Dear Delegates,
My name is Chloe Cantú, and I am glad to welcome you to the UNESCO committee at CancunMUN 2026. I am a 15 year old 10th grade student, and outside of school I love horseback riding, playing volleyball, and spending quality time with my friends and family, which keeps me active and motivated.
In the future, I plan to study business administration. I am very interested in leadership, teamwork, and how good management can help create organized and successful communities. Even though I have only participated in one Model United Nations conference, CancunMUN, that experience encouraged me to continue developing my skills in MUN and to attend more conferences. UNESCO is dedicated to strengthening international cooperation through education, science, and culture, which are fundamental for building peaceful and inclusive societies. I believe this committee will be an excellent opportunity for discussion, cooperation, and learning from one another.
I expect every delegate to show respect, responsibility, and preparation throughout the conference. I encourage you to research beyond the background guide so you can share strong, well informed ideas during our sessions. I am sure this will be a meaningful and enjoyable experience for everyone. I wish you the best of luck and I am excited to work with you at CancunMUN 2026.

Dear Delegates,
​
My name is Alexandra Ortega, and it is a pleasure to welcome you to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) committee at CancunMUN 2026. I am currently a 10th-grade student at IAS, and outside of school I enjoy playing golf, going to the gym, running, and spending time with my friends, activities that help me stay active and balanced.
Looking ahead, I plan to study Law, as I aspire to become a judge. I am strongly interested in justice, leadership, and the role of legal systems in building fair societies. Although I have only participated in one Model United Nations conference so far, CancunMUN, this experience has motivated me to continue growing within the MUN community, and I am eager to find and attend more conferences in the future. UNESCO focuses on promoting international cooperation through education, science, and culture key areas for the development of peaceful and inclusive societies. I believe this committee offers an excellent opportunity for thoughtful debate, collaboration, and learning.
I expect all delegates to be respectful, responsible, and well-prepared throughout the conference. I strongly encourage you to research beyond the background guide in order to contribute meaningful and well-supported ideas during committee sessions.
