Conference – Uruguay – Universidad ORT Uruguay

From 18 to 23 August 2024, the FMA together with the University ORT of Uruguay has organized a three-day EP to Campus programme on campus on the framework of the Euromodel on the work of the European Parliament.

The former MEP and Ambassador Ana Gomes gave a presentation to a group of 70 students as part of a simulation of a discussion in the European Parliament. These students have been selected among 300 candidates from all universities and careers of Uruguay.

In her presentation Ana Gomes shared her experience in negotiation in an engaging way for the students. She introduced the functioning of the different European Commissions. She explained the role of members of the European Parliament and political parties with respect to the different nationalities. She spiked vivid interest and questions from the audience were abundant.

This is what the EP to Campus programme is about – extending the work of the European Union. In this case, from the European parliament, disseminating its principles and role, which is not always straightforward in on the international scene.
