Esteemed Delegates, Presidents, Teachers and Sponsors,

​

We are pleased to invite you to the 22nd version of Colegio Colombo Británico’s Model United Nations conference in Cali. CCBMUN XXII will take place from Wednesday 4th to Friday 6th December 2024 at the ICESI University, Cali.  The simulation will take place at Colegio Colombo Británico on Friday, 15th November 2024.​​

​

There will be a simulation for all Middle School committees and for the Security Council.  Delegates from other Mixed School committees who wish to practise before the model will have a choice of three committees in the simulation - Human Rights, Crime or Technology. Students will be assigned to one of these committees according to their preferences and to the availability of delegations.  They may be given a different country to the one that they will represent in the model itself, depending on which students decide to attend the simulation. 

 

We continue the tradition of being the only model in Colombia that is carried out entirely in English, giving students an opportunity to practise their debating skills in a dynamic and challenging environment, and preparing them for future work at an international level. This year, we are once again happy to announce that the conference will take place at the prestigious ICESI University.  

​

CCBMUNXXI is composed of a stellar group of people who have given their all for the success of this model. This year’s secretariat consists of: David Naranjo as Secretary General; Isabella Gallego as Academic Coordinator; Benjamin Quintero as Academic Advisor; María Juliana Ramírez as Under-Secretary General; and Felicity Bedford as Faculty Advisor. 

​

The last few decades have seen many changes both positive and negative in our world, and the future can often seem difficult and challenging, or even alarming, for young people today. At Colegio Colombo Británico we believe that it is important to form students who do not give up easily in the face of uncertainty, but rather face all challenges with a positive outlook in the knowledge that, by working together, we can build a better future. For this reason, our theme this year is “perseverance” as we know that only by working hard and staying true to our goals will we be able to make positive changes in the world. Through our model, we hope that students will be able to work together to both understand different viewpoints about world issues and to find ways to work in unison in order to improve our society.​​

​

We hope that in the three days of CCBMUN, you will profoundly understand the meaning of “perseverance” and practise it during this experience and beyond. We hope that you work alongside your peers in building solutions through the combined effects of your dialogue and research. We hope that you will walk out of the closing ceremony on the last day with a feeling that your separate efforts  have truly helped to  construct a brighter future for yourself, the model, and hopefully, the entire global community. 

​

We look forward to seeing your perseverance at CCBMUN XXII!

​

Respectfully,

​

The Secretariat
