The simulation game was organized by the Ludwigsburg District Office in cooperation with Civic GmbH - Institute for International Education and the State Agency for Civic Education in Baden-Württemberg.
In various sessions, the trainees were able to experience what it means to represent different political positions, find compromises and vote on controversial issues at European level. In this way, the trainees not only learned about the basics and processes at European level during the simulation game, but also dealt with the fundamental values of the EU at the same time. At the end, the fictitious draft law was voted on.
Trainees deal with the environment at meetings
Andreas Eschbach, Head of Central Management and Schools at the District Office, is delighted with the great response. "It is important that young people are convinced about the EU, because European regulations affect our everyday lives," he says.
He is therefore particularly pleased that the EU Trainee Summit is taking place in the district hall. He hopes that the trainees will be convinced after the simulation game "that we need Europe and will exercise their right to vote". The topic of the environment, which the trainees dealt with at the EU Trainee Summit, shows how important discussion is in a democratic Europe, continued Eschbach.
