Become a member of the European Parliament for a day!

What is it all about? - The Green Deal showdown

In our EU parliamentary simulation game, you represent one of the major political groups in the European Parliament and take a position on the Green Deal together with students from h_da, UTT from France and CUT from Cyprus. The EGD aims to make Europe climate-neutral by 2050 – but it is controversial. Should climate protection come first or economic development? Conservative and right-wing political groups warn of the negative effects on industry, while Greens and Left fight for ambitious climate action. You will discuss with other EUt+ students, develop strategies like a real EP member and shape the future of European climate policy! Lecturers and external experts in this field will be available to answer your questions and provide further information during the project.
