Your task is to present the official position of your assigned representative. Misrepresenting this position and/or representing your private views is against the rules, even if you do not agree with your role’s position. In any case, you must not hyperbolize nor satirize the position of your representative.

SLIDE 23

In this area you will find a range of materials meant to help you get ready for the simulation in May. More particularly you will find: 1. A set of background materials on the simulation itself as they become available; 2. The recording of live webinars once they have taken place; 3. A set of generic materials on the EU, its structure and the overall political strategies recently spelled out by its main institutions; 4. A set of readings from various sources sorted in 11 files for the 11 priorities meant to help you understand the various EU policies relevant to the simulation. 5. A few Quiz to test your knowledge on the simulation materials!

In partnership with

slide-24
SLIDE 24

Please note that due to the novel topic of the simulation, the list of relevant EU policies is quite long. Therefore, you will see the number of available readings is also quite

  • high. We do not expect you to read everything; the idea is that you get

basic information on every policy and go a bit deeper into the topic if you are strongly interested. We suggest that you look for talking points which you can use in a

  • debate. Similarly, we have tried to balance the level of technicity of

the readings provided, especially in the economic field. One useful tip: if you open a very long report and want a broad idea of what it says, go straight the executive summary!

Please also remember that you always need to try and remember who is the source of the document. Some documents have a great explanatory value, providing structure and data, while some others will have solid analytical insight.
