European Camp Bruxelles

European Camp – Bruxelles is an educational project aimed at Italian high school students, designed to bring them closer to the institutions of the European Union in a concrete way.

The program lasts 4 days and 3 nights, takes place entirely in Bruxelles, and is held in English, offering an immersive experience in the political capital of Europe.

At the heart of the project is a simulation of the European Parliament, during which students engage in debates on current issues, developing critical thinking, argumentative skills, and teamwork through the learning-by-doing method.

In addition to the simulation, the Bruxelles European Camp includes a visit to the European Parliament and a cultural itinerary through the city’s most significant landmarks, allowing participants to better understand the history, identity, and political role of Bruxelles.

The project is designed to foster the development of soft skills, strengthen civic awareness, and promote an open, inclusive, and active European vision — a unique opportunity to learn how to communicate, decide, and cooperate in an international context.
