The 16th CGS Model United Nations Conference on the theme of op-PRESS-ion was conducted online from 10th to 12th December 2021. Over the course of the three days, 430 13 to 18-year-old students from 19 private and public schools in Greece and abroad actively participated in public discourse, debate and discussions on international issues.
During the Opening Ceremony, CGS had the pleasure and honour to host CGS alumnus Dr. Constantinos Filis, who is currently the Director at the Institute of Global Affairs, Associate Professor at the American College of Greece, President of the Foundation for Thracean Art and Tradition and member of the Hellenic Olympic Committee. In his speech, Dr. Filis addressed diversity and authoritarianism and more specifically how autocratic regimes treat minorities.
Since 2012, the CGS MUN Conference has been recognized by the THIMUN Foundation as a THIMUN-affiliated conference, receiving the maximum honour a school can receive from the official European MUN organization.
