Dear MUN Director, Advisor, Colleague,

We cordially invite you to the 27th DSAMUN Conference (Deutsche Schule Athen Model United Nations Conference) to be held from Friday 18 to Sunday 20 October 2024 at Deutsche Schule Athen, under the auspices of the German Embassy. This year’s Special Conference is on “Conflict Realities”.

The theme "Conflict Realities" reflects the stark acknowledgment of the harsh and distressing consequences associated with war. War has tragically become a dystopian reality for countless people globally, with the experience of death, hunger, displacement, and overall discomfort. Yet, amidst the hardships, it remains a steadfast belief that in the midst of chaos, every person has dreamt of peace. Therefore, the theme "Conflict Realities" serves as a call to enhance our understanding of the harsh truths associated with conflict, with the ultimate aim of replacing them with prosperity and sustainable development efforts. The pivotal step towards achieving this lies in codifying the aspects of conflict realities. The role of the United Nations in mending the world's fractured societies and fostering peace cannot be overstated. Within the spectrum of the SDGs, Goal 16 stands out as a guiding principle, emphasizing the vital need to promote peace and cultivate inclusive institutions. It is imperative to ensure that, in the unfortunate event of wars, the international community is well-prepared to respond effectively, with the overarching goal of securing lasting peace.

DSA-MUN is a three-day-long simulation of the work of the United Nations. It is designed for secondary school students (Greek Lykeion/grades 10-12) and is intended to provide an occasion for the delegates to discuss world issues in an international environment. The delegates discuss vital issues of international importance, preparing declarations and resolutions and learning to negotiate and cooperate under the UN regulations. The DSAMUN Conference allows participants to come into direct contact with the work of the United Nations and to experience the world of diplomacy. Furthermore, for students from schools where the first language is not English, a participation in a MUN conference offers them the opportunity to develop and practice their English, as the official language of DSAMUN (preparing resolutions, lobbying, debating) is English.

DSAMUN has 4 General Assembly Committees (Disarmament and International Security Committee, Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Committee, Special Political and Decolonization Committee and Legal Committee) and 6 specialized committees (Security Council, ECOSOC, Environmental Committee, Special Conference on Ethics, Youth Assembly and International Court of Justice). The delegates should research, prepare draft resolutions and policy statements on the various issues and learn to negotiate and debate in the formal way of the United Nations.

Our main goal is to continue to develop and maintain our DSAMUN experience available to all those familiar with MUN conferences and provide students and teachers the opportunity to remain connected to the world of diplomacy through MUN conferences and enhance their MUN experience.

Finally, we strongly believe that the controversial and highly interesting topics on the agenda will contribute to the success of the conference by inspiring all participants to look out for constructive solutions and, thus, to improve the current situation in the world.
