The Colegio Colombo Británico Model United Nations, commonly known as CCBMUN, is one of the most academically prestigious activities held annually in the city of Cali, Colombia. It is nationally recognized for its academic level by various schools in the country. Furthermore, it is the only Model United Nations in Colombia held entirely in English, making it an excellent opportunity of complete im
mersion during a four-day time lapse in which students practice both orally and written such an important language. CCBMUN is an activity organized almost entirely by students, with help from our faculty advisor. This has proven to be an effective system which does not only involve students, but it enhances their learning process by forming them as leaders within the community. We count with over ten years of experience in the realization of CCBMUN, ensuring that our models are indeed one of a kind. When we started the planning stage of CCBMUN XI, there was something clear: we needed a fresh start. Built upon the experience of over ten years in MUN’s, this model will be a new approach toward the Colegio Colombo Británico Model United Nations. As for its eleventh version, we were sure there was something still missing. And although previous CCBMUN’s have been unforgettable and exceptionally conceived, there was always and absence something that kept the model from showing its full potential. With CCBMUN XI we want to make sure we fulfil our task of making CCBMUN the model to beat. Therefore we knew we needed, in order to ensure nothing was left behind, a series of changes that will best suit our vision of what CCBMUN XI should be like. To accomplish this, we are introducing a fourth day into our agenda, to make sure absolutely everything that needs to be done, gets done; and in a proactive, balanced, and rigorous way.
