Model European Parliament
Baltic Sea Region
Copenhagen 2012
Dear MEP BSR Copenhagen delegates, teachers/directors/organizers and guests,
We come together here in Copenhagen, Denmark this week to discuss current political issues reaching across frontiers and cultural differences. Issues which influence us all to a greater extent than most are aware of. As we speak, Denmark holds the Presidency of the Council of the European Union for the seventh time in
Copenhagen 2012 March 27rd- April 1st, 2012
history. In what is probably the most challenging time in the history of the European Union, it is now more than ever, an important responsibility. Due to the extensive crisis we are currently facing, many difficult decisions have to be made. More than ever, there is a need for all European countries to support each other in order to ensure future collaboration and mutual respect. With this in mind, time for reflecting, discussing, and understanding each other is vital. It is indispensable to spend time and energy in listening to one another in order to encourage further co-operation between countries in the European Union, and not least between the countries of the Baltic Sea region.
Currently we are facing many challenges which should be dealt with by regional co-operation. One of many issues that come to mind is youth unemployment. In the light of past years ´ economic hardship, there is an urgent need to address the severe problems caused by the continuous drop in youth employment in many European countries. The subject will be covered in this parliamentary session by The Committee on Employment and Social Affairs.
The Committee on Industry, Research and Energy will address another interesting and highly relevant issue concerning the question of how to maintain a European social model in the future. How can we ensure a continuous growth in innovation, research and new technology, to help us face the challenges of globalization?
In continuation The Committee on Culture and Education will attend to the question of how young people are educated to become global citizens. In a globalized world cross-border cooperation is indispensable. In order to facilitate international communication and collaboration, it is necessary to incorporate such an understanding into the educational systems of Europe.
The Committee on Poverty and Exclusion will discuss how the European countries can improve development policies, in order for the much needed humanitarian aid to be effective in helping developing countries out of poverty. Since The European Union is a big trade organization and plays a dominant role on the international markets, it is important to be aware of the effects our policies have on trade and possibility of growth especially in developing countries.
Last, but not least, it is of uttermost importance to address the incessant environmental challenges we are all facing. The Committee on Environment, Public Health and Food Safety will deal with the question of how to create a sustainable environment in the cities and regions of Europe. Although it is an issue that has been discussed continuously for many years, it is without doubt still very “hot”, so to speak.
In conclusion, it is obvious that you are here to discuss important issues of today’s modern world. You are here to learn from each other, to exchange ideas that are vital for the future of Europe. I strongly urge you all to take this unique opportunity to express and develop your ideas in co-operation with other young students from Europe. Last but not least, I urge you to enjoy this week to the full; it will pass more quickly than you think. - Welcome to The Model European Parliament Baltic Sea Region 2012 in Copenhagen!
Sincerely,Petra Buer Gram, President of the General Assembly

The Model European Parliament (MEP) concept and methodologyThe Model European Parliament program is a leadership program for youth in the 27 EU countries, set up in 1994 with a secretariat in The Hague, NL. The aim of the program is to educate young people at high school level about European integration and cooperation, and to develop their understanding of common issues as well as provide them with knowledge about EU’s institutions. The program develops political awareness and an understanding for Europe’s cultural diversity.
The MEP program has successfully expanded into regional organizations in several parts of Europe. In 2004 a regional organization was set up in the Baltic Sea Region by schools/institutions in Finland, Sweden, Lithuania and DK, and at present we have been joined by schools/institutions in Estonia, Latvia, St. Petersburg, Russia, Poland and Germany as well. From 2009 Iceland, Norway and Kaliningrad will be invited to join the organization too. The program is a training ground for future leaders and politicians as well as for talented students who share an interest in European issues.
The vision of the MEP Baltic Sea Organization is:
- Build relationships between youth in the Baltic Sea Region
- Penetrate common Baltic Sea and Nordic issues- Give insight into each individual’s potential to affect society’s development- Focus on trade, industry, politics and culture and social affairs- Give insight into modern democracy and the parliamentary system, using the European
Parliament as an example- Develop debating skills in large international forums
The working language during the MEP is English. 10 students are chosen to represent each member country, and together they comprise a delegation. Each delegate represents his/her native country in a committee, which discusses international issues, and each committee has a specified subject to discuss. The common goal is to write a resolution that they can support and defend in the General Assembly (the youth parliament).
The MEP program is also a cultural and social event, which gives the participants the opportunity to experience the diversity of the countries around the Baltic Sea and be part of numerous social events, such as teambuilding, sightseeing along with living with a family in the host country.
The sessions take place twice a year in the Baltic Sea Region and since the start of the organization they have taken place in Stockholm, Copenhagen, Bremen, Tallinn, Copenhagen/Malmoe, Helsinki, Riga, St. Petersburg, Ilawa/Torun, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Kaliningrad, Vilnius and Gdansk/Gdynia.
