Union & Peace is a Model United Nations Simulation that takes place at the John F. Kennedy School of Queretaro in a yearly basis. The simulation is an entirely student-run event in which high school (grades 9-12) students have the opportunity of developing essential skills and abilities that will provide them with the tools and experience necessary to become the future leaders of the world. All of the students participating in this event gain knowledge and experience in areas such as research, writing, public speaking, debating and team work- to mention a few.

Union & Peace's main objective is to help in uniting the youth of the world -as the future leaders of our society- but specifically from Mexico in order to find new, creative and peaceful solutions to serious global issues.
