MODEL EUROPEAN UNION TALLINN 2014
26th of July to 2nd of August
It is the best time of the year to visit the warm, romantic, sunny, medieval capital of Estonia and spend time in an exceptionally beautiful and well-preserved old town - one of Unesco World Heritages. The simulation is managed by EU experts and chairs, who will guide you through the ordinary legislative procedure of the EU. Plus, all working sessions will be held in government offices and Ministries around the historic centre of Tallinn, so you would definitely get a feeling of being an actual decision-maker in the EU, while having this amazing scenery around you.
