Change the World Academy Reviews 

Scammer, Please be careful 🙏🙏🙏

It is a nice experience, but truth is they really rely on marketing for success. It is clear that the value for them lies in the money and not in the actual world life experience they provide students with, and that disturbs me.

Guys, please be careful. This is totally a scam. If you apply for their event. They scammed a lot of people. Authority should take action against this platform as soon as possible. They scam my $2000 dollars . I contacted a lot, but they do not response .

They are one of the scammers. They scam my 800 dollars , if i contacted for the refunds then they do not refund and reply

actually, they scam my money. They do not provide visa support.After rejecting visa, I communicate with them to refund my money but they do not refund my money is still one year. I contacted a lot but they do not response, when I contacted them to pay their response quickly. but when I contact them to refund, they do not response my messages. there is scam my $1000 dollars .

This is a total scam!
Do not sign up to any of their program - they are good at taking money from people and totally bad at refund that they should have given!!
Stay away from it.

It was a wonderful, fun, and engaging experience. You make so many friends and build amazing relationships with your companions that last long after the trip ends.
I also had the opportunity to discuss important global issues and compare perspectives with peers from other nations, which was incredibly rewarding. Definitely something to do again!
I would also like to say a huge thank you to all the staff for everything, and especially to my tutors, Marco and Azzurra, who were absolutely fantastic and supported us every step of the way.

This corporation is obviously a scam, on their socials they have over 60k followers, but an average post gets around 100 likes -> bought followers! Their agenda is to pushy and the merit they grand is only useable on their costs, so you will not be granted anything, but will have to pay 300-1000US Dollars, not including the flight ticket. All the staff has no resume at all, at best a LinkedIn page, that they have written themselves. The only source about this event is from their own website, an A.I. search will say its credible, but there is not a single other source to back this claim. And it is not recognized by top organisations such as the UN as they claim...

I paid around R$ 9,000 (approximately 1,600 EUR) to participate in a UN simulation organized by this company. Unfortunately, my visa to the US was denied twice. According to the signed contract, I was entitled to a refund.

I formally notified the company, submitted the refund request by email, and after several unanswered messages, I still haven’t received any reply or my money back. I sent all the required documents, on time, and followed every instruction.

I’m deeply disappointed by the company’s lack of responsibility, transparency, and respect for its clients. They simply stopped responding. This is unacceptable, especially considering the high amount paid.

I now publicly request that my case be resolved urgently. If they remain silent, I will take legal action.

The experience with the association was really exciting: this gives the opportunity to interact with the world of diplomacy by participating in a simulation and in the meantime had the opportunity to visit the city.
I want to thank Roberta and Angelo for the training in the months before arriving in New York, they were very helpful for various tips and information useful to carry out the simulation.
I was also impressed by the way in which the association invited distinguished guests to the opening ceremony, who expressed their views on the importance of cooperation between nations; In this way, from the beginning we were immersed in a cooperative mentality between co-delegates.
Finally, I would like to thank ELSA (European Law Student’s Association) for introducing me to this experience; without it and the many people I have met who participated in previous years, I would not have had the opportunity to take part in.

Participating in the New York MUN was an extraordinary experience that allowed me to immerse myself in the world of diplomacy while also discovering the incredible city of New York. The event was impeccably organized, ensuring an engaging and dynamic environment. The opening and closing ceremonies were particularly impactful, setting the stage for stimulating discussions. The presence of distinguished speakers at the opening ceremony was truly inspiring, as they emphasized the importance of international cooperation.

The preparation leading up to the event was just as valuable. The months of training provided me with essential skills that significantly improved my ability to navigate the simulation. I am especially grateful to Roberta and Angelo for their dedication and guidance, which made a real difference in my readiness and confidence.

None of this would have been possible without ELSA, and I am incredibly thankful for the opportunity they provided. This experience was not only an academic and professional milestone but also a personal journey of growth that I will always cherish.

My experience at the New York MUN was truly incredible. The training sessions in the months leading up to the event were extremely valuable, providing essential insights enhanced my ability to engage in the simulation. A huge thank you to Roberta and Angelo for their dedication and support, which made a real difference in my preparation.

