Xiangtong Liu is a year 11 student currently studying at Doha College. Having been brought up away from her home country, China, she has gained an understanding for different cultures and traditions. At the same time, this allowed her to realise the importance of maintaining her own culture. With that in mind, she hosted a reading club within her local community that aimed at exploring the arts of the Chinese language and history for children, which ran for two years. From this, she was able to acquire key public speaking and leadership skills. She is also an active debater as part of her school debate team and an avid member of MUN since middle school. Xiangtong has attended several conferences in which she served as delegate, advocate and student officer. Through these experiences, she has developed great interest in political and international affairs. Xiangtong sees MUN as a wonderful platform for young individuals to be exposed to global issues and politics, connecting them and empowering them to strive for change; she wants to use her passion and enthusiasm to bring this to more youth activists worldwide. This is the reason why she participated in the virtual MUN@Home program and is now honoured to be serving as this year’s MUN@Home Under Secretary General for High School Programs. Alongside this, Xiangtong is very devoted to classical music and has been playing the piano since the age of five; she is also currently a member of her school’s orchestra.
