Student-led activity after the mobility

During the mobility in Belgium, the students developped this roleplay to show to other students how the European Union works.

Students's feedback about this mobility!

"The trip opened my eyes towards the importance of maintaining good cooperation and communication amongst the European nations in order to maintain the strength of the European Union. The trip also educated me about the importance of democracy and how much it took to gain that freedom, instead of just taking it for granted which many in my generation seem to do."

"I'm glad for this opportunity. Teachers, please keep doing this: you are able to give a wonderful present to

your students. I will never forget those days!! "

"I absolutely loved this mobility and I hope that this can continue so that other students may experience

such a fun trip! "

"I learnt that every EU nation plays a role in the democracy of the parliament, and not just the major powers. The wide variety of seats in the parliament all fill up during sessions, and it's nice to see that everyone is represented, having constant translators, etc."

"Yes it has, i didn't exactly view Europe as something important before, i didn't understand the point of being in Europe and what it meant. This really helped me comphrehen how lucky we are to be apart of this and how much easier are things since we are european"
