What is MEP?
The Model European Parliament is a simulation of the European Parliament for young people aged 16-19 that has been running since 1994. Model European Parliament sessions can take place at national, regional and international levels. Around 30 countries are eligible to participate in international sessions, while euroregional sessions involving about 10 countries per regional session are usually organised to give delegates an opportunity for more exposure. As the national coordinator of MEP Europe in Malta, Aġenzija Żgħażagħ organises national sessions to prepare Maltese delegates to take part in international sessions which are held in different European destinations every 6 months.
Young people aged 16-19 years can participate in MEP. Aġenzija Żgħażagħ organizes the national selections during which the Agency selects two (2) delegations to represent Malta in March and November 2024, International MEP sessions.
During the January 2024 National Selections, the adjudicated best overall school will be the delegation participating in the March 2024 International session in Tartu, Estonia. The November 2024 delegation attending the International session in Athens, Greecce will be composed of the five best delegates from the other participating schools.
The Model European Parliament is the place for young ideas, the forum for youth democracy and parliamentarism, and the venue for future decision makers. It gives you an opportunity to excel in public speaking, debating, lobbying, writing resolutions, working in a team, and more importantly to make new friends.
