Closing Ceremony by Sklavounakis George It’s the last day of the conference! The program includes the General Assembly and the closing ceremony. The entire procedure ran smoothly, and there were several delegates who distanced themselves from the pack due to their will and ambition to contribute as much as possible to the process and to express their country’s policy on the various subjects that were discussed in the firmest way possible. The General Assembly was followed by the closing ceremony of the conference. The procedure started with a speech delivered by Mr. Ioannis Amanatidis, the Greek Secretary of State of Foreign Affairs, aiming to inspire students by telling them not to give up on their dreams. Soon after, it was time for the chairs to thank the board, their delegates and everyone else who positively contributed to the final result (*coughs* the media team was, of course, included), and they awarded the best-performing delegates of their committee. Then, Fotini Zarogianni, this year’s Secretary General, had the floor and, delivering her final speech, she said that it was her last time at Arc MUN, and she closed the ceremony by quoting “House of Cards” Frank Underwood: “If you don’t like how the table is set, turn over the table.”. And this was exactly the goal of this year’s conference. See you next year!
