Deutsche Schule Thessaloniki Model United Nations 2026

About the Conference

DSTMUN is the Model United Nations conference of the Deutsche Schule Thessaloniki, the German School of Thessaloniki. It is organised by the school's own students and grew out of a small internal debate the school's MUN club started in 2013, before opening to outside delegations in 2018. The 9th edition takes place from 20 to 22 November 2026 on the school's campus on the edge of Thessaloniki, Greece. Ten committees meet over three days, four in the General Assembly and six specialised bodies, under the theme "A more just world: The role of Peremptory Norms in International Law". Around 400 delegates are expected. The conference is meant for students in grades 8 to 12, and it has run fully in person since 2022. Alongside the usual UN bodies it offers a Council of the European Union, an International Court of Justice case and a Youth Delegate Forum for younger delegates. DSTMUN is a member of the MUN Impact network.
