Monday

 Starting the week, we went to Xenia  where we had ice-breaking games and each participating country did teaching scenario activities. Later, we had an international coffee break with foods from each country. After a  brief visit to educational museum, we spent the next few hours having a tour given by Mr Tzouras in the old town of Rethymno. In the evening, we went with our hosts to see the nightlife of Rethymno.

The main themes of the discussion were cultural heritage and economy, technology and education. There happened a lots of things during the simulation than just talking. Mr. Gaganis was disappointed about the way his party was doing and he set up a new party. The president of the simulation had some problems with pronouncing the names. At the end were the best speaker and the best diplomate chosen. Mr. Gaganis was the best speaker wi...
