On May 11th, 22 students and three professors from the Department of Communication and Journalism at Missouri Western State University will take off from Kansas City International. Their destination, a 19 day applied learning experience through Europe. Starting in Athens, the group will participate in the 12th Annual International Conference on Communication and Mass Media. From there, the group will then journey to London, visiting William Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre as well as diving into the sights and sounds of London and the surrounding area.
From London, the group will split into two with the Journalism students heading to Venice, Italy and the Public Relation students heading to Rome. From there it gets complicated! The Journalism students travel then to Rome via rail, then on to Dubrovnik, Croatia via rail and ferry and finally to Dublin before heading back to Kansas CIty. The PR students journey from Rome via rail and bus to Morgana, Switzerland. From there, they move on to Milan, Italy and then to Malta. From Malta they travel to Dublin and finally board the plane for Kansas City.
Throughout this 19-day journey, this blog will present daily posts as well as pictures from the trip. So… check back with us on the 12th of May and vicariously join us as we wind through the European cities and countryside, presenting at conferences, enjoying the local foods and customs and soaking up the best that Europe has to offer.
