After a long break due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, this year, we were finally able to once again host RysMUN for the entirety of our 2nd year students and the visiting students from our partner schools. This year, without Zoom, but in physical form.
MUN, which is short for Model United Nations, is a simulation of the UN's work. MUN-conferences are held all over the world and give students a unique look into international collaboration, diplomacy and compromise.
3.E has just returned from their GCP exchange visit to Toronto. Here are a few descriptions pf tjeor experiences with their host families both in and outside of Toronto.

"We are staying with the Chos, a family consisting of 17 year old Annalisa, 12 year old Alena and their parents, Rebekka and Peter. Rebekka is Chinese Canadian and Peter is Korean Canadian and we had a lot of good talks about Canadian identity, multiculturalism and diversity.
Our GCP exchange visit in Argentina has given us the most intimate look into Argentine culture imaginable. Upon arrival at Buenos Aires, we went to a little hostel located in the neighbourhood of Palermo.
3.Z has just returned after a fantastic GCP Exchange Visit to Turkey. First, they stayed with our partner school, Cevre College, in Istanbul, where they stayed with the Turkish students and their families.
For five days, 3.Z experienced the day-to-day life and the culture of their hosts. There was also time to play the Turkish students in both volelyball and basketball.
