Nathan Panza!
I learnt how to work as a member of a
committee. Our job was to discuss and try to find solutions to
various social problems. I also got an insight into what an MEP has
to do.
I loved the team building, meeting new
people of my own age, and the fact that the General Assembly took
place at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris.
The worst moment was when we had to
work from midnight to past 2 o’clock in the morning to finish our
work, and then get up at six, on a Sunday! I was exhausted when we
got back to the Auvergne!
The weekend in Sèvres just did not last
long enough because we really had a lot of fun.
It wasn’t hard to be get along with
everybody or to communicate. The Chairs (they managed the committees)
spoke English almost all the time and I sometimes translated for the
other pupils on my committee. That made me popular!
It was a great experience meeting other
pupils and taking responsibility for something. I would go back right
now if I had the opportunity! It was a fun trip since I made lots of
friends during that weekend. I will keep in touch with some of them.
The great majority of the delegates
were from French Lycées, but there were also Greeks, and they were very nice.
This experience made me discover
what it means to be "European"
and how great it is just to meet people from other countries.
