ASV Held the Opening Ceremony
This weekend, ASV is hosting the 12th annual edition of Valencia Model United Nations (VALMUN), the school’s Model United Nations Conference. The 2024 edition is gathering more than 270 student-delegates from seven schools from Spain, Luxemburg and Morocco.
The opening ceremony took place on Friday afternoon and as it is tradition, featured a keynote speaker -Mr. Leon Mathieson, UNGSC Information Systems Officer- to talk about the role of the United Nations in today’s world. After Mr. Mathieson, the Grade 12 student Timothy B. (VALMUN’s Secretary General) distributed the gavels among chairs and presidents and formally opened the conference.
Today, VALMUN committees will debate two topics in morning and afternoon sessions. During the conference, each delegate represents a given country that must negotiate with other nations a solution for a global problem. These debates and resolution processes follow the same procedures used in the UN and the discussion encourages the use of critical thinking and communication skills.
