Platon School Model United Nations 2027

About the Conference

PS-MUN is the Model United Nations conference of Platon School in Glyka Nera on the eastern side of Athens. It began in February 2011 with a single special conference and has been held almost every year since, run by the school's students and teachers. The 2027 session takes place from 5 to 7 March 2027 on the Platon School campus in Glyka Nera, Athens. It runs thirteen committees: four General Assembly committees that also meet in a joint plenary, nine further bodies, among them the Security Council, the G20, the Peacebuilding Commission, a Youth Assembly and a special conference on the year's theme.
