What has been your favorite thing about your post? 🌎 -Hands down to see the association grow bigger and better through the amazing work of our board, trustees and active members! Taking part in one of the many events our groups organise and to see how professional it is just makes me feel proud to be part of the association, and privileged to oversee it. What is your best UF memory? 🌎 -After being involved for many years, it is difficult to just pick one. Although the opportunity to meet UN-diplomats, politicians, activist and other professionals I look up to has been a once-in-a-lifetime thing, my strongest memory is from planning meetings with our active members, board meetings and workshops with the board and after-hours budgeting. It might not be as glamorous, but it is there that I have met people I will probably have in my life for a long time ahead, and I have learned skills my courses at UU can’t provide. Getting involved in UF is absolutely the best decision I have made! What are three words of advice you would give your successor?🌎 -Plan well, dream big, but first, APPLY!

Also the everyday work and our weekly meetings in the PR-group has been great! -Rebecka: There are so many! Besides our incredible board kickoff, I will fondly remember all the everyday hangouts with my fellow board members. A particularly good moment was when our song books were delivered, flipping through the pages of the first UF songbook ever was amazing. What are three words of advice you would give your successors?🌎 -Dream big, plan far ahead and collaborate often!

Remember that applications for the UF Board of 2020/21 are open. 🌎 Describe your post in one sentence! 🌎 -I am in charge of Uttryck's web magazine where we publish articles that discuss current and non-current events in foreign affairs. What has been your favorite thing about your post? 🌎 -I think I have grown a lot while having this post. I hadn't done anything like this before but now that I have, I don't know what to do without it. It has also been extremely fun to discuss matters of foreign affairs, a topic which I am very passionate about. What is your best UF memory? 🌎 -That would be the many editorial meetings we have had during the operational year.

What is your best UF memory? 🌎 -When the entire UF board had a private dinner with the UN Special Envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, at the Snerikes upper floor after his lecture and he taught us about the history of toasting customs.
