ECOSOC

Ximena Gallardo is currently the President Chair for the ECOSOC committee for VALMUN 2025. She is currently a junior at the American School of Valencia, originally born in Toledo, Spain, and has lived in Valencia since the age of three. Her experience in Model United Nations dates back to middle school, when she started her first conference in VALMUN 2021. She has been in 11 different conferences since then: 5 VALMUN’s, 3 MADMUN’s and 3 BCNMUN’s. Through all these conferences she has developed a strong and confident personality for all MUN’s. All conferences have been a way for her to develop critical thinking and an open mind. She brings that passion and background to her role guiding delegates in ECOSOC this year. Ximena is excited to meet all her delegates, she expects to give a great image of what VALMUN is all about and help them with any questions they have.

Brooklyn Carnes is one of the chairs for ECOSOC this year. She was born and raised in Southern California before moving to Valencia right before high school. She's currently in 11th grade, with this experience being her first time chairing. She has participated in two conferences before, as well as one admin experience. She’s enjoyed all of her MUN experiences and regrets not participating more when she could.

Through MUN, Brooklyn has gained more confidence, skill, and knowledge related to public speaking, debate, and current world events. For her, it’s a great reminder of all the things she can accomplish when she puts her mind to it. Moving forward, she hopes to gain more experience in leadership positions at ASV, both in and out of MUN, and to apply the skills she has learned to her life after school. Brooklyn can’t wait to meet her committee this year and hopes that the conference will inspire her as much as the ones she participated in in the past.

Jorge Martorell is a chair from ecosoc. Currently he is a sophomore in ASV.  He was born in Valencia and has lived in Valencia his whole life. He started MUN experiences in 7th grade, in total he did 5 MUN experiences, 3 VALMUN and 2 MADMUN. His only role in valmun has been delegate, from 5 different countries and in VALMUN 2024 it will be his first experience being a chair.  Through MUN Jorge has increased some skills like talking in public. MUN has been the key for Jorge’s fear of talking in public and he really appreciates it. Jorge is looking forward to being a chair and he is really looking forward  to experiencing this new chance they gave him.
