Grigoris Aspridis

Who are you?

My name is Grigoris Aspridis and I was born & raised in Athens, Greece, in 1996. I am currently a senior undergraduate student in the Department of Communication, Media & Culture, in the Faculty of International Relations, Communication & Culture, at Panteion University of Social & Political Sciences. My interest in International Relations started from a young age, a passion that has not ceased to this day, given the fact that I want to follow postgraduate studies in the field of War, Media & International Relations, hoping to work as a war journalist. In the meantime, I have worked in the Press Office of one of Greece’s most respected basketball clubs, as well as a Television Production Assistant in such shows as The Voice of Greece & Greece’s Got Talent. I join the family of RhodesMRC for the third time, and this time, it’s critical. Dear diplomats, you must be on top form to handle what’s in store for 2018. Are you ready for it?

I will not mention the location and the people of Rhodes, because these should never be questioned. Instead, it’s the unconventionality, and challenge, of its committees.

What do you expect to gain as a member of the Board of RhodesMRC 2018?

I joined the team for the second time, because RhodesMRC is the gift that keeps on giving. Simulations, in general, and RhodesMRC specifically, are a wonderful academic present you can give yourself. You acquire knowledge, as well as testing your skills, whether it’s cooperation, or compromise. The experience is not much different for the Chairs, since we learn new things every time, from you, and our supervisors. Each set of delegates is a new experience, and to be frank, I cannot wait what this one has to show me!
