PREPARE
The participation in EUROPAS 2011 just like the participation in every other academic event requires a certain amount of preparation.
·
Knowledge of the rules of the procedure is absolutely essential for the participation. As soon as the application is accepted it is very important to start getting accustomed with the rules. Each MEP can either download them or they will be sent to them by the committee board.
·
Understanding the agenda is the next step to a fulfilling and successful presence at EUROPAS 2011. Each MEP will have to represent a political party and argue for its benefit on the committee’s agenda. Obviously, it is necessary to be fully aware of its party’s policy. The country’s benefits should be taken seriously into consideration as well. So clarifying the agenda will prove essential so as to have a fruitful debate. Preparing for the agenda will be based upon the study guides, papers regarding the topic of each committee, which will be the ground for further personal research. The study guides will be published after the closing of the registration period.
·
Preparing a more sophisticated vocabulary is also important. Of course the organizing committee, the committee board and the professors will provide everyone with any help needed. There is no reason at all for the total of participants to worry about their vocabulary or preparedness in order to participate in the simulation. The professors, the committee boards and the organizing committee will stand by the participants and provide assistance if and whenever needed. Moreover, before EUROPAS 2011 there would be mock sessions in order to practice your negotiation skills.
