"More than ever before in human history, we share a common destiny. We can master it only if we face it together. And that, my friends, is why we have the United Nations." |
Letter from the Secretary GeneralsEsteemed Delegates, Advisors and Guests,
As Secretary Generals, it is with great honor that we welcome you to join us at the sixth edition of the Brasília Model United Nations conference. Hosted yearly at the American School of Brasília, the conference will take place from Thursday, October 22 to Saturday, October 24, 2020. Since 2015, BSBMUN has been a fantastic opportunity for students from international and Brazilian schools to come together and actively learn about international relations, practice diplomacy, and discuss pressing global issues in Brazil’s capital. The conference will feature a total of 8 committees, which will range from the Security Council, encharged with ensuring peace and global safety, to diverse Special Committees that have a narrower scope and exceedingly captivating topics, and an exhilarating Crisis Committee. Further, through this year’s theme of “Striving towards good health and well being through cooperation and consciousness”, we hope to bring awareness to the importance of working collaboratively in safeguarding our collective future. The current pandemic has shown the importance of universal collaboration regardless of cultural or ethnic divides, and the shared obligation of being a global citizen unlike ever before. As such, we hope to see students deliberating over tactfully crafted resolutions, and engaged in cordial, yet thrilling debates. Model United Nations is a unique experience that can help us understand the world we live in by compelling delegates, chairs, and advisors to address the very threats that undermine the fabric of our shared society, and address them in creative brilliant ways through formal parliamentary procedure. Not only must delegates develop the diverse skill set - ranging from critical thinking, to effective communication - necessary to contribute to our increasingly interconnected global community, but they must also exhibit empathy on a personal and wide ranging level. It is an opportunity to foster individual and collective growth in a challenging and outstanding environment. Bearing the COVID-19 outbreak in mind, the leadership team understands the uncertainty and apprehension characteristic of the moment we are in today. However, given that schools are reopened in October, the conference will tentatively be held at this date. If you have any inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us at bsbmun@gmail.com. We hope to see you in this year’s conference! All the best, Cecilia Nakao and Matias Meier Secretary Generals, Brasilia Model United Nations 2020 |
