MEP Peter Agius has started a Study Visits Programme which gives 50 Maltese students a unique opportunity to experience the European Parliament firsthand. This initiative fulfills MEP Agius’ promise to increase access to EU opportunities for Maltese youth and organizations.
“I want to open the doors wide open for the Youths in Europe,” MEP Peter Agius says at the program’s launch that took place at Europe House in Valletta.
The program provides students with a chance to:
- Shadow MEP Peter Agius: Gain valuable insights into the daily workings of the European Parliament.
- Access Parliament Resources: Explore the research facilities and resources available within the Brussels institution.
- Immerse in European Democracy: Experience and learn about the democratic processes at play within the European Parliament.
Who is this programme perfect for?
Students with a strong European focus in their studies or future careers can join the Study Visits Programme for a practical experience of the EU. Programs can last from one to three weeks, depending on individual needs.
Financial and logistical support
The programme offers a €700 stipend to cover basic travel and accommodation expenses. While students are responsible for booking their travel and accommodation, the programme will provide help with finding suitable options in Brussels.
Selection process
Interested students can find full details and application instructions on MEP Peter Agius’ website.
Students must submit a brief statement, explaining how the program will benefit their academic or professional goals. A selection board will then interview applicants to choose students and schedule their visits.
This program presents an exciting opportunity for youths to gain insights into the European Parliament and broaden their understanding of the EU.
