Debating and experiencing an enlarged European Union

Together with our Hungarian partner organisation "U=rope" we organise a 4-day long event, where we expect more then 100 participants (university students, young workers, etc.) from all over Europe. During the first two days there shall be lectures delivered by experts followed by discussions on the issues and challenges facing the enlarged EU. The following two days there will be a simulation of the decision-making system of the European Union.
 
Besides 'hard work', an interesting social and cultural programme is waiting for the participants to enjoy your stay in Budapest.
 
The event shall take place in the heart of Budapest, on a ship on the Danube from 27 - 31 October. The participation fee is 50 Euro, which covers all meals and accommodation costs. Travel reimbursements are also available.

The Simulation

During the entire simulation, participants shall act on behalf of their Member State or Political Party. At the conference, three of the EU's Institutions shall be simulated; the European Parliament, the European Council, the General Affairs and External Relations Council. The same topic (The future of Common Foreign and Security Policy) shall be discussed at all of the Institutions and the participants will have to work for reaching compromises and agreeing on common positions by the end of the day.
