An ambitious project in prestigious premises
Details on the main project website
Those dates are important throughout the entire application process and beyond.
All interested students from the selected schools can now apply for the Parlement européen des lycéens 2025. The number of places available per school is determined by the Oganisation Committee according to the quantity and quality of these applications.
The Organisation Committee informs the participating schools and students how many places have been allocated to the school and which students have been chosen.
The participating schools confirm the participation of the selected students and register them bindingly.
Additional data from the selected students is required. Participants define, among other things, their PEL preferences (for example which parties they wish to represent in the simulation of the European legislative process).
The Organisation Committee evaluates the follow-up forms and inform the participants about the results.
Students participate in the simulation of the European legislative process and the other parts of the PEL 2025 programme.
The final event takes place in the premises of the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
Some questions that are coming up often and might interest you.
Your school must be one of the educational institutions selected for the PEL 2025. Also, participants must have a very good knowledge of at least one of the three official project languages (German, English & French) (min. level C1 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages - CEFR) and a basic knowledge of another project language (min. level A2/B1). A language certificate is not required
The student application phase for the PEL 2025 closes on 28 October 2024 at 23:59.
Please contact the Candidates Unit of the Organisation Committee: [email protected] , and make sure to indicate your Candidate ID.
We do not take into account such matters to select the participants among the candidates. Nevertheless, it remains up to your school to decide to propose, or not, candidates from a unique kind of section – class, option or speciality, for example.
We recommend approximately 1,5 to 3 hours per week. For example, in Phase One (Simulation of the European Parliament), you will have to attend meetings with the other students of your committee regularly, but you will also spend some time reflecting on new amendments.
At the end of the project, the participants get a certificate that proves that they took part in the Parlement européen des lycéens. Nevertheless, this reward requires regular work from the participant and we can choose to deprive a participant of a certificate if they weren't active enough during the preparation phase.
