The second meeting of the participating countries — Greece, Turkey, Romania, and Ireland — within the framework of the Junior Model United Nations (JMUN) programme took place in the city of Ünye, Turkey, from October 6th to 11th, 2025.

The Greek delegation consisted of five junior high school students and two teachers from our school. The main objective of the programme was to encourage students from all partner countries to participate in a student conference focused on environmental issues, challenges, and solutions. Each student had prepared to represent a different country from around the world, presenting the major environmental problems that the nation faces, as well as proposing practical and sustainable solutions to address them.

Throughout the conference, participants emphasised the importance of international communication and cooperation in tackling global-scale environmental problems and highlighted the responsibility of each country to take action toward a more sustainable future. The proceedings included opening and closing statements, interstate dialogue, and debate sessions conducted in accordance with international standards and best practices. In total, approximately 30 speakers took part in the conference.

The host country, Turkey, had prepared an excellent and well-organised programme, enriched with a variety of cultural and collaborative activities that strengthened the bonds among the partner schools and ensured the event’s overall success. Our students had the opportunity to visit the Turkish partner school, explore local landmarks and cultural sites, and meet with both the Head of Education and Culture of the city and the Mayor of Ünye.

During the two-day conference, our students represented their assigned countries with great success and eloquence, demonstrating confidence and strong debating skills. Special recognition was given to the six students from all participating countries who received Speaker’s Awards for their outstanding performance. Among the awardees were our students Coralia Ferrari and Angelina Drosou, who both received honourable distinctions for their exceptional participation.
