Jood Kassab is currently a Year 13 student at Park House English School. Born and raised in Qatar, Jood is originally Palestinian. Having been to two international schools for more than eight years, she has been exposed to the truly diverse community Qatar has to offer, which allowed her to expand her knowledge about all different types of backgrounds which intrigued her as a child. In addition, her participation in MUN for the past four years has opened up a door where her interest and passion in global affairs can be developed. Being the granddaughter of four first-generation Palestinian refugees, she has always been socially and politically aware – more specifically towards her country. She has learnt to use her patriotism to raise awareness about the injustices happening, not just in her country, but around the world. Jood strongly believes her generation’s abilities to make change has so much potential – prominently through the use of social media – to bring attention to any issues they are passionate or sympathetic about. Therefore she feels the drive to encourage them to use the platforms and voices they have to educate others in order to make change.
