Model European Parliament Baltic Sea Region Session
(MEP BSR)
The Model European Parliament program is a leadership program for youth in the 27 EU countries, set up in 1994 with a secretariat in The Hague, NL.
The program is a training ground for future leaders and politicians as well as for talented students who share an interest in European issues.
The MEP program encompasses schools/institutions in Finland, Sweden, Lithuania and Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, Russia (St. Petersburg), Poland and Germany as well. In 2009 Iceland, Norway and Kaliningrad (Russia) were invited invited to join the organization too.
The vision of the MEP Baltic Sea Organization is:
Build relationships between youth in the Baltic Sea Region
Penetrate common Baltic Sea and Nordic issues
Give insight into each individual’s potential to affect society’s development
Focus on trade, industry, politics and culture, environment and social affairs
Give insight into modern democracy and the parliamentary system, using the European Parliament as an example
Develop debating skills in large international forums.
The working language during the MEP is English.
The sessions take place twice a year in the Baltic Sea Region and since the start of the they have taken place in Stockholm, Copenhagen, Bremen, Tallinn, Copenhagen/Malmoe, Helsinki, Riga, St. Petersburg (Russia) and Ilawa/Torun.
The next MEP BSR session will be held in Kaliningrad, Russia from October 25 - 30, 2010.
