Geraldine Aceves
Chair
Welcome Delegates,
My name is Geraldine Aceves, and I am delighted to be one of your Chairs in the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Committee (UNESCO) for the 22nd CancunMUN conference! I am 16 years old and currently a junior at the International American School of Cancun. In my free time, I enjoy watching movies and series, going to the gym and hanging out with my friends. Once I graduate, I haven't really decided what I am going to study, but I would like to do something related to business and law.
This will be my seventh MUN experience. I have been a delegate in CancunMUN twice, once in UNDP and the other in UNHRC. I have also had the opportunity to be a delegate two times in PlayaMUN, one in LaSalleMUN and one time in New York at CMUNCE. I am thrilled to take part in UNESCO, which deals with building international peace and cooperation in the areas of education, the sciences and culture. I believe it is crucial to address these problems that mark who we are as people.
Once again I am eager to be your Chair in UNESCO, and really looking forward to working with all of you! I expect my delegates to be respectful and well-mannered, as well as to be prepared and ready. Please remember to investigate thoroughly beyond the background guide, as it should not be your only source of research.
I am confident that I will do my possible best to have an incredible committee and make this a great conference for everyone. If you have any doubts, please do not hesitate to contact me at geraldine.aceves@ciac.edu.mx, good luck and see you soon delegates!

Atenea Estulin
Co-Chair
Welcome Delegates,
My name is Atenea Estulin, and I’m beyond excited to be your co-chair for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) for CancunMUN 2025. I’m 17 years old, and a senior at the International American School of Cancun. During my free time, I like to play piano, hang out with loved ones and read. I am passionate about doing acts to help those around me, both in my future career and in real life. Once I graduate, I would either like to study psychology or business.
I’ve been to a few Model United Nations conferences, this one being my 3rd one. The first time I participated in MUN, I was a delegate in the General Assembly in the 11th grade, and at the CMUNCE conference in New York, I was a delegate in the World Health Organization. I am joyful to take part in this committee, given that its mission is to contribute to the building of a culture of peace, the eradication of poverty, sustainable development and intercultural dialogue through education, the sciences, culture, communication and information.
​
As your co-chair for UNESCO, I expect all delegates to be responsible and respectful, and to come prepared with thorough research beyond the background guide. While the guide provides a foundation, it shouldn’t be your only source of information. I encourage you to investigate various perspectives and analyze credible sources to enhance the quality of debate. I look forward to working with each of you and witnessing engaging discussions that lead to meaningful resolutions. The most important thing is that you enjoy your experience! If you have any questions or doubts, please feel free to contact me at atenea.estulin@ciac.edu.mx.
I’m thrilled to be meeting each and every one of you at UNESCO this year. Good luck delegates!
