European Parliment

Hazelwood College Transition Year student Sam Long was confirmed last Thursday as having secured a four day trip to Strasbourg, to witness, first hand, the workings of the European Parliament. Sam won one of the twenty four coveted spots, reserved for Irish students, in a competition sponsored by the South and East Regional Assembly. The competition focused on the civic awareness of students. Sam was assisted in his entry by his teacher Ms. Margaret Griffin.

Sam, and the other 23 Irish students and three supervising teachers, will visit Strasbourg in the spring and attend sessions of the European Parliament, before participating in Euroscoia, which is a youth parliament comprising of students from all twenty seven member states. Euroscoia members debate issues relevant to young people from across the European Union and the role of the institutions of the European Union in charting a course to improving the lives of its citizens.

The trip, which is thanks to the sponsorship of the Southern and Eastern Regional Assembly, promises to be a rewarding experience and will allow Sam to increase to meet students from across Ireland and across the European Union, while also developing his knowledge of the political, civic and social outlook for Ireland and of Europe..
