Bénédicte's PEJ experience!

 Bénédicte & Lucile: indignados!

I learnt many things about Europe: its anthem, how the Parliament and Commission function, etc., and the purpose of the EU generally.

I also learnt to work on quite unfamiliar subjects with people I had never met before. We got to know each other and got over being embarrassed through team building games; they were great fun. They were a good way to release the pressure and apprehension, and just to relax. Our team spirit then allowed us to work more efficiently in our committees. Coming up with new ideas in our committee, which was about the practice of sport in Europe, was quite difficult because a lot of progress has already been made over the last few years in this sector.

Taking part in a National Session of the EYP brought me a bit more confidence in my public speaking skills plus I learnt some vocabulary.

We had to give ourselves completly during these three days despite being tired. We had to be in shape for the different events like the Eurovillage and the general assembly.

We were disappointed not to win this Session of the EYP, but the winners are people we appreciated a lot so that is OK.
