About

Seek Diplomacy

Union & Peace is a Model United Nations conference that takes place every year at the John F. Kennedy School in Queretaro, Mexico. The simulation is an event organized entirely by high school students (grades 6–12), in which participants have the opportunity to face the challenges and responsibilities that come with holding leadership positions. The purpose of this experience is to develop each individual’s skills and talents so that they may become future leaders of the world. All students involved in this conference acquire knowledge and skills in areas such as research, writing, public speaking, debate, and teamwork, among others.

The main objective of this conference is to bring together young people from around the world as the future leaders of our society, with a particular focus on youth in Mexico, in order to find new and creative solutions to the problems facing the world today.
