NMUN • Spain

Imagine yourself in the cosmopolitan city of Barcelona with it's unique blend of Gothic and Modern architecture. There are so many architectural wonders that UNESCO has named Barcelona the World Capital of Architecture for 2026. NMUN • Spain will be a unique educational opportunity for college and university students from all over the world. Our simulation of the United Nations will address pressing global issues. You'll learn about the challenges facing humanity and develop the skills you need to make a difference. Outside of committee sessions, we plan to conduct study tours to Park Güell, the Gothic Quarter, La Rambla, and Basílica de la Sagrada Família. In your free time we encourage you to venture out on your own to experience some of the Works of Antoni Gaudí – recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

We are excited to partner with La Salle, Universitat Ramon Llull for this conference.

She is currently studying Politics, Philosophy, and Economics at La Salle Universitat Ramon Llull in Barcelona, where she has built her path at the intersection of service, leadership, and conviction. Inspired from a young age by humanitarian work and by the desire to improve the lives of others, she has remained deeply committed to service through both volunteering and student leadership. Her connection to Model United Nations began in third grade, and over the years she has served as delegate, chair, and Deputy Secretary-General, experiences that shaped much of her intellectual, personal, and leadership development, teaching her early that institutions matter, but the people who shape them matter more. Today, she also serves as class delegate, Head Delegate for her university’s National Model United Nations course, and President and co-founder of a student association dedicated to dialogue, intellectual exchange, and the building of a thoughtful community.
