EUROPEAN YOUTH PARLIAMENT

Eight students (Lucas Pollet, Asmara Awada, Alexandre Roubaud, Lisa Gerlach, Cecilia Puech, Benjamin Bloch, Marie Bachmüller and Alexander Durie) from IBS were able to participate in the 8th regional session of the European Youth Parliament in PACA on the weekend of the 8th-10th of February. We were able to enjoy and participate in numerous outdoor and indoor activities including team building exercises, a “treasure hunt”, the Eurovillage and the Europarty on Saturday night. We all got the chance to socialize and get to know the other students in our committees. Committee work was a very interesting experience, where we all got the chance to write a resolution in order to solve current European issues. We were given the opportunity to exchange ideas and work together as a group to reach unanimity! The weekend ended on a fine note with the General Assembly in which debating, defending, attacking and voting were key. The European Youth Parliament was a life-changing experience in which we discovered that despite our young age, we contributed to a possible change in the EU. We are all looking forward for the next available session! We would like to thank the International School of Manosque and its students who were wonderful hosts!
