The WorldMUN Spirit still lives on even with WorldMUN 2012 having been concluded for over a week. Especially due to the fact that the conference ended with such a bang! Immediately after Closing Ceremonies, delegates, staff, and all attendees were ushered just outside of the Vancouver Convention Centre to witness the Olympic Flame being lit. It was a fitting end to the conference, and at the risk of being too clichéd, the symbolism of the lighting of a flame seemed to mirror the mood of the end of the conference. The friendships, the lessons, the WorldMUN Spirit, the entire experience lives on in all of those who participated in Vancouver WorldMUN 2012.

Throughout the past week, I heard a lot about the “WorldMUN spirit” – an ephemeral aura that emanates from delegates and pervades the WorldMUN experience. Having (unfortunately) never been a WorldMUN delegate myself, I have not had the opportunity to experience this spirit. After spending this past week in the new and beautiful Vancouver Convention Center though, surrounded by amazing people from all around the world, I think that I’ve truly gained a sense of this WorldMUN spirit.

WorldMUN Vancouver
As the city that recently hosted the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, Vancouverites like myself are no stranger to welcoming visitors from around the world into our beautiful city. But I’m willing to bet that never before has the city seen such engaged, idealistic, and well-dressed young men and women descend upon it as during the 21st annual World Model United Nations Vancouver 2012 Conference! From March 11-15, delegates will share five days (and nights, reminded Secretary-General Kathleen Tang) debating, writing resolutions, wearing suits, maybe a little partying, and perhaps most importantly, meeting awesome, driven, like-minded people from around the world.
Best Delegate will be hitting the road again this year! We’ll be traveling around the country to teach a series of student workshops and free teacher workshops.
And of course, we’ll also be visiting conferences to liveblog again and interview you guys about all the fun you’re having! We had an amazing time meeting everyone last year and we hope to see more of you on the road. Read below to see which conferences we plan to visit this year!
