11 th Anatolia College (AC) MODEL UNITED NATIONS (MUN) CONFERENCE Thessaloniki, Greece (12-14/02/2016) On February 12-14, 2016, over 450 people gathered on Anatolia campus for the 11th Annual Anatolia College Model United Nations. Students, teachers, and advisors from all over the world came together to talk about the issues that are plaguing the world today. Schools from Egypt, the USA, Palestine, Lebanon, and Turkey flew to Greece for this exceptional educational experience that Anatolia College provides for high school students. Issues such as the Refugee Crisis, Medical Testing in Developing Countries, and Terrorism were topics that were discussed by these future leaders of the next generation. One hundred and six Anatolia delegates from 3rd to 6th form participated in the conference. Seven advisors made up of Anatolia Alumni helped to guide these delegates. Dr. Panagiotis Vlachos, President of Anatolia College, gave a rousing speech. The speech of Rebecca A Fong, the American Council General, was inspiring about her experiences in diplomacy. Vassilis Stravaridis (AC 90) spoke about his experience on the island of Lesbos and the Refugee Crisis in Greece. Both the Council General and Mr. Stravaridis talked to smaller groups as well, giving the students a great connection to real world issues. The 11th installment of this uniquely Anatolia experience was just as exciting this year as it has been in the past. http://www.anatolia.edu.gr/cms.jsp;jsessionid=4148efea7419d3d6f0c9e79 B7D58923D?CMCCode=0101020703&CMRCode=1ACU2QLVQ&extLang=LG # Anavryta Model Lyceum participated in the ACMUN 2016 Conference with 2 Delegations (Afghanistan and Argentina) and 11 Student Delegates.
