About one hundred secondary school students and teachers from most of the EU Member States (unfortunately 9 schools got stuck in through the European flight ban due to the eruption of a volcano in Iceland) came to Brussels from 15-17 April to participate in a simulated plenary session. This gave them an unique opportunity to debate a specific topic, stand up for what they believe, negotiate with other "extraordinary members" of the Committee and work with them to hammer out a consensus during a big plenary session in Brussels.
