The atmosphere of a special occasion was felt in the hallways of the Olivar Gran High School since the mayor of Figueres and the center's director inaugurated the Figueres European Congress. This event, known as FEC, requires a year of preparation and reorganizes the center's structure during the sessions.
The institute is converted for two days into a European Parliament for Baccalaureate students where the same topics are debated that could be discussed in the plenary sessions of Strasbourg or Brussels
The initiative goes beyond simulation, as families in Figueres hosted students and teachers from various countries across Europe, including Spain, France, Poland, Romania, and Lithuania.
One of the most notable aspects is that the FEC is entirely organized by the high school students, who set up the structural framework for the two days through almost weekly meetings, each contributing their particular talent.
After two days of success, the congress concluded with intense debates, arguments, consensus, and discussions between antagonistic viewpoints, strengthening interpersonal knowledge and the creation of bonds among the young Europeans.
