KCP Students Excel During BAMUN XVIII
BAMUN XVIII is an initiative from Colegio Marymount, where more than 250 students from 12 schools in the region meet to discuss and reflect upon international conflicts and how they affect daily life .
In this version, Bamun’s motto “The power to transcend” tries to encourage participants to cross the established barriers and contribute to the international community by promoting peace and diplomacy.
Through the six Committees, students address issues of great importance such as the war against drug trafficking in Colombia, the situation for women in Asia: a hidden culture of injustice; the global efforts to fight the new era of terrorism or the establishment of Venezuela as a failed state.
Our students did a great job and were awarded the following recognitions:
BEST DELEGATE – DISEC COMMITTEE : ANGELA BAQUERO
BEST DELEGATE – UNDP COMMITTEE : ISABELLA NASSAR
BEST DELEGATE – UNHCT COMMITTEE : ISAAC SALCEDO

Our First Mini Model United Nations (Mini KCPMUN)
KCP is having its first Mini Model United Nations (Mini KCPMUN) Conference, hosted by the KCP MUN Club.
Mini KCPMUN is a two-day conference that will be held today and tomorrow, welcoming students from our Secondary School to partake in an exciting and enlightening experience. Our conference fosters problem-solving skills, allows new students to gain a first taste of organized debate, and provides veteran students the opportunity to hone their debating and public speaking skills. Mini KCPMUN is also a great first conference for Model United Nations teams that are entirely new to this experience.
We are pleased to inform the selection of committees that are being offered this year. We are running specialized committees (such as Congreso) as well as two committee simulations that play a significant role in global politics (such as the Social, Humanitarian, and Cultural Issues committee). These committees encourage all delegates to extensively research and analyze their respective country’s policies and political relations.
We are confident that each of our committees will allow both novice and experienced debaters to put their skills to good use in an accurate simulation of 21st Century international politics.

Holocaust Survivor Talks to KCP Students
Today our Secondary Students had the privilege of listening to Mónica Dawidowicz, a Jewish woman who survived the Holocaust as a young child. She shared her life story, sending a message of hope and empowerment, urging children to be the voice that makes the difference. She invited us all to have a real commitment to our world´s many problems by not remaining passive in the face of injustice and to reflect upon the need to protect one another, starting with small actions like standing up against bullying towards classmates.
After her remarks Mr. Levno, our Secondary Principal, led a very productive activity in which students reflected upon and shared 3 main messages they were taking away from the conference.
We would like to once again express our deepest gratitude to Ms. Dawidowicz for sharing her story and life lessons with our community!
