Phase 1 programme:
The students simulate a legislative process. Each pupil will be placed in one of the political parties of the European Parliament which he will have to represent during the plenary session. A precise theme will be chosen beforehand and a law proposal for the simulated European directive will be written. Each party then has the opportunity to present various amendments with the aim of subsequently obtaining a majority vote. Preparatory work is expected in advance within the parties in order to be able to defend the proposed amendments and to facilitate possible alliances with other parties.
-
Phase 2 programme:
In the second phase of the PEL 2021 the students change roles and this time attend a simulation of the Council of the EU, which aims to train the participants in international negotiations. The EU Council will focus on the directive developed in Phase 1 and will also deal with budgetary matters.
-
Phase 3 programme:
Participants will discuss the future of the European Union. During this last phase of the PEL 2021, students will be able to share their personal opinions.
