Dear friends, colleagues, MUN-addicts,
It is my greatest pleasure to warmly welcome you to the fifth edition of MUNUSAL – Model United Nations University of Salamanca – which once again will be held in March 2012 in the beautiful city of Salamanca in Spain.
MUNUSAL has gained an outstanding reputation – professional and social - throughout the last years and will once again be a success in 2012. I feel humbled to part of this project and strongly encourage all of you present and potential future MUNers to join us once again for a great experience.
The University of Salamanca is the oldest founded in Spain and one of the oldest universities in Europe. It is situated within a city, whose history goes back to ancient times even before the Roman empire. In this city of history and knowledge we will assemble to discuss challenges and problems the world is facing at the moment and try to find solutions for a better future. Negotiations will take place within the realm of international frameworks as the United Nations, the European Union and the Iberoamerican Summit, but the goal must be to come up with concrete and creative resolutions to make this planet – our planet – worth living for everyone.
MUNUSAL offers you the opportunity to dive deep into the world of Diplomacy, bi- and multilateral negotiations, as well as supranational policies. We ask you to open your minds and embrace this amazing chance and become a diplomat or a journalist yourself and to take a stance. It is your challenge to come together as diplomats, representing a country, and learning that you are able to defend a position, that most likely will not be in line with your personal opinion or maybe even your values. It will give you the opportunity to learn many new things about World Politics and about yourself.
You will discover that Diplomacy and High Politics can be a lot of fun and that the social events will give you even more chances to meet new people. It is an opportunity to get to know young people from all over the world – who might seem different at first – and to forget about your prejudices. You will debate, you will have fun and make new connections and you will gain memories and friends for a lifetime.
Looking forward to meet you in Salamanca! Vámonos!
Johannes Osterkamp
Secretary-General MUNUSAL 2012
