Educational Visits In Brussels

Other Study Visits

  • European Parliament Tours
    Informative visits of the parliament are organised for groups that last around an hour that include a general introduction by an EP official to the role and work of the European Parliament. On occasion, this could be followed by a discussion with an MEP if parliamentary business allows. When the European Parliament is in session, groups may be able to observe MEPs' debates 'live' from the visitors' gallery.
  • European Parliament Role Playing Games
    Step into the shoes of a Member of the European Parliament. At the Parlamentarium, take a fast-track course on how Europe's democratically elected body works. You will need to negotiate with fellow pupils to build the future you want for Europe. In imaginary political groups, you will discuss issues such as water solidarity and micro-chipping and will need to find a compromise in order to legislate. This lasts 2 ½ hours, is free of charge and can take a maximum of 32 students.
