Dear MUN Director, Advisor, Colleague,
We cordially invite you to the 25th DSAMUN Conference (Deutsche Schule Athen Model United Nations Conference) to be held from Friday 21 to Sunday 23 October 2021 at Deutsche Schule Athen, under the auspices of the German Embassy. This year’s Special Conference is Post Pandemic World: What lies ahead.
The pandemic has undoubtedly changed the way we perceive life itself, however one question that many people have not thought of asking is how will life look in a post pandemic world? The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly changed people’s lives. Wearing a mask, social distancing and being in quarantine is now part of our quotidian life as well as of what we perceive as normal life itself. The outbreak of that small, deathly virus has had an influence on the socio-economic state of the world.
Nowadays, everyone talks about “life before the pandemic” as if everything was ideal. But was it really? The widespread lockdown measures,made most of the people think who they really were and who they really wanted to be. Two years later, after having found time to assess and evaluate their lives, people, paradoxically, still want to go back to “life before the pandemic”. Life will however never be the same as “life before the pandemic”. After two years of living with the COVID-19 and having experienced some of its outcomes, it is about time we accept that we cannot live the way we used to, but instead we ought to adapt to the new world and whatever lies ahead.
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 Post Pandemic World, Youth Assembly and International Court of Justice). The delegates should research and 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.
