From the Secretariat
It is with great pride that we once again welcome esteemed delegates to The British School of Amsterdam for our 5th annual Model United Nations conference. We have chosen this year’s theme to be ‘Paving the Way for Future Generations’. We believe that this focus will give delegates the opportunity to work towards crafting sustainable, long-term solutions to combat increasing geopolitical tension and climate change. Solutions that will, despite the challenges we face, ensure our world will not only survive, but thrive for generations to come.
Maxim Telegin and Ella Bruggink,