The organization of the event was amazing since it ensured an immersive experience. I was particularly impressed by the opening and closing ceremonies, which set the tone for a high-level debate. The presence of distinguished guests at the opening ceremony was inspiring, as they shared their perspectives on the importance of international cooperation.

This experience not only allowed me to delve into the world of diplomacy but also gave me the chance to explore New York, making it even more unforgettable. A special thanks to ELSA for introducing me to this incredible opportunity—without it, I would not have had the chance to participate and grow both academically and personally.

It was a wonderful, fun and engaging experience. You make lots of friends and you create a wonderful relationship with the companions, which lasts even after the end of the trip. I also had the opportunity to discuss important issues on a global level, comparing myself with kids from other nations. Definitely
to do again!!

I’ve just concluded an incredible experience at CWMUN in New York, where I had the opportunity to represent Japan in the General Assembly Sixth Committee focusing on debating Peacekeeping Mandates to Address Evolving Threats.

During the simulation, we tackled complex global challenges, discussing and negotiating solutions for international security in the context of increasingly evolving threats.

Thanks to all the organizers and all the delegates I had the privilege of collaborating with.
A special thanks to Angelo Coroneo, our dais chair, for making our sessions even more engaging and to the support of Giada Ferraro and Alice Corbino.

The idea of giving teenagers and students the opportunity to have a schooling like this is really amazing. Still, there are a lot of things that showed us that it wasn’t about learning and changing the world, it was just about getting money.
You get a 1000€ scholarship for basically nothing. Every student got that scholarship, thinking it is something special when in reality it’s just a marketing strategy.
The experience all in all is very expensive. We payed about 2000 dollars and for what? For a hotel room which is designed for two people, but there are four people staying in it. That means you have to share a bed with a stranger and you don’t have the opportunity to decide with whom you want to stay. Also, there was no breakfast included or anything in that factor. Plus, you had to pay the flight yourself and the visa, which can cost almost 200 dollars.
A lot of people had to pay money, just to get their visa denied. If you didn’t pay the 300 dollar money-back fee, you didn’t get the money back in case you cannot come.

But most important thing is that, if you’re not Italian, you will be treated completely different by the staff and in general. The Italian students got extra packages and privileges in every way. (Like higher scholarships and enjoy package)
You get reached about integrity and respect but if you’re not Italian, you won’t get included. The ceremonies only have Italian people holding a speach, sometimes even in Italian. Spoiler alart; not anyone can speak Italian and the translator was really really bad.
Half of the students there are from Italy, all the staff members and just everything is somehow related to it.
We know and understand that Assozione Diplomatici IS an Italian Organisation but it is really messed up that you are getting treated differently because you’re from any other country. Don’t talk about inclusion , if you don’t include us.

Another thing…
The ball in the end. Every student had a ball on their schedule as an ending for the conferences. A really good idea, but you still had to pay 20$ for it.
Just to… don’t get in a all. If you put the ball on everybody’s schedule, you should ensure that everybody can get in. We went there just to find out that there were no tickets left for us.
We had a right to go to that ball but we couldn’t because our teachers made some mistakes and didn’t bought the tickets for us in the first place. Not fair. Not fair to anyone.
And instead of getting a sincere apology, we got a temperamental discussion. There was no compassion about them messing up, but searching the mistake in us. But you know what? You’re not supposed to be talking like that to CHILDREN.
I am glad that there was another woman, formally and empathically apologizing because otherwise we would’ve been really, really mad.

I hope you take this message by heart.
Thank you still for the experience.

