Simulation of the Council of the EU for secondary schools
Do you know how the European institutions work? Do you want to become a representative of your country to the European Union? Can you find a compromise? Do you want to learn diplomatic skills?
Our project of the Council of the European Union simulation put these and many other questions to young Europeans in the Olomouc region who were interested to become part of something unique and innovative.
Since the project started in October 2007 we were trying to attract young people and offer them the chance to participate in this educational project that took place throughout the first months of the year 2008. During this time young participants could experience the real atmosphere of meetings at high levels, present and advocate official statements of EU states during the meetings of their particular committees, and at a final conference opened by one of the Czech representatives to the European Parliament Mr. Jan Bøezina.
At the end of the project in April 2008 we motivated our young Europeans by giving them certificates about their participation and also a price for the winners best communicating position of represented state that included a trip to Brussels.
