Your Europe, Your Say!
The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) is organising, for the first time, a major European event – "Your Europe, your say" – aimed exclusively at young people aged 16-17. It will take place in Brussels from 15-17 April 2010.
They are inviting pupils from the penultimate year of secondary school in the 27 Member States of the European Union to play the role of EESC members by taking part in a mock plenary session. This exceptional experience will enable them to find out about the EESC's role within the European Union and to understand the decision-making processes. This will be a rare opportunity for the young participants to debate a specific subject in a multicultural environment: to think, put forward arguments, negotiate and find a compromise. Above and beyond the work on the pre-determined topic, they will be able to discuss Europe and many other subjects, talk with young people from a whole range of backgrounds, discover new cultures and go home with a lot of memories that they will not forget.
Register via the website for this exceptional project by 15 January 2010. On the site you will find the description of the event, the electronic registration form, the rules and all the practical arrangements.
