EIus - Europa-Juniorworkshop 2024/25

Students of the Saarbrücken Gymnasium am Rotenbühl who are interested in European and international law as well as politics can participate in the "EIus – Europa Junior Workshop" at the Europa-Institut of Saarland University starting from the ninth grade. Through multiple events, they gain insights into current topics related to European integration, meet researchers from the university, and get to know institutions of the European Union.

Around 30 interested students participated in this year's "Winter Session." We kicked off in late October with two workshops on "The European Idea" and "What is the European Union and How Does It Work?". At the end of November, an interactive simulation game titled "Foresight: Climate Change as a Challenge for the EU" followed. The "Winter Session" concluded successfully on February 11 with an excursion to the European Parliament in Strasbourg.

On-site, the students had the great opportunity to engage with a Member of the European Parliament and ask their questions. Mr. Repasi generously took a lot of time for this exchange. We sincerely thank him, all participants, and the Villa Lessing – Liberal Foundation Saar for their support and are already looking forward to our upcoming "Summer Session."
