Dear Directors, Student Officers, Advisors, Admin, and Delegates of the X Zygmunt Model UN Conference,
Welcome to the 10th annual ZYGMUN conference. It is an honor to serve as your Secretary General for ZYGMUN X.
This year’s debates will center around the theme of “strengthening global collaboration in the pursuit of sustainable communities”. Encapsulating UN Sustainable Development Goals 11 and 17, ZYGMUN X strives to highlight these goals’ interdependence through dialogue. As delegates mirror diplomatic principles and reflect on nations' policies, ZYGMUN highlights the importance of international organizations being enablers of true change, specifically in the communities and societies that depend upon them. Humanity's reliance on safe living territories needs to be synonymous with sustainable environments, especially when environmental and political discrepancies become increasingly pressing. It is essential to strengthen partnerships to be able to foster viable habitats and enrich environments to be able to support collaboration. Each of these scenarios is distinct and requires attention in our world today. Understanding each community's needs is what our conference aims to emphasize in their respective committees—working towards our collective needs of sustainable and safe living for every individual in every ecosystem, while ensuring partnership for all UN Sustainable Development goals.
With my 5 years of MUN experience with over 9 conferences completed, I have been a delegate, admin, chair, president three times on the secretariat team as the Head of Administration and Deputy Secretary General before my Secretary General position in 2027.
A little bit about me, I am a senior at ASW, where I have lived for 10 years now, but I am originally from Bratislava, Slovakia. When I am not busy with school work, I love to watch and make movies, play tennis, go to dinners with friends, and obviously, point out personal pronouns in delegates’ speeches.
I look forward to working with you all in your committee sessions, with delegates, chairs, and guests.

Dear Directors, Honorable Student Officers, Distinguished Delegates, Administrators, and Guests,
I am thrilled that ZYGMUN will return for its tenth iteration in March! This year, I am honored and deeply grateful to serve as one of your two Deputy Secretary-Generals, and together with the Secretariat as a whole, I will be hard at work, aiming to make X ZYGMUN a top-notch conference that is high in quality, rich in experiences, and full of international delegates. Guided by UN Sustainable Development Goals 11 and 17, which call for sustainable cities and communities, as well as partnership for the goals, this year’s conference theme is Strengthening Global Collaboration in the Pursuit of Sustainable Communities. With regards to this conference theme, I look forward to the debates across all committees—after all, discussing the way in which we envision communities for future generations and the way we use resources is fundamental in shaping our future.
I am from Germany and have lived in France, Ukraine, Germany, the U.S., and Poland, which has exposed me to a wide array of social, economic, and political landscapes. And yet, these experiences have taught me this more than anything: When united behind a common goal, there is nothing we cannot achieve, which is precisely the point of Model UN conferences. Beyond politics and international relations, I am passionate about cars, American football, and traveling.
I can’t wait for X ZYGMUN, and I hope that it’ll be an enriching endeavor for all of you, whether it be socially, academically, or linguistically. One thing is for sure: We will welcome you all with open arms into the incredibly friendly and passionate community that we call ZYGMUN.
See you in March!

Dear All,
Welcome to ZYGMUN 2027. Strengthening global collaboration in the pursuit of sustainable communities leads to the realization that, despite the advances of our time, we often turn a blind eye when our neighbors need help. We must seek common ground in order to strengthen collaboration so that together we create sustainable communities.
I have been part of MUN for 4 years. I joined in 7th grade and have attended 5 conferences as a delegate.
Outside of MUN, I enjoy reading, baking, ballet, and softball. I also enjoy activism and protesting, as well as petition writing. I am 15 years old and have lived in 6 countries: India, the United States of America, Serbia, Kyrgyzstan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and now Poland. That being said, I am an American citizen but have both Ukrainian and Croatian roots that are prominent in my life.
I look forward to meeting everyone at ZYGMUN and look forward to a productive conference.
Best,
Maria Susak

President of the General Assembly
Dear Directors, Student Officers, Administrators, and Delegates of the ZYGMUN X Conference,
This year, the American School of Warsaw will be hosting the tenth annual ZYGMUN Model United Nations conference. I am incredibly honored and proud to be serving once more as the President of the General Assembly of the conference.
I am a 12th-grade student at the American School of Warsaw, and this will be my third year at ASW. I am half French, half from the US, and have previously lived in countries like Kosovo, Turkey, the DRC, and Kenya. This will be my fifth year of MUN, and I have attended numerous conferences over the span of those years, and served as Deputy Secretary General of ILGMUN and President of the General Assembly at ZYGMUN IX. My favorite parts about MUN are the travelling, the connections, and all of the people that you meet and form relationships with.
This year's conference theme is very special, combining the Sustainable Development Goals of 11 and 17 together to create a conference theme that urges delegates to understand the importance of collaboration in order to push our ever-changing world towards a sustainable future. Collaboration and critical thinking are very important in this topic to further come up with solutions during committee sessions.
I am looking forward to meeting you all at X ZYGMUN!

Dear Directors, Student Officers, Delegates, Admins, and Guests,
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 10th annual ZYGMUN conference hosted at the American School of Warsaw. This year, I will have the honor of serving as the Director of Media and Marketing.
On a personal note, this will be my fourth year participating in MUN. I have previously attended 11 conferences, both as a delegate and student officer. Through MUN, I have had the opportunity to travel to amazing cities such as Milan and Prague and to meet new people who share similar passions. Even though I am from Poland, I have lived in various countries, including the United States, and most recently Serbia. I am currently a 12th-grade student at the American School of Warsaw, in my second year of the IB Diploma Program. Outside of MUN, I also participate in other activities such as football, speech and debate, and knowledge bowl.
This year's conference theme, “strengthening global collaboration in the pursuit of sustainable communities," encompasses two UN sustainable development goals, 11 and 17. In our modern world, we must strive to put aside our differences in order to ensure that future generations will be able to enjoy our world in the same way that we do. This notion is the core of MUN, and I hope that you all keep this in mind during debates.
I am looking forward to meeting you all in March!
Sincerely,
Łucja Perl

Welcome to ZYGMUN X! As your Director of Delegate Affairs, it is my utmost honor to welcome you to this year's conference. My name is Klara, and I am currently an IBDP Year 2 student.
