Letter from our Secretary General 

Dear delegates,

Welcome to DAMMUN VIII !! 

This year, we embark on a journey under the theme "Unmasking the Unknown," a theme that resonates deeply with the essence of our shared humanity. Just as a tapestry interlaces countless threads to form a cohesive and beautiful whole, our world is shaped by the diverse cultural traditions that each of us brings to the table.

In a world that is increasingly interconnected, it’s easy to overlook the unique stories and customs that define our identities. This conference is an opportunity to pause and honor the rich cultural tapestries that weave together the fabric of our global community. Each tradition carries its own beauty, wisdom, and history—elements that can enlighten our discussions and inspire our actions.

As we delve into the complexities of international issues, let us remember the profound impact of our collective heritage. By embracing and celebrating our diverse backgrounds, we can foster empathy, understanding, and collaboration. Our differences are not just challenges but sources of strength and insight.

This gathering is more than a platform for debate; it is a celebration of our shared humanity and the stories that connect us. I hope that as you engage with your fellow delegates, you will find moments of connection and inspiration, discovering new ways to weave our individual threads into a unified vision for a better world.

Let us approach this conference with open hearts and a genuine curiosity about each other’s traditions. Together, let’s create a tapestry of understanding and ultimately creating our very own tapestry of tradition.

Best regards,

- Selina Abboud Secretary-General
