On 22 October AEGEE-Yerevan Youth NGO and the EU Delegation to Armenia organized the “Model European Union 2011” (MEU 2011). Around 35 Armenian students were selected to participate in the event through competitive procedure from various regions of Armenia. The aim of the conference was to stimulate civic activism and improve EU knowledge among young people.

During the Conference the participants undertook the roles of Heads of State and Government of the 27 EU Member States as well as the EU high-level officials. The delegates made their decisions in the context of the current political forces and pressures within the EU member states, taking into account the national interests of the states they were representing.

Mr. Onno Simons, the Head of the Political, Economic, Press and Information Section of the EU Delegation to Armenia, who participated in the official opening and closing ceremonies of the conference, emphasized in his welcoming speech the importance of organizing such kind of events and asked the participants to be constructive and actively participate in all activities of the conference. The event was organized in Armenia for the first time and is planned to become annual. Many members of IPWG, including our Secretary Armenak Minasyants, who was the main organizer of the event, participated in this wonderful event and in IPWG we truly believe that such events shall be promoted around our Network and would be useful for many and many locals.
