The European Movement International (EMI) Training Academy is a training course for students interested in EU affairs who want to broaden their knowledge of the EU and learn about the reality of working in Brussels, be it in the Institutions, lobbies or NGOs. It is a unique occasion to leave textbooks and classrooms and to meet professionals, visit the Institutions and discover Brussels. Thanks to the EMI’s extensive network, students have the opportunity to meet high-level speakers and discuss a broad range of topics in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Last but not least, it is a great multicultural experience!

 

So join us in Brussels and meet officials from the European Parliament, Commission and Council. Speak to experts from the European External Action Service, the EESC, EU Lobbies, political parties and NGOs! Discover what it’s really like to work for the EU! Make some interesting contacts and friends from all over Europe!

 

Applicants are required to send a full CV (including date of birth) and a motivation letter in English. All lectures are in English, so you should have a very good level of written and spoken English. You should also have a sound knowledge of the European Union, and most of all: be enthusiastic and motivated!

 

This training is aimed at university students and recent graduates. The age limit is therefore 30 years.

 

The deadline for registrations is 30 August 2012.

 

The registration fee is of 750€ and includes accommodation, local transport and meals. If you prefer to find your own accommodation, you can pay a reduced fee of 450€. This does not include travel to and from Brussels. Members of the youth organisations JEF (www.jef.eu) and AEGEE (www.aegee.org) are entitled to a reduction of the costs as these are member associations of the EMI (you can ask us to help you become a member).
