Training day CS Vincent van Gogh

Dear delegates,

On the 17th and 18th of December, The ASMUN Inner Circle gave MUN trainings at CS Vincent van Gogh. We thank everybody for their great input which led to fruitful debates. On this day, many students discovered their passion for MUN, we saw the students develop great debating and speeching skills throughout the days and we hope to see them back during the conference!
