Participants will benefit from dedicated workshops focused on decision-making, debate techniques, and public speaking skills, as well as workshops on the debated topics and knowledge about the EU institutions. Model EU aligns with the European Youth Week 2024, organised by the European Commission to promote youth engagement, participation, and active citizenship.

Your key roles in
shaping European
perspectives

At Model EU Moldova, you won’t just observe – you’ll actively participate. Each participant becomes a representative of the citizens from an EU Member State, and a political party and holds a stance on the topic under discussion. Dive into debates, suggest amendments, and cast your vote to shape the final resolution. This simulation goes beyond the surface, fostering critical thinking, effective communication, teamwork, and strategic planning. It mirrors the real-world challenges faced by EU policymakers.

By embodying roles like Member of the European Parliament and journalist, you’ll not only build a network but also develop a profound understanding of European values, gaining firsthand insights into the operations of major European institutions through direct participation in the EU legislative procedure.

Young individuals from Moldova, aged 16-25, interested in
learning about the workings of European Union institutions.
