  • Guidelines for Teachers Module 6 - European Parliament Role Play Game
    GUIDELINES FOR TEACHERS MODULE 6 - EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT ROLE PLAY GAME This role play game puts your pupils in the shoes of a Member of the European Parliament. For one to two hours, your classroom becomes the European Parliament itself, and your pupils discuss how they would tackle current EU topics like global warming, tobacco rules and an EU army. This role play game will help your pupils to develop their democratic skills. These skills include developing a critical opinion, debating skills and learning to make compromises. First, pupils work in smaller groups - parliamentary committees - on a legislative proposal from the European Commission. They use a game board with thematic cards. While amending the legislative proposal, they must take into account the different points of view of the Council of the European Union and other stakeholders. There are five topics to choose from, of different difficulty levels. Second, there is a plenary debate in class, where the groups present their adapted laws. This is followed by a class vote. Finally, there is a thorough debriefing and evaluation of the role play game, pointing out the similarities and differences between the classroom exercise and reality. METHODOLOGY DURATION MATERIALS Role play game: work 25 mins - Game board for each group in parliamentary committees - Worksheet for each group - Set of theme cards for each group. The cards need to be printed on one side and cut out. - Thematic legislative proposal of the European Commission for each group. Role play game: 10 mins per - Blackboard/flipchart + chalk/marker plenary debate and theme vote - Filled-in worksheet for each group Debriefing and 15 mins to 1 - Computer + projector evaluation hour - Presentation of part 6 Disclaimer Neither the form nor the content of this exercise offer a complete and correct representation of reality, nor do they represent the actual points of view of the European Parliament, the European Commission, the Council of the European Union or the lobby groups.

  • 1 Eusa Biennial Conference, Montreal, May 2007
    EUSA BIENNIAL CONFERENCE, MONTREAL, MAY 2007 Communicating Europe: why so controversial? The Parliament’s webTV project MICHAEL SHACKLETON Secretariat of the European Parliament Brussels, Belgium1 Introduction The rejection of the European Constitution by French and Dutch voters in the early summer of 2005 provoked much soul-searching within the EU institutions. A lengthy period of reflection began, with everyone very uncertain about what to do next. However, such uncertainty was not synonymous with inactivity. A rather broad consensus held that the institutions had to do much more to communicate what they were doing. 70% of Europe’s citizens claimed to know very little or practically nothing about the EU and so most felt that an improved information effort was one of the ways to fill the perceived gap between the Brussels world and everybody else. After all, the EU was still producing plenty of legislation, often on highly controversial subjects, such as Reach and the Services Directive, but apparently only a minority of the citizens knew what was happening or realised that it was relevant to them. The best-known proposals developed to improve the flow of information and to reduce the gap emerged from the Commission. Margot Wallstrom, Vice-President of the Commission, put forward a series of ideas in 2005 and 2006 under the overall title of Plan D for Democracy, Dialogue and Debate, designed to coordinate the institutions’ communication strategy. However, there was much activity beyond the corridors of the Commission. This paper will concentrate on the European Parliament’s efforts to create a webTV channel, designed to enable EU citizens to know and understand better what the Parliament they elected is doing.
