THE FUTURE WE WANT, THE UN WE NEED
Last weekend, I couldn’t even get an answer. I tried to call but your GA wouldn’t let me dial. I have to stop opening my blog-posts like this. Otherwise, I might have you thinking I do not take this seriously and believe me, I do. You would think that 4-5 hours on a hot Saturday in June […]
Team Building destination…Shkodra! Think of a perfect getaway for such a hardworking and fun-loving youth organization as UNYA-A? Well, this year the destination was Shkodra! Why? Easy, firstly because Shkodra is a renowned touristic and historical destination in Albania. We went for Shkodra, also because last year we visited; this year we wanted to explore […]
In case you are reading this, you either love my blogging deeply (that I am sure of) or you have heard about the newest entry in our activities list: Simulation Game. I sure do hope it is the second. Not only Simulation Game is a pretty cool name for an activity (especially in times of […]
While writing to the sound of raindrops tapping on your bedroom window is common young-artist aesthetics, considerable-size hail pounding the ground on the 11th of April (which is Spring in the Northern hemisphere) still does not sit well with me.

A couple of days ago, we published this poster on our social media, a poster for this event, a launching conference for this program, which is the biggest project that UNA Albania has organized up to this day and comes as the culmination of almost 2 years of hard work. It goes by the name […]
Remember the time I was writing on this blog I was expressing on my experience in “Human Rights in Action” training program in Geneva, Switzerland? If you remember that (Sure you do!), you also understand that if it wasn’t for UNYAA being a WFUNA member, then my chances of participation would be dim, to say […]
Couple of months before, if they asked me “What are your plans for the weekend before?”, my answer would have not been: Well Mary, I am actually attending this 2-day long Model UN-workshop to learn how to better prepare for such conferences and how to further develop my leadership and negotiation skills. Why? First of […]
For every non-UNerd* out there, Model UN (MUN) can seem a little bit, well, esoteric. Since my mission in life has become bringing people together, I have decided to meet you halfway and break down some MUN-related concepts. I shall warn you: Once a UNerd, always UNerd. First of, what the heck is Model UN […]
