I am a 15 year old studying at FAIPS, DPS Kuwait. In my free time you would find me reading books, playing video games or listening to music. My journey with MUNs began 2 years ago with my school mun, and this has since then exposed me to a huge number of perspectives and possible solutions for large-scale world problems. I can still recall the nervousness I felt when I joined a MUN session for the first time, and looking back now I can feel the number of skills MUNs have helped me develop. I would advise all delegates to thoroughly research the committee topic and country stances. Furthermore, I can't stress enough the importance of conquering your hesitancy to deliver speeches and propose solutions to your fellow delegates.

My name is Mariano Pucciarelli and it is my immense honour and pleasure to be serving as Crisis Director for this edition of IPMUN. I’m currently a Junior at The British School of Rio de Janeiro (Barra Site) and ever since I began my Model United Nations career, I’ve fallen deeper in love with it with every passing conference. Our main goal here is to create a proper and safe environment where delegates can flourish their skills and have an amazing time while doing so, thus don’t worry if it’s your first or twentieth conference, we’ll always be here to help in any way needed. Outside of MUN, I love spending time with my family and friends as well as playing the piano and watching/playing football. I am extremely passionate about biology and history too! If not doing one of those you’ll probably find me listening to music, studying or watching one of my favourite movies such as The Dark Knight, La La Land, and the MCU. I am enthralled and elated by what this committee has to offer and the debates it’ll generate, surprises and lots of fun are guaranteed! If any questions arise, don’t hesitate to contact me at marianopucciarelli@gmail.com, see you soon!
