Members of the European Parliament

Future Leaders

EUropa.S. is a unique opportunity for everyone willing to understand in practice the function of the leading EU institutions: the European Parliament, the European Council, the European Commission, the European Court of Justice, and the European Central Bank. During the simulation, candidates will be invited to play the role of a Member of European Parliament (MEP), a Head of State, a Commissioner, a Judge, or a Stakeholder of the Banking System depending on the institution they participate in. In this framework, they will be given the chance to negotiate on a specific EU policy area, to meet aspects of European legislation and to get involved into the challenge of decision making process.

Apart from gaining knowledge on the function and official procedures of these Institutions, the participants will face the challenge to effectively cooperate with each other, in order to develop their communication and negotiation skills, as well as practice their rhetorical and leadership abilities.

As Members of the European Parliament, the participants are asked to represent both the European political group they belong to, and the Member State they were assigned with.

In the committee sessions the MEPs need to negotiate on the relevant agenda topic, bearing in mind their party’s policy and their country’s interests. At the end of the procedure, they are required to form and vote on a report which reflects their ideas and conclusions from the discussion.

Cooperation and consensus: the heart of EU
