Reflection on the Mobility Week in Piatra Neamt 

April 2025            

Global Thinking Starts Young

Representatives from Romania, Greece, Türkiye, and Ireland gathered in Piatra Neamț, Romania, for the kickoff mobility of the Junior Model United Nations (JMUN) project, hosted by Școala Gimnazială Nr. 1. This two-day event marked the beginning of an inspiring Erasmus+ journey that brings together students and educators to simulate real-world diplomacy and engage in climate-focused dialogue.

The goals of this mobility were to:

• Build a strong foundation for international cooperation among partners

• Introduce students to the principles of climate diplomacy and the workings of the UN

• Distribute responsibilities and collaboratively plan project activities

• Select MUN committee topics related to climate change

• Promote intercultural exchange and team building

Throughout the event, students aged 11–15 participated in ice-breaking activities, collaborative discussions, and committee planning sessions. Teachers and NGO representatives worked closely to coordinate logistics, design educational content, and establish a clear roadmap for the project’s implementation.

Key Outcomes:

• A shared understanding of the project’s objectives and timeline

• Agreement on MUN committees and climate-related topics

• Strengthened intercultural ties between students and educators

• Empowered young participants ready to represent their assigned countries in upcoming MUN simulations

• Defined strategies for managing challenges and ensuring smooth communication among partners
