I am a Master Student of Peace and Conflict Studies from Germany. My studies have reflected my enormous interest in conflict and security issues in Asia, specifically Korea, as well as the role and involvement of international institutions and organizations. I completed an internship with PSCORE from May until August this year and I am grateful for the opportunity to learn more on how the conflict with North Korea is affecting the life of South Koreans as well as North Korean defectors and how, from a civil society perspective, a NGO can take action and get involved within the international framework. Following my long personal involvement with Model United Nations, I am excited to support the organization of this new format of Model UNSF. I believe it can create new experiences and thereby foster new ways of discussions and exchange among students, especially around the issue of North Korea. North Korea is often exclusively debated in regard to security, however I believe it is time to concentrate more on human rights issues and the development of the country to the benefit of its citizens. I hope our participants can take a new lead and create innovative approaches within this conference in order to address root issues of North Korea within the framework of SDGs.
