Andrei Pankratov

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I'm a&nbsp;</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 1rem;">college student from Tallinn, Estonia, studying Politics and Governance at the University of Tartu. My passion for MUN conferences started at the age of 12 with the Estonian Model United Nations, where I was the youngest participant at the time. I continued participating in Model United Nations conferences as a delegate for five years, receiving Outstanding and Best Delegate awards. After passing chair training in Estonia, I became an aspiring chair in the Estonian MUN community, participating in conferences in Tallinn and Tartu and gaining international experience in the United States and Italy. Along with MUN conferences, I also participated in global education training and international seminars, becoming involved with the Estonian National Commission for the UNESCO youth group. Apart from debating and global education, my experience includes participation in local politics. Having served as a member of the Tallinn Youth City Council and the Estonian Youth Assembly, I gained invaluable experience which fueled my passion for politics, greatly inspiring my academic career choice. I have also been involved in the international student movement, having participated in the International Student Festival in Trondheim and taking part in student exchange networks. Right now, I focus largely on my senior studies and working as a civics teacher at a local school in Tallinn.</span>
