"“Impact” is our theme this year. The United Nations and its people work every day to impact our world. The ongoing debate to set the post-2015 Development Agenda is a concrete example of the breadth of this action. Through the wide range of topics that our dedicated staff has prepared for you this year, you will have the chance to reflect upon this agenda during your committee sessions. The goal of NMUN is also that we become more conscious of the people and the world around us; that we understand the problems of today and the solutions for tomorrow; and that we measure the impact we can have on our world. This year’s theme seeks to convey the idea that we will each have our own impact, and at NMUN we learn that it can be lasting and positive for the world.
As we gather here this week, we embrace the diversity of opinions represented in the United Nations, the freedom to express them, share them, and confront them in this global forum. This week, you will not only be exposed to this process, you will be a part of it. And it will impact your life." Théo Thieffry Conference Secretary-General |
