SNAP
National Simulation
of the Parliamentary Assembly
SNAP is the simulation of the House of Representatives, a three-day marathon in which you will play the role of a Member of the Republic. You will be part of a parliamentary group, along with other peers from other schools. The aim of the simulation is to debate, write and approve a bill, on one of the issues that faces in this legislature the “real” Chamber of Deputies. And to make everything more fun there will be crises, which you will have to face and manage with competence and cold blood, taking urgent measures to solve the emergency. SNAP takes place in Italian and is intended for high school students.
How it takes place SNAP?
You will start working as a Member of Parliament in your parliamentary group, coordinated by the United Network staff, composed of university students with years of experience in running simulations, always ready to help and encourage you. You will be a Deputy of the Italian Republic, so remember the formal dress: jacket and tie for boys and suit for girls. At the end of the three days of work, you will vote on the bills that you will have elaborated during the simulation. And to conclude, honorable mentions will be awarded to the deputies who have most distinguished themselves during the three days. If you have the makings of a true leader, you could be among them!
The Training
To best address the simulation, you will attend, in the months leading up to the simulation, the training course. The training course consists of an 8-hour training day. Learning how institutions work will be easy and above all fun.
