Scandinavian school of Brussels - blog

Today the students that read the samhäll B and samhäll C cources went into Brussels to visit the EU parliament. The buss left from the school at 08.00 and due to the traffic we arrived around 09.00. After going though the security check we met up with Amelia Andersdotter, a young swedish parliament member. She is a member of the swedish party ¨Piratpartiet¨ . She told us about the work she is doing, her political views and about how her working days looked like. It was interesting to see such a young woman is the EU parliament and to be able to hear what she has to say about it. 

Later, her assistent gave us a tour of the building (which is huge and very easy to get lost in!). He showed us conference rooms and all of the different buildings. It's very exciting thinking about all of the important people who have been walking in these buildings and how many decisions have been made in the rooms that we visited. 

I have been at the EU parliament a couple of times before and I always find it as interesting. 

 

Here are some pictures that I took during the day:
