Each fall and spring term students are selected to travel, along with SPC faculty. In November 2015, the SPC group traveled the the Czech Republic.<\/p>\n<p>Before the conference, students prepare to represent the interest of country that was assigned by NMUN. We represented China. At the conference, students discuss global issues and draft resolutions that propose solutions to global or regional\u00a0issues.\u00a0 This is a wonderful program for students as they gain valuable speaking, research and writing skills, and meet students from around the world. I enjoy working and travel with the students, and experiencing the MUN conference with them.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-11040 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/international\/st-petersburg-college-model-united-nations-program-travels-czech-republic\/20151124_100927\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/01\/20151124_100927-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-11200\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-11200'>\n\t\t\t\tOn 11\/24, Alexis, Alliyah, Lewis, Alex, Jonathan, Armando, and Amy enjoy snow before entering Javo\u0159\u00ed\u010dko caves near Olomouc, Czech Republic. \n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/international\/st-petersburg-college-model-united-nations-program-travels-czech-republic\/20151124_100513\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/01\/20151124_100513-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-11188\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-11188'>\n\t\t\t\tThe students could not pass up the opportunity to have a snow fight.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/international\/st-petersburg-college-model-united-nations-program-travels-czech-republic\/20151124_100441-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/01\/20151124_100441-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/international\/st-petersburg-college-model-united-nations-program-travels-czech-republic\/20151124_101117_5\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/01\/20151124_101117_5-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/international\/st-petersburg-college-model-united-nations-program-travels-czech-republic\/p1100354\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/01\/P1100354-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-11198\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-11198'>\n\t\t\t\t11\/24,  Bouzov Castle site visit\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/international\/st-petersburg-college-model-united-nations-program-travels-czech-republic\/p1100317\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/01\/P1100317-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-11197\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-11197'>\n\t\t\t\tOn 11\/23, we toured Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp in Poland.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>The conference\u00a0took place\u00a0at Palack\u00fd University in Olomouc.\u00a0\u00a0Before the start of the conference we \u00a0visited historic sites and museums.\u00a0 We visited the medieval Bouzov Castle, walked through <span class=\"st\">Javo\u0159\u00ed\u010dko caves<\/span>, and toured Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp in Poland.<\/p>\n<p>We were out of country for eight days, and the entire time was an educational and enriching experience for all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The SPC Model United Nations Program provides an opportunity for students to travel to collegiate National Model United Nations Conferences.
