Objectives and Tasks
Our aim is to implement EU and UN simulations based on knowledge and universal values to overcome the challenges faced by student to apply their theoric knowledge. Students are young people as future decision-makers who will live, work, vote and participate in civil society in their countries. Nevertheless many does not have practical information on how the EU will affect their future lives.Their views are formulated based on theoric information.To practice simulation in Model EU experience is an excellent for bringing students closer to the notion of the EU. For this reason we believe that implementation of our project is a positive example for future initiatives, and create an opportunity for students to improve their understanding of EU well.
