Our Secretariat Team
It's a great pleasure to introduce our SCMUN 2027 Secretariat Team!
Secretary General
Cecilia Passa
(St Catherine's British School)
My name is Cecilia Passa, and as a rising IB2 student at St. Catherine’s British School, it is my honor to welcome you as the Secretary General for the 6th session of SCMUN. Returning to the community that first sparked my passion for diplomacy is a profound privilege; there is no more meaningful way to conclude my own MUN journey than by leading the conference that introduced me to this community. Reflecting on our past sessions, I am deeply grateful for the outstanding Secretaries General who preceded me, and I am committed to honoring their legacy. The 6th session of SCMUN is the result of the tireless dedication of our Secretariat, Organising Team and Student Officer team, who strive for nothing but excellence. As we gather to "Redesign Reality," we do so not only through our debates but also through the collective spirit of the team we have built. It is my sincere hope that the 6th session of SCMUN allows you to transition from passive observers to active changemakers. I look forward to meeting you all on our campus this February!
Deputy Secretary General
Dominiki Koutroumpousi
(Pierce - ACG)
My name is Dominiki Koutroumpousi, and I am a student at Pierce - The American College of Greece. This year, I have the utmost honor of serving as the Deputy Secretary-General of the 6th Session of St. Catherine's Model United Nations Conference. SCMUN holds a very special place in my heart, as nearly four years ago it was the conference that started it all for me. Having participated in SCMUN and progressed through the roles of delegate, Deputy President, and President, I am now thrilled to return as the Deputy Secretary-General. It is truly my pleasure to be part of this conference, and I sincerely hope that my involvement and work will inspire you to continue this incredible MUN journey. Through your participation, you will engage in meaningful discussions on issues of great global importance that shape our world today. I cannot wait to meet you all. See you in February!
President of the General Assembly
John Makrypodakis
(Pierce - ACG)
My name is John Makrypodakis and I am a rising IB2 student at Pierce - The American College of Greece. This year, I have the utmost honour of serving as the President of the General Assembly for the 6th session of the St. Catherine’s Model United Nations Conference. In my first conference, I perceived the position of a Student Officer, let alone a Secretariat Member, as an unattainable goal and the satisfaction that climbing up the MUN ladder has given me is one of a unique nature. After having attended SCMUN both as a delegate and a Student Officer, coming back as a Secretariat Member is a full-circle moment that allows me to give back to the community which has offered me so much during these past three years. “Redesigning Reality” - this year’s conference theme, is a fragile topic which yet leaves space for lots of fruitful debate in each and every committee! I look forward to meeting you all in February in the 6th session of St Catherine’s MUN and I hope it will be as special for you as it will be for me and the rest of the Secretariat.
Deputy President of the General Assembly
Danae Moutzouridou
(Pierce - ACG)
My name is Danae Moutzouridou and I am a rising 12th grade student at Pierce - The American College of Greece. For this year’s conference, I have the utmost honor to be serving as the Deputy President of the General Assembly. Having participated in MUN for around three years and after attending a SCMUN both as a delegate, and a Student Officer, I finally have the opportunity to serve as one of the members of the Secretariat. MUN has become an important and valuable part of my life and I aim to create an environment that is collaborative, and positive, where every one of you can discover and develop your passion for diplomacy. I hope that this conference will be a great learning experience for all and that it will remain with you after it concludes as a nice memory to look back to. I am very excited to meet you all in February for the 6th session of St. Catherine's MUN and I encourage you to make the most of it!
USG- Student Officers
Eva Lolou
(CGS)
My name is Eva Lolou, and I am a rising 11th grader at Costeas-Geitonas School. In this year’s session of the Saint Catherine’s MUN, I have the honour of serving as the Under Secretary General for Student Officers. This year’s SCMUN holds a very important place in my heart, mainly because 3 years ago, this was my very first conference. It was when and where I stepped into this world of diplomacy and understanding, where opinions unraveled, and it has been the conference that has inspired me the most, not only as a delegate, but later on as a Student Officer, and now as a member of the secretariat. I really hope this conference is impactful, inspires all of its participants, and is as enjoyable for them as it has been for me throughout the years. See you all in February!

Message from our Secretary General
Dear delegates, Student Officers, judges, advocates, advisors and distinguished guests,
It is my profound honor to welcome you to the 6th St. Catherine’s Model United Nations Conference, taking place in February of 2027. This year, we convene under a theme that is not simply relevant, but unavoidable: “Redesigning Reality.”
At the 6th SCMUN, we are standing at the tipping point of change. For centuries, the systems that shape our world have promised stability and progress, and carried the weight of global expectations. Yet today, those same systems are facing an unprecedented sense of overwhelm. Institutions are strained. Trust is eroding. Democratic backsliding is a reality. These trends confirm that the current status quo is no longer sufficient, nor sustainable. Yet, it is critical to understand that reality, as we understand it, is not inevitable. It is constructed through decisions, institutions and people. Which means it can be reconstructed. St. Catherine’s British School, a place of active redesign and transformation, could not be a more suitable setting to demonstrate this.
It is precisely at this tipping point where we can preserve what is failing, or redesign what is broken. At SCMUN, we demand that we choose the latter. “Redesigning Reality” asks us to interrogate the foundations of the systems we operate within: Why are they failing? Who do they fail? And more importantly - why have we allowed them to do so?
The prefix “re” defines this moment, by signalling that we are in a period of metamorphosis. “Redesigning Reality” may appear like a lofty task, but as soon as we begin to reflect on it, we are beginning to achieve it. As emphasised by the present participle “redesigning”, this is not a task for the future. In 2027, we are in the final sprint for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, signalling our responsibility to take action now.
In the days ahead, you will face complexity, disagreement and challenges. But that is the nature of a tipping point. Hold on to this sentiment and tackle it in a steadfast manner. I look forward to witnessing the realities you will challenge, the systems you will question, and the future you will begin to design. May this conference not only test your ability to engage with the world, but your readiness to change it. I wish you the best in your preparation, and look forward to meeting you all on our campus in February for a transformative conference.
Remember that reality is not fixed. It is built. And what is built can be rebuilt.
