Andreas participated in the OIT (Organization International du Travail) committee, where for a week, the participants imitated the work of United Nations bodies. Andreas spoke about the reason why he decided to participate in the conference: “I am open to new cultures, I like to read and broaden my mind, and I am outraged by the growing inequality in the 21st century. I want peace and justice, not only regarding the migrants labor force, but also in many other issues. MSUMUN –2020 is a good opportunity to meet new people, study their culture and views on various world issues."
