Jesuit European Educational Project (JEEP)
A group of 7 first year high school students is participating from March 15 to March 20 in the Jesuit European Educational Project (JEEP) which this year will celebrate its 22 edition in the Vilnius Jesuit High School (Vilnius, Lithuania).
The JEEP is an international project of European Jesuit schools that, through the simulation of the work of the European Parliament, promotes the European awareness of our students and gives them the opportunity to participate in formal debates using English as a language of communication. However, they are learning to put into practice the processes of a democratic system.

The Jesuit European Educational Project (JEEP) is a simulation exercise of the European Parliament. The basic idea is that each school delegates 7 students and two accompanying teachers for a JEEP session. Each student must choose a specific committee (Health, Environment, Political, Media, etc), and each committee must deal with a particular issue: something that might have to be discussed in the European Parliament as well. In the months before the actual JEEP session, the students at the participating schools collect information on the committee subjects and exchange information and points of view via e-mail with the rest of the European participants.
This year the committees and the topics are:
Committee N°1. Culture and Education. Topic: Shaping a Safer Internet: The EU’s Next Step in Protecting Minors Online
Committee N°2. Environment, Public Health and Food Safety. Topic: Healthy Planet, Healthy People: Building a Greener and Fairer European Health Union
Committee N°3. Employment and Social Affairs, together with the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality. Topic: Closing the Gender Pay and Pension Gaps in the European Union
Committee N°4. Women’s Rights and Gender Equality (FEMM). Topic: Equal Power, Equal Voice: Women’s Participation and Safety in Europe
Committee N°5. Special Committee on the European Democracy Shield (EUDS). Topic: Stronger Voices, Safer Choices: Defending Democracy in the Digital Age
Committee N°6. Transport and Tourism (TRAN). Topic: Smart Connections: Greener Mobility and Responsible Tourism in the EU
Committee N°7. Foreign Affairs. Topic: Europe’s Global Role: Partnerships, Peace, and Democratic Values.
