Dear Administrators, MUN Directors, and Advisors,

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to the 8th annual session of the American College of Greece Model United Nations (ACGMUN) Conference, hosted by Pierce-ACG on our Ag. Paraskevi Campus  in Athens, Greece, from Friday, March 28th to Sunday, March 30th, 2025.

We are excited and pleased to announce this year’s theme:

Balancing Infinite OpportunitieΣ (BIOΣ)

ACGMUN is a three-day conference conducted in English and open to secondary school students (ages 14-18). Our conference serves as a simulation of the United Nations and provides students with the opportunity to speak on issues of importance in today’s volatile and troubling world. Through participation in the conference, delegates increase their knowledge of diplomacy, develop critical analysis, practice public speaking and negotiation, and form friendships beyond their community.

As humanity faces unprecedented challenges – ranging from climate change and technological advancements to widening inequalities – our ability to seize opportunities must align with ethical responsibility and inclusivity. Balancing these opportunities ensures that innovation benefits all, protecting vulnerable populations while advancing shared goals such as poverty eradication, education, and peace. The United Nations emphasizes that only through equitable access to opportunities can we achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and create a world where everyone has the resources and freedom to thrive while safeguarding the planet. Diplomacy plays a pivotal role in ensuring that nations collaborate to create opportunities that benefit all, building trust and mutual understanding across borders.

As of 2024, ACGMUN proudly announces its affiliation with the THIMUN Foundation, marking a significant milestone in our journey of excellence in the Model United Nations community. This affiliation stands as a testament to ACGMUN’s commitment to upholding rigorous standards of academic distinction, diplomacy, and global citizenship. In meeting all the criteria set forth by the THIMUN Foundation, our conference has demonstrated its dedication to fostering meaningful communication, understanding, and collaboration among students from more than 10 countries every year.
