This year,
as in the two previous years, IES Ciudad de Jaén has participated in the Global
Classrooms Conference, a program in which students simulate the function of the
United Nations by discussing, debating, and creating resolutions addressing
some of the world’s most serious problems. After the Madrid Conference, one
student from each of the ten bilingual schools in Madrid
is chosen to participate in the conference in New York City. This year Alex Robert Azoitei was chosen from Ciudad de Jaén and in May,
along with nine other students, flew to New
York for the conference. In addition to debating and
writing resolutions at the United Nations building, not to mention seeing UN
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon speak, the students also got to experience New
York—visiting iconic places like Central Park, Times Square, Grand Central
Station, and the Empire State Building. The Students also had the opportunity
to visit an American high school, one located on the 12th—14th
floors of a building in Manhattan.
