This year, two different overseas experiences enabled high school students from the American International School of Cyprus (AISC) to put the school’s mission to develop “socially responsible global citizens” into action. One was the Model United Nation (MUN) conference at the New York University campus in Abu Dhabi in October. In addition to MUN activities such as General Assembly simulations, AISC students and teachers also had the opportunity to meet their counterparts from sister Esol Education school, American International School in Abu Dhabi, which made the trip extra special. In February, another group travelled  to The Hague, Netherlands and participated in an international youth workshop entitled “Seeking Justice: From Nuremberg to the Hague.”  It focused on international justice, including an MUN-style Security Council simulation as well as a visit to the International Criminal Court (ICC). Reflections from students from both trips emphasized how they made their learning come alive and will influence their future studies and careers.
