Students from the Gaudí Institute in Reus participated this February 18 in the Meet the European Parliament activity, a digital immersion designed to teach the workings of EU democracy.

Organized by the European Parliament Office in Barcelona and developed by Learn to Check, the session allowed students to simulate the entire legislative cycle. Participants engaged in committee debates, political negotiations, and final voting sessions, mirroring the real-world operations of the European Parliament.

"The experience was much better than a theoretical class because we had to defend a position, negotiate with other groups, and reach agreements."
