From 6 to 8 May, Berlin Euro Parliament<\/strong>\u00a0is a small-scale reproduction of the workings of the European Parliament, as faithfully as possible: structure, operation, procedures of the various bodies, national policies, global issues, etc.
In this extensive role-playing game in French, English and German, each young person is given the role of a Member of the European Parliament for three days, along with his or her country, party and committee. In this context, the young people have to propose and defend resolutions and laws that can improve the European situation.
The subjects are proposed to them several months in advance to enable them to do the necessary research to better understand their country, the party they represent and the challenges they will be working on.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
