Here We Are! Waiting for the train in Copenhagen.
What we did: • Conference started at half eight every morning and ended at half five. • During the conferences we negotiated resolutions (solutions to world issues) with the other delegates. • We presented them to our committees and the resolutions that passed were brought to the General Assembly on the final day.
Where we were: We were in Nyborg, Denmark. It was -6 degrees everyday, We walked to the school every morning in the snow.
Conference! The MUN team.
Awards • Mark Ryan received the award for ‘Most Distinguished Delegate’. • Several of the Villier’sdelegates had resolutions passed. • Amendments (Changes to a resolution) were also passed.
Who we met There were students from Germany, England, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. We became friendly with them and still talk! The teachers made useful contacts with other European schools.
What we learned and why we recommend it: • We improved our public speaking skills. • We learned about new cultures and countries which made us more understanding of difference. • We saw the world from a different point of view. • We also learned to negotiate which included our nightly curfew. • Its a useful learning experience outside of a classroom environment.
We would like to thank the PTA, Ms. Storey and everyone else who helped to fundraise for the trip, it was a truly memorable experience and we are very grateful. We would also like to thank Ms. Gowing and Ms.Dillon-Devine for accompanying us to Nyborg.
