Description
A lack of public relations skills was identified as an acute problem within several UNYANET member associations, which inspired us to create a project for organizing a public relations training in a form of an international workshop. The aim of the Public Relations Workshop is to offer each UNYANET member organization a basic set of public relations skills in order to create visible and strong UNYAs capable of promoting themselves, UNYANET and the UN.

Tjalke Weber, Germany
I am studying Ger
man-Italian Studies, a binational programme at the Universities of Bonn (Germany) and Florence (Italy), where I am currently spending my third year. Since I participated in a MUN conference for the first time in 2006, I have been fascinated by the idea to introduce the UN to young people by simulations like MUN. That is the reason why I have been involved within different MUN conferences. In summer 2009 I joined UNYA Germany and I am serving there as a spokesperson right now. In my free time I enjoy seeing friends, reading, travelling and doing some sports.
