Model European Parliament

Baltic Sea Region

Kaliningrad 2010

Dear MEP BSR Kaliningrad delegates, teachers/directors/organizers and guests,

Kaliningrad 2010 Oct. 25th-Oct. 30th, 2010

We come together here in Kaliningrad, Russia, this week to discuss current political issues reaching across frontiers and cultural differences. Issues which influence us all to a greater extent than most are aware of. We all know that cross-border co-operation is essential if we want to meet the challenges of a globalized world. With this in mind, time for reflecting, discussing, and understanding each other is vital. It is indispensable to spend time and energy in listening to one another in order to encourage further collaboration between countries in the European Union, and not least between the countries of the Baltic Sea region.

Currently we are facing many challenges which should be dealt with by regional co-operation. First of which comes to mind, is the environmental challenges of our planet. There is an urgent need to address the conservation of our local environment. The subject will be covered in this parliamentary session by The Committee on Power Engineering and Environment of the Baltic Sea.

Another important issue concerns multicultural education. In order to allow for youngsters to study in other countries and thereby enhance our mutual understanding, our educational systems should be reviewed. The Committee on Education and Culture will address the possibility of aligning the educational systems and thereby furthering dialogue of cultures.

In continuation of discussing intercultural education The Committee on Regional Development will attend to the question of establishing a visa-free regime for the Baltic Sea region. Addressing this issue could, amongst other things, contribute to better cultural and scientific relations and improve trade and economics between the countries in the region.

Many economies in Europe are based largely on the agricultural sector, for this reason co-operation on this subject is necessary. The Committee on Agriculture and Agro-industrial Complex Development will deal with questions concerning the development of rural areas, agricultural economics and agro-tourism.

A significant development has taken place in the last decades and media is playing an increasingly important role in politics and life today. This is why The Committee on the Role of New Media will discuss the challenges of major media influence in a democratic society and the increasing use of social media and its potential pitfalls.

In conclusion, it is obvious that you are here to discuss important issues of today’s modern world. You are here to learn from each other, to exchange ideas that are vital for the future of Europe. I strongly urge you all to take this unique opportunity to express and develop your ideas in co-operation with other young students from Europe. Last but not least, I urge you to enjoy this week to the full; it will pass more quickly than you think.

Welcome to The Model European Parliament Baltic Sea Region 2010 in Kaliningrad!

Sincerely,

Petra Buer Gram

President of the General Assembly

The Model European Parliament (MEP) concept and methodologyThe Model European Parliament program is a leadership program for youth in the 27 EU countries, set up in 1994 with a secretariat in The Hague, NL. The aim of the program is to educate young people at high school level about European integration and cooperation, and to develop their understanding of common issues as well as provide them with knowledge about EU’s institutions. The program develops political awareness and an understanding for Europe’s cultural diversity.

The MEP program has successfully expanded into regional organizations in several parts of Europe. In 2004 a regional organization was set up in the Baltic Sea Region by schools/institutions in Finland, Sweden, Lithuania and DK, and at present we have been joined by schools/institutions in Estonia, Latvia, St. Petersburg, Russia, Poland and Germany as well. From 2009 Iceland, Norway and Kaliningrad will be invited to join the organization too. The program is a training ground for future leaders and politicians as well as for talented students who share an interest in European issues.

The vision of the MEP Baltic Sea Organization is:

- Build relationships between youth in the Baltic Sea Region

- Penetrate common Baltic Sea and Nordic issues

- Give insight into each individual’s potential to affect society’s development

- Focus on trade, industry, politics and culture and social affairs

- Give insight into modern democracy and the parliamentary system, using the European Parliament as an example

- Develop debating skills in large international forums

The working language during the MEP is English. 10 students are chosen to represent each member country, and together they comprise a delegation. Each delegate represents his/her native country in a committee, which discusses international issues, and each committee has a specified subject to discuss. The common goal is to write a resolution that they can support and defend in the General Assembly (the youth parliament).

The MEP program is also a cultural and social event, which gives the participants the opportunity to experience the diversity of the countries around the Baltic Sea and be part of numerous social events, such as teambuilding, sightseeing along with living with a family in the host country.

21


The sessions take place twice a year in the Baltic Sea Region and since the start of the organizations they have taken place in Stockholm, Copenhagen, Bremen, Tallinn, Copenhagen/Malmoe, Helsinki, Riga, St. Petersburg, Ilawa/Torun, Copenhagen, Stockholm and Kaliningrad .

Pedagogically the MEP program focuses on:

a) Individual ICT introduction to EU institutions and to specific topics (links)

b) Study program before the sessions in class/groups

c) Workshops/committee work run by experienced students and delegates

d) Project work/written resolutions in English

e) Debating and rhetoric skills

f) Intercultural skills and competencies

g) The experience of an advanced and realistic role play (as a learning method)

The MEP BSR office is located in Copenhagen, DK, and run by an administrative coordinator. More information about MEP BSR and sessions at www.mep.se Enclosed here please find material and guidelines in preparation of MEP conferences at the national, regional and international levels.