I’ve met amazing people there, the conferences were pretty good too, but they have some really serious issues with organizing. First, they’re promoting equality, diplomacy, diversity etc., while if you’re not italian, you cannot acces many things that they can. Also, you don’t get any event where you can meet everybody, so if you don’t like your roomies you’re screwed. Also, most of the staff is really mean. They have this event called the bal at the last day, yeah well they have LIMITED spaces for that, and they don’t mention it anywhere. Some tutors buy it for their students (mostly for the italians), but I can name 3 groups whose tutors didn’t (out of 8 maybe). We got there, wanted to buy tickets, and they told us that they were sold out and the place is packed. (Most of the students were just standing outside lol). We complained about the lack of information they gave us, and the CHIEF of dias was upset with us, that it’s our fault, and was disrespectful about it. For the money you pay (i say it as an international student, don’t know how much italians pay), we don’t get breakfast, our room is not even worth that price. Also, the merit grand is a scam, everybody gets it:)) wouldn’t recommend, you basically don’t know what you’re paying for. Please don’t promote diversity when you’re discriminating people, diplomacy when even your chief of dias can’t admit that she’s wrong, and don’t flex with how many students you have when you don’t have enough space for them!

Worst organization! There are taxes you don't know about until few days before going. Taxes that they say are bigger but in reality they should be lower but it's not mentioned. You don't know where you'll be staying in NY because they tell you a hotel name but in the end is not that. You don't know who you're staying with because they say you'll stay the same gender in the room, but is not always the case so you can end up with someone you're not comfortable with and it's even worse because they told you to email the people who chose to stay in the same room and when you get there you find out the email was useless because it doesn't matter.
Liars

There’s too many problems with this conference, so I’ll make a numbered list
1. At the actual conference, they put us in a cinema. No notebooks, no pens, nothing. How are we supposed to give notes to the Dias when we are not given anything to give notes with?
2. The Dais and the directors are on completely different pages. They can’t coordinate and cause a lot of confusion. Even during the opening ceremony, they ran through the allotted time and almost got us late for the actual conference
3. During the actual conference, our chair was biased towards Israel. During the voting, we counted the votes and it was at least close / a win for our resolution (which including a permanent ceasefire in Gaza). We asked for a motion to divide the house, but they just looked around in confusion (even though this is a pretty commonly known United Nations procedure that is adopted by most Model United Nations). Additionally, after one delegate started talking about Gaza, the lady stopped looking at her and would not select her for more questions. Usually, they picked native Italians and barely gave the mic to varying nations.
4. The chair takes this conference far too seriously and tries to guide it in ways they want. They tell us “someone should propose a motion for X” and then reject people who propose other motions. What is the point of a conference if you’re going to dictate how it runs? Purely illogical.
5. Most of the awards seem like they were randomly given. One delegate who won an award did not speak at all and was a minor part of lobbying and merging; I don’t care about not winning an award, but there were more deserving my people who deserved to win such awards.
6. The conference structure is flawed; there is no debate since the chair refuses most point of replies since it will “cause a debate”. This would be understandable in real life, but it’s a model United Nations. It’s about being able to debate and stand up for your nations foreign policy. So why is this conference discouraging such debate?

Overall, this conference is poorly run and the only good part about it is the city it is in. Politically biased chairs as well as horrible communication makes this conference below par.

I had an amazing experience at the CWMUN conference and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in Model United Nations events. Here’s what I liked and a couple of areas where I think it could be improved:

What I liked:
- Accommodation in Paris: The accommodation provided was fantastic. It was well-located and comfortable, making it easy to stay focused and enjoy the experience.
- Organization: The entire event was very well organized. Everything from the registration to the sessions ran smoothly, which allowed all participants to focus on the event itself without worrying about logistics.
- Pre-event Information: The website provided plenty of helpful information before the event started. It was easy to access important details and prepare thoroughly for the conference.

What I did not like:
- Time for Delegations: I believe delegations should have had more time to write their working papers. This would have allowed for more in-depth preparation and a better final result.
- Staying in Character: It could be emphasized more strongly how important it is to stay in character throughout the event. This is a key part of MUN, and better guidance on this would ensure a more authentic and productive conference for everyone involved.

Overall, my experience at CWMUN was incredibly rewarding, and I truly appreciate the hard work and dedication of every member of the CWMUN team.

I loved this experience! One of the best experiences! I went to Change The World MUN in Brussels and everything was so professional. From workshops, visiting official institutions to chairboard, organizing staff… would always do this again! All the amazing people I’ve met just made my life richer!
