Dear Esteemed Participants,

​

It is with great honor and sincere excitement that I welcome you to ATAMUN’26.

My name is Sinem Lekesiz, and I am truly honored to serve as the Secretary-General of ATAMUN’26. On behalf of the entire Secretariat Team, I would like to express our deepest pleasure in welcoming each and every one of you to this conference. Your willingness to participate in ATAMUN’26 reflects your commitment to global awareness, diplomacy, and academic excellence.

 

Model United Nations is not merely a simulation of international relations; it is a unique educational experience that empowers young individuals to think critically, communicate effectively, and collaborate respectfully. Throughout this conference, delegates will have the opportunity to analyze complex global issues, defend their countries’ policies, and work together to develop realistic, creative, and sustainable solutions.

 

At ATAMUN’26, our primary goal is to provide an environment that balances academic rigor with inspiration. Our carefully selected committee topics are designed to challenge delegates intellectually while encouraging them to explore different perspectives. We strongly believe that respectful debate and constructive dialogue are the foundations of diplomacy, and we hope that every delegate embraces these values during the conference.

 

Behind ATAMUN’26 stands a highly dedicated and passionate team. Our academic staff has worked diligently to prepare comprehensive study guides and engaging agendas, while our organization team has devoted countless hours to ensuring that every detail of the conference meets the highest standards. Their commitment and teamwork have been essential in bringing ATAMUN’26 to life.

 

As you take on the roles of diplomats and decision-makers, I encourage you to step out of your comfort zone. Be confident in expressing your ideas, attentive when listening to others, and open-minded toward differing viewpoints. Remember that leadership is not only about speaking but also about understanding, cooperation, and empathy.

 

Beyond committee sessions, ATAMUN’26 also aims to create a welcoming atmosphere where delegates can form meaningful connections, exchange ideas, and build friendships that extend beyond the conference. We hope that the memories you create here will inspire you throughout your academic and personal journey.

 

I sincerely believe that ATAMUN’26 will be a memorable and enriching experience for all participants. We are truly excited to welcome you and witness your contributions, dedication, and passion throughout the conference.

​

Best regards,

​

Sinem Lekesiz
Secretary General
