Committee Work
For three days, participants convene in their international working groups and discuss a current European topic. Each group is guided by a peer moderator (so-called chairperson). A topic can relate to international politics or human rights, but also to climate change, health, technology and energy. Each working group aims to create solutions together in the form of a written resolution. They are often advised by a policy-maker or expert on the topic. In this phase of the programme, participants learn research, teamwork and innovative thinking.
