Dear delegates, staff and partners,

 

I am very pleased to be able to welcome you to this year’s iteration of Vanier College’s Model United Nations conference, VCMUN 2027. My name is Luca Di Fiore and it is my honour to serve as the Secretary-General of VCMUN. On behalf of the entire Secretariat, I would like to thank everyone that has contributed to the planning and development of this conference, whether they are a staff member that has carried out tasks during and between committees, a delegate that has chosen to spend their weekend at Vanier College, or a partner that has supported the visions of this team, we are truly grateful for all that you’ve done to help make this conference possible. 

 

In this iteration of VCMUN, we will be exploring the concept of development, through our captivating committees. This encompasses the development of alliances and compromises through important negotiations, in our GAs and SAs, as well as the personal development of delegates as they engage in creative and insightful debate, in our Crisis committees. This conference will provide delegates with many opportunities to understand how development is present in our everyday experiences, and I look forward to seeing how the concept is addressed throughout the weekend. 

 

The Secretariat is committed to ensuring that this conference will be a fun, equitable and thought-provoking experience for all delegates and staffers in attendance. We look forward to seeing the future leaders of our global society take the stage at this conference, and make their voices heard in the name of development and of meaningful change. 

 

Looking forward to seeing you all at VCMUN 2027,
