The European Parliament Ambassador School Programme (EPAS) - 2021/2022

The European Parliament Ambassador School Programme (EPAS) involves schools throughout Europe and consists of an annual training course that will culminate in the ceremony of delivery and affixing the plaque of the School Ambassador of the European Parliament.

Former President of the European Parliament David Sassoli leaves a message to teachers and students participating in the "Schools Ambassadors of the European Parliament" - EPAS: this initiative contributes to bringing the European Union and its citizens closer together, promoting parliamentary democracy and the commitment of young people - Click here to watch the message of President Sassoli

EPAS Veneto

For the 2021/2022 school year in Veneto, the following secondary schools of second degree have joined the Europe Direct of the City of Venice to support in the area:

Liceo Angela Veronese di Montebelluna (TV) - see detail
Istituto Maria Ausiliatrice di Padova (PD) - see detail
Liceo Guarino Veronese di San Bonifacio (VR) - see detail
Liceo Flaminio di Vittorio Veneto (TV) - see detail
Istituto Alberghiero Beltrame di Vittorio Veneto (TV) - see detail

EPAS - How it works

The course aims to bring students closer to Europe and the European Parliament in particular, to make them aware of how it works, encourage interaction between students and Members of the European Parliament and provide useful information to young people on Europe’s training and work opportunities for young people. Relations with schools in other European countries are also fostered through the network of ambassador schools.

Schools are required to organize an initiative to involve the school community and possibly citizenship around 9 May. On this occasion, the Members of the European Parliament in the constituency to which the school refers will participate in the ceremony of the plaque and will deliver the parchments for teachers and students as "European Parliament Ambassadors"

In normal times, the Schools of Ambassadors have the opportunity to take part in competitions enabling winners to take part in European Parliament plenary simulation days in Strasbourg under the Euroscola programme. These simulations are temporarily suspended due to COVID-19 but we hope they will be reactivated soon.

Main themes for the 2021/2022 edition:

Environmental protection
Green
Digital
Conference on the Future of Europe
European citizenship

The activities will be organised jointly by the "senior ambassadors" (professors) and the "junior ambassadors" (students):

Creation of an Infopoint on the European Union, an information and activity point dedicated to Europe and its institutions (brochure, website, social media contacts and other information material);
Initiatives on EU legislation and regulation, both within and outside the school;
Debates with Memebers of the European Parliament;
Initiatives on EU legislation and regulation within and outside the school;
The Senior Ambassador guides pupils in the study of teaching materials on the European Union and ensures that junior ambassadors are able to share their knowledge of the European institutions and the European Parliament with their classmates, encouraging them to become "active European citizens". The didactic material to be provided consists of a manual for teachers and a publication divided into modules for students;
Teachers and pupils actively follow all updates on the Twitter and Facebook pages of the European Parliament’s Information Office;
Teachers encourage students to post news, blogs, photos, videos;
Each year, preferably around 9 May, when Europe Day is celebrated, the senior ambassador and junior ambassadors organise an event for Europe Day.
