Humenne Local Model European Parliament

The MEP simulates sessions held in the European Parliament in Brussels and Strasbourg. Participation in one of these sessions gives students an insight into the work of the European Parliament and other institutions. It also helps bring about a sense of European identity and citizenship. The working language during this two-day long session is English. Over 30 two-men delegations of the European Union member countries and delegations of the Observer countries meet to discuss topical political issues, which they have researched prior to the conference. They are debated at the General Assembly of the MEP. During the simulation, the participants will have the chance to learn about other countries' positions towards the EU and experience a truly international working environment. The Model European Parliament is much more than just a non-formal learning process focused on the European Union. Participants will have the possibility to practice and improve their negotiation strategies as well as to upgrade their English language skills. Moreover, they can experience a truly European atmosphere.

STOP, La entrada es la Salida

El proyecto, es una asociaci?n de j?venes de nueva creaci?n integrado por Diana Karen D?az Ramos, Mar?a Jos? Ruiz P?rez, Aldo Sa?l G?mez Parada y Jos? Williams L?pez Santiago, con el fin de prevenir a los adolescentes se inicien en el alcoholismo, que por diversos motivos son m?s propensos a involucrarse a esta enfermedad. Nos enfocamos en este tipo de poblaci?n porque San Crist?bal de Las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico es una comunidad peque?a, la mayor?a de su poblaci?n es gente ind?gena y los estereotipos en este grupo de poblaci?n marcan que las personas de respeto deben de consumir bebidas alcoh?licas a temprana edad como s?mbolo de madurez, por lo cual nosotros somos la entrada hacia una perspectiva de ver el consumo de esta sustancia, que no hay necesidad de tomarse un trago para divertirse o de embriagarse para sentirse aceptado, pero antes de combatir con este problema social, tenemos que salir de todos esos estereotipos que marcan a nuestra comunidad. Con este proyecto esperamos que se reduzca el n?mero de j?venes que abusan del consumo de sustancias alcoh?licas. OBJETIVOS DEL PROYECTO: ? Crear una cultura de NO abuso de sustancias alcoh?licas entre los j?venes menores de edad de entre los 13 a los 17 a?os. ? Promover actividades culturales, deportivas y recreativas en los j?venes con el fin de no caer en el consumo de sustancias alcoh?licas. ? Concientizar y promover los valores a los j?venes sobre la realidad que implica el abuso excesivo de sustancias alcoh?licas.
