SOCIAL PROJECT

Founded in 2023 by Secretary General Maria Cecília S. and Vice Secretary General Maria Luiza N., the AleMUN Social Initiative (AleMUNSCI) aims to put into practice some of the UN's fundamental principles: the defense of human rights, equality and access to education for all. Since its creation, the project has established partnerships with Escola Pedro II and Instituto Apontar, allowing students from more schools to take part in our MUN conference.

Last year, in order to expand the project, the Organizing Team, together with the school community, we formed a cooperation with the NGO Favela Orgânica. Throughout the event, we accepted donations of food products. After the conference, the Organizing Team assembled them into food parcels (=cestas básicas), which were donated to women in vulnerable situations in the Babilônia and Chapéu da Mangueira communities.

We kindly asked our colleagues to make donations according to the segment to which they belong. As for our invited delegates, we welcomed any contribution from the list below:

Kindergarten: oil, salt, Maisena cookie or cream cracker
Elementary school: rice, beans, tomato sauce (in bags)
Middle school: powdered milk, pasta, can of tuna
High school: coffee, sugar, chocolate powder

Goal: 170 food parcels
Donation collecting venue: Garage waiting room & lobby

IN THIS YEAR'S EDITION (2025):

At AleMUN, we believe that taking action is just as important as meaningful debates. That’s why we’re proud to continue MUNSCI, our Model UN’s social initiative that connects debate with community service. Since its launch last year, MUNSCI has been committed to making a positive impact. In 2024, we successfully collected food parcels to support the Babilônia and Chapéu Mangueira communities. This year, we are expanding our efforts and inviting everyone to contribute to a vital cause. We are collecting essential items (beans, rice, oil, and powdered milk) for seven institutions in which our ninth graders do their social internships: CELPI, DARA, Casa Santa Ignez, Creche Santa Clara, Escola Dom Cipriano, Espaço Santa Terezinha and Obra do Berço. You have 15 days to make your donation, from June 11th, the opening day of AleMUN, until June 28th, when we gather for our Festa Junina celebration. Your support can make a real difference, so please donate!
