1st Lykeio of Menemeni and European Youth Parliament

Our school participated the 14th National Conference of the European Youth Parliament. The conference was very well organised by the Executive Board of EYP Greece, university students themselves. The activities started with the teambuilding: the delegates played icebreaking games to be introduced to the others. Then, they had to communicate and cooperate in committees of 15 delegates to come to a resolution! The third day, all the committees came to the General Assembly to vote for or against the resolutions submited.

Zoe Otatzioglou, student of C' class, delegate of CULT (committee of culture) described her experience as a pleasant communicative approach, living process among students though it is a simulation of the European Parliament.

The students are encouraged to take an interest in current affairs and the democratic process, practise independent thinking and take personal initiative.They can express their own opinionswithout any political connotations and without reventing to role play.
