The visits to Brussels are an essential component of the Classic three-week and the Advanced two-week seminars. They offer participants the chance to experience the EU scene and give a ‘face’ to the subject of their study during the seminar.

Participants of the three-week programme visit the European Commission (Berlaymont) and the European Parliament to meet with EU officials and discuss the working practices of the EU.

A second visit is organised in the Council of the EU, where the participants have the opportunity to play the role of a negotiator during a simulation game.
