MUN VC - 2025

Model United Nations of the College of Values and Sciences

The VC MUN (Values and Sciences Model United Nations) is an academic initiative that seeks to develop students who are leaders, critical thinkers, and committed to addressing the challenges of today's world. Inspired by the Model United Nations held globally, our MUN is a space where students take on the role of diplomats, representing countries and debating high-impact international issues. In this 2025 edition, students from different schools will participate in committees that will address real-life issues such as artificial intelligence in armed conflicts, post-pandemic mental health, press freedom, and women's unpaid labor, among others. Through debate, research, and teamwork, the VC MUN is established as a transformative educational experience that promotes global citizenship, a culture of peace, critical thinking, and student leadership.

Objectives of the VC MUN:

Promote reflection on the main global challenges.
Develop communication, negotiation and argumentation skills.

The Colegio Valores y Ciencias thus reaffirms its commitment to an active, globally connected education, where young people not only learn from reality but also become agents of change.

LETTER FROM THE SECRETARY GENERAL

Dear delegates, moderators, and directors, my name is Hilary Luciana Torres Sunción, and as Secretary General, it is an honor for me to warmly welcome you to the 2025 Internal Model United Nations of the Colegio Valores y Ciencias (Values and Sciences College). I have previously had the honor of participating in other MUNs, such as the Padua MUN, where I gained experience as a delegate, and the VC MUN as a moderator. Every debate, every challenge, and every lesson learned have been a fundamental part of my academic and personal development. Beyond the world of MUN, I am passionate about modeling, acting, writing, and practicing karate, a discipline that has taught me resilience, self-control, and respect. This event is an opportunity for us as students to assume the role of leaders, diplomats, and agents of change. Every committee, every debate, and every resolution is the result of commitment, preparation, and the desire to understand and contribute solutions to global challenges. Success in everything, so let's go for that hammer!

LETTER FROM THE UNDER-SECRETARY GENERAL

Dear delegates,

Let me introduce myself. I'm Natalie Espiell, Assistant Secretary of the VC 2025 Internal MUN. The first time I heard about a Model United Nations (MUN), it seemed completely new and unfamiliar to me. I confess I felt a lot of fear and uncertainty, as I had never participated in anything like it before. However, over time I became more familiar with the topic and found it truly incredible, full of learning, debate, and personal growth.

A MUN isn't just about debating. It also allows you to deeply understand a country's customs, connect with people who share our concerns and desire to generate change, and, above all, understand the problems facing different parts of the world.

Finally, dear delegates, I wish you much success in this wonderful experience. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Encourage yourself to participate with enthusiasm, curiosity, and a desire to give your best. I'm sure you'll do amazing, and that this will be an experience you'll always remember.

THE COMMITTEES

VC MUN 2025 was born with the firm purpose of connecting international reality with the critical reflection of young people. For this edition, we have selected six committees that address deeply relevant issues, interconnected by a cross-cutting theme: the challenges of a changing world and the role of youth in its reconstruction.

Technology and contemporary conflicts
- Security Council: Militarization of Artificial Intelligence
  The emergence of disruptive technologies is redefining forms of power and raising new ethical and geopolitical dilemmas. This committee invites reflection on the responsible use of artificial intelligence in international security contexts.
Human rights, well-being and equity
- ECOSOC: Access to health and wellness programs
- UN Women: Women's unpaid work and its consequences
- OMS: Mental health post COVID-19
  Comprehensive healthcare, recognition of unpaid care, and access to decent services are fundamental pillars for achieving more just and resilient societies. These committees address the social challenges that persist, especially in the wake of the pandemic.
Freedom, development and sustainability
- UNESCO: Freedom of the press
- UNTACD: Exploitation in the textile and technology industry
  From the right to information to global production chains, students will analyze how economic and cultural rights are being threatened in the name of development, and what actions can be taken to balance progress with human dignity.
