PUEBLA AMERICAN SCHOOL MODEL UNITED NATIONS

PASMUN 2025

Welcome

Dear Delegates, Chairs, Advisors, and Visitors,

My name is Alonso Zenteno, and I am honored to serve as the Secretary General of the 2025 Puebla American School Model United Nations (PASMUN). For 40 years, PASMUN has hosted world-class, high school-level discussions, establishing itself as the most prestigious, competitive, and diverse MUN in this city. This conference provides students with a unique opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations about global issues, take responsibility for the world’s challenges, and develop argumentative skills that will serve them throughout their lives.

The 41st edition of PASMUN will be held from January 28 to 30, 2025, at the American School of Puebla. I am committed to providing a safe, engaging, and competitive platform for students to challenge their ideas and refine their debate skills. We will host 15 traditional high school committees, 5 special committees, and 4 junior committees, covering a wide range of topics to ensure that each participant has a space to explore their passions.

On behalf of the High Command and the Secretariat, I hope you will join us for this PASMUN edition, where I look forward to witnessing your passion, insight, and competitive spirit in action. As our slogan affirms, Tomorrow Shines Through, and we aim to develop responsible agents of change who will help shape a better future for our world.
