We are delighted to announce the Wellington Model EU 2022!

EU Climate Action and Consumerism

This Model EU will simulate discussions taking place at the European Parliament. Participants will be assigned a European political group to represent as well as a Member State. The European Parliament is the Directly-elected EU institution with legislative, supervisory, and budgetary responsibilities.

This relaxed and engaging event is open to all high school students Years 9 to 13, with no previous experience or EU knowledge required

Concurrently with the student event, a Professional Development workshop will be convened for teachers, facilitated by Dr Maria Perreau of the Aotearoa Social Studies Educators’ Network (ASSEN). The workshop will explore ways in which the European Union may be used as a context for teaching and learning in the social studies curriculum.

The deadline for registrations is 27th July 2022!
