Letter from Secretary General
Dear faculty advisors, staff members, and fellow delegates,
​
My name is Valentina Guinassi and in this edition of CarMUN I'm excited to say that I will be this year’s Secretary General. To be part of the team and contribute to what has been cultivated over the years is both an honor and a responsibility. CarMUN has long stood as a platform for personal and collective growth and diplomatic exchange. It continues to embody the values of leadership, commitment, and collaboration that I deeply admire and aspire to uphold.
In 2022, my best friend encouraged me to participate in Model United Nations (MUN), but I was initially hesitant to engage in debate and explore new opportunities due to my fear of getting out of my comfort zone. However, in 2023, my best friend joined, and I also decided to do so.
​

At first, I was apprehensive about speaking or being seen to be actively participating, but after my first MUN, I realized that it was a place where I felt empowered. The opportunity to meet new people, learn about different matters and experience the unknown was a highly motivating factor. In 2025, I was fortunate enough to attend Harvard. Despite not achieving the expected results, I gained valuable insights and experiences thanks to the support of the delegation, faculties, and coaches. I came to realize that it was an unforgettable experience, and I have no regrets about participating.
After a prolonged period of personal growth and development along these years in this activity, I have come to recognise and appreciate the positive changes that have taken place. Among them, a more genuine way of connecting with others, and a more thoughtful understanding of who I am and who I wish to become. This inner journey, has reaffirmed the importance of essential human values, like empathy, integrity, responsibility and respect, which in recent years, seem to been forgotten or challenged in many aspects.
And it is precisely with this in mind that this year, we have chosen “Rebuilding a World of Values” as our central theme. Our mission is to inspire delegates not only to win awards or engage themselves in critical discussions, but to renew its commitment to the principles that form the foundation of a just, loving, and respectful society.
Meet the Team
CarMUN 2025 is only possible thanks to the joint efforts of our team. Behind this year's conference are current students, advisors and former members from the school's delegation without whom none of this would be a reality.
