EP Generation: the Way Towards Europe, European Parliament and Me: 50 Years after Treaty of Rome

Project Manager:  Věra Řiháčková

Timeframe: completed (March 2007 - February 2008)

Executive Summary:

The project aimed to increase public knowledge of the role and work of European Parliament among the Czech public sphere. The role and functioning of the European Parliament is generally overlooked within the Czech EU debate; moreover, the last EP electoral participation fell deep bellow the European average. The project focused on the 17-23 age group. We offered a series of thirteen regional debates for the public, thirteen seminars for high school students (one in each of the Czech regions), an international conference, a summer school dedicated to the study of European parliament facilitated by the International Politics Institute of Masaryk University, and regularly published press releases, analyses, and a link dossier on EP on www.euractiv.cz.
