In early February, our students went to the fifth EGIMUN (Egypt Model United Nations) conference to try themselves again as international delegates. This year, the conference was held in the picturesque town of El Gouna. The event was attended by 400 participants from different countries.

As the event suggests, the guys discussed acute socio-political issues and presented their resolutions at the debate. In their free time, they played volleyball, tug-of-war, and swam in the sea. They became friends and gained useful international contacts.

In addition, the students took part in volunteer activities dedicated to the protection of nature. This year, they cleaned the beach of environmental pollution and collected almost 870 kilograms of garbage! The children saw with their own eyes the result of collective actions and felt proud of the huge contribution they had made to the preservation of the environment.

Students share such impressions:

"The trip to Egypt was amazing! We have never been bored at EGIMUN: there was a whole team working there to entertain the delegates! We also visited many shops where we could buy everything from sweets to stationery!"  Kirill

"I was very impressed with Egypt! This country has beautiful streets and sand dunes along the roads. But there is also a disadvantage — dirty beaches. At one of them, the delegates and I collected 870 kg of garbage! As for the conference, it really inspired me! I learned how to make resolutions correctly. The chairmen of the commission were kind and helped us in everything!" Egor
