About this grant

Euroscola is a European Parliament school programme: a class spends a day in Strasbourg playing MEPs. The school takes part, not an individual pupil; the group is 10 to 24 pupils and 1–2 accompanying adults. Parliament makes a financial contribution to the group's travel and accommodation and the school itself organises the trip.

Selection is made by the European Parliament's office in your country among schools' applications. The age is at least 14 on the date of the visit (per the programme's FAQ). If you are interested in EU politics, suggest to your teacher that they apply for your class.

Steps

  1. 1

    Check that your school (or class) can take part: any secondary school in the EU, an applicant country or a former Member State; participants must be at least 14 on the visit date.

  2. 2

    Talk to a teacher: the school (class) applies, not an individual pupil.

  3. 3

    Form the group: 10 to 24 pupils and 1–2 accompanying adults.

  4. 4

    The school applies to the European Parliament's office in your country: it does the selecting.

  5. 5

    If the group is chosen, the school organises the trip: the Parliament contributes to travel and lodging.

What exactly to submit

Documents and materials to attach to the application.

  • The school's (class's) application to the European Parliament's office
  • The group list: 10–24 pupils and 1–2 accompanying adults
  • Proof that participants are at least 14 on the visit date

Example

Example (written by us): a history teacher with a class of 20 pupils applies to the European Parliament's office; after selection the school organises the trip and the Parliament pays part of travel and lodging.

An example we wrote to illustrate: it is not an official sample, replace the details with your own.

How applicants are chosen

The European Parliament's office in your country selects among schools' applications; a school takes part with a group, not an individual pupil.

What happens after you apply

The Parliament makes a financial contribution to the group's travel and lodging (10–24 pupils and 1–2 adults); the school organises the trip. Age limit: at least 14 on the visit date (per the programme's FAQ).

Common mistakes

  • Trying to apply as an individual pupil: the school (class) takes part
  • Missing the group size: 10–24 pupils and 1–2 adults
  • Expecting the Parliament to cover everything: it contributes, the school organises the trip
