Vancouver Youth Model United Nations

Dear prospective delegates, faculty advisors, and parents,

 

Welcome to the 19th iteration of the Vancouver Youth Model United Nations.

 

My name is Kevin George, and on behalf of the entire Secretariat team and West Point Grey Academy, I would like to extend a warm invitation to VYMUN 2024, to be held from October 25th to 27th. Continuing our tremendous success last year, the conference will be held at the University of British Columbia's Robert H. Lee Alumni Centre.

Each year, VYMUN strives to provide a platform for youth to investigate critical international issues, whether they are social, political, or economic in nature. As new issues arise year after year, it is increasingly important that youth develop the skills necessary to interpret, analyze, and debate what lies ahead. Given that VYMUN is many delegates’ first introduction to MUN, our mission is to ease students into the world of diplomacy, politics, and international relations one delegate at a time. Over the course of the conference, we hope to provide a memorable experience by allowing delegates to engage in rigorous debate, compromise to create comprehensive solutions and tackle some of the greatest crises facing the world.

Over the past few months, our Staff and Secretariat teams have been dedicated to preparing this conference, and we are beyond excited to share this unforgettable experience. We sincerely hope that each of you, as teachers and parents, will support your students or children to join us at VYMUN 2024. Please do not hesitate to contact me at sg@vymun.org if you have any questions or concerns.

I look forward to meeting you all in October.

Sincerely,

​​
