It is with my utmost pleasure to invite you to the 7th edition of Jasienica Model United Nations — JASMUN. Serving as this year's Secretary General I am honoured to welcome those who will join us for the first time, and those who already experienced JASMUN during previous editions.
In 2026, our guiding topic is "The Rise of Emerging Global Powers". We believe that the ongoing shifts of power are one of the most significant and influential processes shaping the current geopolitical situation in the world. For many years, it was only a few nations that guided international politics. However, as new actors begin to rise and bring their own views and perspectives to the global stage, the past order is being slowly dismantled. These shifts carry great hope for a more balanced and inclusive political state of the world. Simultaneously, they remind us that with newly born influence comes also great responsibility. It is in such circumstances that the spirit of diplomacy, which we aim to continuously cultivate at JASMUN, truly matters.
For several years now JASMUN has borne the motto of the European Union — In Varietate Concordia — as our guiding principle. Translated from Latin, it means "united in diversity". With each forthcoming edition of our conference this statement only continues to grow in relevance. Every nation, culture or ethnicity brings a unique perspective to the discussion table. Without this diversity, diplomacy would have no meaning. In a world which changes so rapidly, we must look past the differences that separate us and instead focus on a shared future we can build in cooperation. True unity doesn't require perfectly aligned views, but rather respect and an eagerness to search for common ground. We hope to further foster this spirit of unity this very September at JASMUN.
During the four days of JASMUN, delegates will have a chance to debate across various committees on a variety of topics. Together, they will write resolutions aimed at solving problems of the current world. It is an amazing opportunity to develop critical thinking, diplomacy and public speaking skills. However, JASMUN is far more than the official aspect on its own. It is also the people you meet, the friendships you build and the conversations over coffee breaks that truly shape the experience.
Our team has been working with great dedication to prepare a conference worthy of your time and effort, and we cannot wait to welcome you. Whether you come representing a global superpower or a small island state, your voice matters and your contribution will shape the outcome of our debates.
On behalf of the entire JASMUN team, I sincerely invite you to join us for what promises to be an unforgettable edition of our conference.
