For the best delegates of each National Session the experience as M.E.P. delegates does not end: they have the amazing experience of the International Session, which takes place twice a year, every time in a different European city. They meet with other M.E.P. delegates coming not only from the Member States of the EU, but also form the “Candidate Countries” (Turkey, Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia) and the “Potential Candidate Countries” (Albania, Bosnia-Erzegovina, Kosovo).
An International Session is very similar to the National Session delegates have already experienced, with just two differences: delegates have to use English to debate and to write the Resolution Booklet; the preparation level of the delegates is even higher, having they been selected with great accuracy.
Although only a limited number of delegates takes part in an International Session, the extension of the M.E.P. net in Europe makes it possible for thousands of students to get involved in this project in at least one Session.
THE M.E.P. INTERNATIONAL SESSIONS IN ITALY
In 1997 the International Session was organised in Carpi, Modena, and Bologna (Oct 18th-26th). It was honoured with the Alto Patronato (High Patronage) of the President of the Italian Republic, and the President Oscar Luigi Scalfaro himself received at Quirinale the delegations of the young European students and the Members of the M.E.P. Italia Association.
In 2007 Roma was chosen as the hosting-city for the International Session, which lasted from Nov 24th to Dec 1st.
The last International Session taking place in Italy was organised in Napoli (Mar 21st-28th, 2015) and received the High Patronage of the European Parliament.
