Your presentation
Each school or college attending is invited to give a presentation sharing their experiences as a European Parliament Ambassador School in 2025/26. Below are some pointers for what you might cover:
- What activities you ran and took part in
- Reflections from Junior Ambassadors on what they got out of being Ambassadors
- What your plans are for next year
- MAXIMUM 5 minutes
- If you are using slides: use them to illustrate what you are saying with pictures and key quotes, not as a script. Get rid of long lists or big blocks of text: no one wants to see you read your slides out.
You can use slides, but it is not required. If you are, please follow our guide to sending slideshows/presentations that won’t break:
