8th DSTMUN Invitation

Dear students, teachers, parents and visitors,

It is our great pleasure to hereby invite you and your students to the 8th annual session of the Deutsche Schule Thessaloniki Model United Nations conference that will take place on November 21st-23rd, 2025, on the premises of the German School of Thessaloniki.

DSTMUN is a three-day-long simulation of the proceedings of the United Nations that provides junior high school and high school students (grades 8 to 12) with the opportunity to improve their English and debating skills while discussing global issues on an international level.

The conference will consist of four General Assembly Committees (Disarmament and International Security Committee; Economic and Financial Committee; Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Committee; Special Political and Decolonisation Committee), as well as six specialized committees (Security Council; Council of the European Union; International Court of Justice; Human Rights Council; Youth Delegate Forum; World Health Organisation). Depending on the committee they take part in, delegates will do research on their topic, draft resolutions and policy statements on various issues and learn to follow the rules and the formalities set by the United Nations.

We eagerly await engaging discussions aimed at addressing the urgent challenges posed by our conference’s topic: “Progress Amid Prejudice: The Ongoing Fight for Minority Rights”. Our aim is to foster dialogue that generates innovative solutions to the marginalization of minorities ultimately promoting a more peaceful world for future generations. Join us as we embark on a journey of diplomacy, dialogue and decisive action, shaping a world where peace and cooperation thrive.

Being a conference organized by students for students, DSTMUN proves that youth is indeed capable of carrying out important tasks, which is exactly what delegates will be called upon to do during the three days of our conference.

The members of the Human Rights Council (HRC) engage in critical dialogue on pressing global injustices, striving to confront the dire human rights conditions in Latin American prison systems, eliminate forced child labor in extractive economies, and implement robust workplace protections against inequality and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

In the Council of the European Union (EU), participants will immerse themselves in high-level diplomatic negotiations, reassessing the legitimacy of deporting asylum seekers to third countries, reinforcing protection for press freedom and journalists amidst rising threats to media independence, and re-evaluating EU-Africa partnerships in the spheres of development, trade, and security.

Furthermore, delegates of the Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Committee (GA3) will address urgent humanitarian issues, focusing on combating the alarming rise in gender-based violence and femicides linked to organized crime, while critically assessing the treatment and conditions of migrant workers under the Kafala system.

The Organizing Team of DSTMUN is working tirelessly to ensure that all committees will provide their delegates with interesting and constructive debates and hopes to see many of you in person at the conference in November.
