Hello, my name is Mira Hamita! As someone who is directly and currently working with members of the IDEAS Globally organization, it goes without saying that I have vested interest in this society.
I believe that this society has a lot of potential to grow given its' aims to create socially impactful actions and consider viable solutions to global issues. However, there is much needed improvement to the day-to-day running of this society, of which I have several ideas to implement, outlined in the list below:
- To have speaker events in which we invite people who are directly involved in up-and-coming social enterprises, NGOs and etc, to discuss their experience and allow our members to network with.
- Include more socials where we will do things outside of UCL as opposed to only hosting events on campus i.e. dinner, mini golf/bowling, etc.
- Have consistent weekly sessions in order to increase engagement which includes activities beyond only discussing documentaries. I advocate for workshops as well as collaborative events with other societies.
I also have experience in being part of a committee of another society (MUN) within UCL as well as being part of student council throughout high school, which I believe is fundamental for this role. The fact that I am active in several societies would also prove vital for my third point on the list, where I can utilize the wide network at my disposal for the benefit of IDEAS Globally society.

Growing up in a developing country and emerging economy, I have developed a passion for international development and building social enterprises to empower people who deserve equal success and the same level of human development and well-being as their Western counterparts. Currently serving as Vice President, I have overseen and organized several events held by the society to promote our ideals and bring our members together in a friendly and welcoming environment.
I would like to nominate myself as President of the IDEA Society because I am confident that my professional background in international relations and my prior experience as a committee member would contribute to the growth of the society and provide great experiences for its members.
Furthermore, because I am committed to providing the best experiences and activities to our members, I believe that I would be able to lead my committee and society members in advancing the mission. I promise that if I was elected as the President, I would fully commit to providing quality activities that would better educate society members and the university about international development as well as social enterprises, and I will also engage in outreach and inclusion efforts in order to build a larger platform for those fervent about our ideals.
