The West Coast Model European Union is an annual simulation of a European Council summit, bringing together undergraduate students from across the United States and Canada. Students, in teams of two, play the roles of representatives of European Union Member State delegations. Participants negotiate two issues of concern for the country holding the Presidency. This is an excellent opportunity for students to develop several skills including negotiating, public speaking, and diplomacy. Students are required to conduct in-depth research on the agenda items and their country’s positions and prepare a policy position paper and a draft resolution prior to the event. This experience is an excellent networking opportunity for students with similar interests. Please see the University of Washington website for more information about the West Coast Model EU.
