Euroscola

a day at the European Parliament

Twelve times a year, the Euroscola programme brings together a group of about five hundred 16–18-year-old secondary school students from fifteen European Union countries. They have a day of meetings in Strasbourg (and occasionally in Brussels) in order to learn about the European Parliament and to take part in presentations and discussions and to vote on European issues.

The students come from different cultures and countries, but they all understand each other – although it is a multilingual experience, everyone can communicate in either French or English.

The day is led by officials of the Parliament who make sure that all the young people participate fully in the meetings. The students are divided into five working parties of about a hundred members. Each working party chooses a spokesperson to present the conclusions of its discussions to all five hundred participants at the end of the afternoon.

Although the students are quite young they are treated exactly as if they were Members of the European Parliament (MEPs): they sit in the main debating room, use electronic voting and so on. All the participants enjoy the experience, but young people who are self-confident and who are willing to speak in public probably benefit the most.

If you would like to receive more details about the programme or express an interest in participating, please contact the European Parliament.
