Thursday, 20th November - After an exhausting 9 hour journey, all 20 students from forms 8, 9 &10 had finally
arrived in Madrid. We quickly checked into the hotel and as soon as possible all students were ready to start
visiting Madrid. After a long shopping walk through central Madrid, we finally had found our restaurant and
were ready to recover our energy back for the trip to Valencia.
Friday, 21st November - We woke up early in the morning as we were all excited to go to Valencia. The
journey was about 4 hours but we managed to get to Valencia in time to have lunch and get ready for the
Opening ceremony. All delegates were all distributed into their debating rooms and we were ready to start
the conference. Everyone read out their opening speeches and soon it was time for lobbying. The day
was unfortunately ending and all students were excited for the following days ahead of them.
Saturday, 22nd November – The conference was indeed the most fruitful day of our trip, in which many
students spoke confidently during the debate as both Mr Quinn and Profª Leta had helped prepare us for this
conference. Students were proud of what they had accomplished and some resolutions had even passed.
After debating all issues in the agenda, sports activities were arranged and to relax after the tiring day, the
American School of Valencia arranged a disco night for all participants.
Sunday, 23rd November – The final day of the conference unfortunately arrived; students were taken
to visit the United Nations facilities in which consisted of a guided tour through the facilities and a
presentation to show how the UN helps others. We were taken back to ASV, and attended the General
Assembly and the closing ceremony arrived after a very fruitful conference. After an exciting day, it was time to
say goodbye to the other schools; but we still had a guided tour kindly prepared by the ASV. We visited the
historic city of Valencia.
Monday 24th November - Students woke up early in the morning as we departed from Valencia at 8 a.m. We
made several comfort breaks and finally after a 13 hour journey, we were back in Porto.
This trip wouldn’t have been possible without Mr Quinn and Profª Leta. We thank them for all their hard
work in preparing and organizing the trip but also Mrs Quinn who kindly offered to accompany us in the trip.
A special thanks to them as without them the trip wouldn’t have had been possible.
