Subsidised educational trip to the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France
The Euroscola programme in Strasbourg offers students (14 years and older) from across the EU, applicant countries, and former Member States a chance to experience European parliamentary democracy. Students role-play as Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), debating, negotiating, voting, and adopting resolutions on key European issues. Euroscola includes both in-person attendance at the European Parliament’s Chamber in Strasbourg and online participation via interactive platforms.
UK Participation
Each year, selected secondary schools from the UK Ambassador Schools network, based on their engagement with the EPAS programme, including newly joined schools with fresh ideas, are offered a subsidised trip to Strasbourg for Euroscola. Classes, consisting of up to 24 students and 2 teachers, are eligible to participate. The European Parliament provides a subsidy for the trip, though it does not cover all expenses.
Schools are responsible for organizing their own travel arrangements, including accommodation.
