Athens EU Model Junior is a simulation of EU institutions for high school students from all over Greece. It is co-organized by the Europe Direct Information Centre hosted at the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP), the Institute of European Integration and Policy, as well as the European Commission Representation in Greece. The simulated institutions are the European Commission and the Council of the EU (Ministers). Extra roles, such as representatives of Non-Governmental Organizations, other International Organizations, other EU Services and journalists, are also simulated, in order for the students to familiarize themselves with the supranational and the intergovernmetnal function of the EU, on the one hand, and the whole negotiation procedure that takes place, during the management of important issues, on the other.
