EMI TRAINING ACADEMY
The EMI Training Academy is a high-level, tailor-made training course on the workings of the EU institutions and on programmes available to university students.

The European Movement International, with its growing network of 42 National Councils and 31 International member associations across Europe has direct access to professionals of the EU structure at all levels, making the EMI Training Academy the perfect tool for students who want to pursue a career in EU affairs, or who want to perfect their knowledge of the EU.

During the one-week course, students meet with officials from the EU institutions, professionals from European civil society organisations and consultants based in Brussels, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

The programme is the following
Monday 19 September: arrivals + evening dinner at a restaurant
Tuesday 20 – Friday 23 September: seminars and evening dinner (+ some free afternoons to visit Brussels and surroundings)
Saturday 24 September: free time + evening dinner
Sunday 25 September: departures

Themes of lectures foreseen
EU Environment and Energy Policy
EU Enlargement and Neighbourhood policy
The work of European political parties
The EU institutions from the inside and decision-making process (+ visits of the Institutions)
Programmes available to Youth through the EU and Civil Society Organisations
Lobbying and Networking
The Role of Civil Society in the EU construction process and its future development

The EMI Training Academy is more than a professional experience, it’s also a great way to discover Brussels and to make new international contacts!

This training is aimed at university students / recent graduates, with little or no professional experience, the age limit is therefore 30 years.

The training is also open to non-EU citizens.
