Name: Yoomin Lee

Country: Korea

Yoomin is a girl with big dreams and the belief that she has to be a true changemaker to make the world a better place where people are filled with more rights, opportunities, and freedoms that she has been lucky to have known by birth. As a student who currently majors in International Studies in Korea, Yoomin has noticed that a lot of global issues must be discussed and solved. Rather than thinking with grand conception, she truly believes the power of “small steps from me”.

Yoomin remains interested in the world’s environment issues, and joined the Korean National Committee for United Nations Environment Programme’s North East Asia Youth Environment Network (TUNZA-NEAYEN), implementing several projects a year. Yoomin was selected as a Korean National Youth Advisor, representing her country in the East Asian Seas Congress 2012 in July, and further discussed the blue economy. Yoomin now shares her ideas through her writing and has worked as an editor of UNEP TUNZA- NEAYEN magazine, and as an international reporter in the Seoul Youth Center for Cultural Exchange, covering various international events. Her volunteer work for the Seoul Nuclear Security Summit in March 2012, and as a Delegation Assistance Liaison(DAL) of Special Olympics Team Ireland for 2013 PyeongChang Special Olympics made Yoomin realize that she has to work harder to make a world without discriminations.

Being a representative of her own country, the Republic of Korea, and volunteering in various works, Yoomin faced a lot of difficulties. But looking back, these obstacles were the real and core factors that made her stand stronger and cement her obligation to use her skills and utilize her talents to make a difference not only in her society but also globally.
