KRISTA C. is the President Chair of the Security Council. She has also chaired LynxMUN and BCNMUN 2025, chairing the HRC and Security Council respectively. Born in the United States to an American and Bulgarian family, she grew up in a multicultural environment, spending school seasons in the US and summers in Bulgaria. With the differences in history, geography and culture of the two countries, Krista learned to recognize at an early age how such differences affect people’s outlook, perceptions, and expectations. Her favourite committee is the Historical Security Council. She has always been fascinated by global relations and multinational co-operation, and wishes to pursue a career in International Relations. In IberianMUN 2025, she was selected as one of 7 out of 400 to attend the Chair Workshop, and attend the 3-week Foreign Policy Academy at Georgetown University this past summer. Through MUN, Krista has been able to explore those ideas on a deeper level, understanding how and why certain governments act the way they do. She looks forward to chairing BCNMUN in November!
LAIA V. is the head of chairs of BCNMUN2026 and is honored to be chairing the Security Council. She is in her second year of the IB diploma program at the American School of Barcelona. Growing up surrounded by multiple cultures, Laia has developed strong social skills and an ease in connecting with people from diverse backgrounds. This international perspective, combined with her involvement in Model United Nations, has fueled her interest in global affairs and diplomacy. She began her MUN journey as a delegate and has attended a variety of conferences, including BFISMUN2024, LYNXMUN2024, IMUN2024, BCNMUN2024, BIMUN2025, and MILANMUN2026, while also having chaired LYNXMUN2025, BCNMUN2025, and BIMUN2026. This vast amount of experiences as both a chair and a delegate has helped her develop her skills in committee management and facilitating productive and engaging debate. She is excited to be part of BCNMUN 2026, and as a chair, she hopes to create an environment where every delegate can experience the same enthusiasm and learning that MUN has provided her.
NILS L. is one of the Expert Chairs of the Security Council. Nils was born in New York to a Dutch-American family. He has lived here since 2021, and is now in 11th grade at the American School of Barcelona. He has spent a significant portion of his life at international schools. He loves to learn about the world and the different people who lived in it. In the fall of 2025, he gave a TEDx talk about the symbolic meaning of flags. He has attended multiple MUN conferences such as BCNMUN, BIMUN and BMUN, and he has gotten honorable mentions in two conferences in the Security Council and the Historical Security Council. He is eager to chair the same committee that he was a delegate in one year prior.
