Study Trips
Study trips to Brussels for graduate journalism students are organized on an annual basis. Students participate in this week-long trip by visiting the EU institutions in Brussels as well as other organizations focused on journalism. If you or someone know you know may be interested, please contact Sergio.Lopez@eeas.europa.eu.
The EU-U.S. Emerging Leaders Program organizes one-week study visits to Brussels and one EU Member country for groups of emerging leaders who are less than 40 years of age and of diverse gender, social, economic, ethnic, and geographical backgrounds. Contact Sergio.Lopez@eeas.europa.eu for more information.
The European Union Visitors Program (EUVP) is another young leaders program that invites individual Americans with a career-related interest in the EU to visit Europe and gain a first-hand appreciation of the EU’s institutions, policies, and values. The EUVP offers tailor-made five to 10-day study tours in either Brussels, Paris, Strasbourg, and/or a city in another EU Member State.
The EU-U.S. Young Leaders Seminar is an event, co-financed by the European Commission and the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, that represents a unique opportunity for young leaders from across the United States and the European Union to discuss some of the most important issues facing both sides of the Atlantic.
In the Classroom
The Schuman Challenge is an academic competition for undergraduate students from U.S. colleges and universities to engage in rigorous dialogue on transatlantic issues. Student teams, under the guidance of a faculty mentor, analyse the opportunities and challenges for effective transatlantic implementation of one of the five priorities of the EU’s Global Strategy and present and defend their strategy in front of a panel of judges at the EU Delegation.
Launched in the United States in 2006, the Euro Challenge competition on European economic and monetary policy gives high school students the opportunity to learn about the euro, the single market, and other important concepts central to the European Union and macro/microeconomics.
Model EU simulations are an excellent way for high school and college students to learn about how EU institutions work. Participants are invited to represent one of the EU Member States at a European Council meeting or act as a Commissioner representing the European Commission. There are many ways to run Model EUs – toolkits are available on our website.
