Role-play EU decision-making

Role-play EU decision-making is a game aimed at school classes, student associations, groups of employees and anyone else who wants to better understand the EU’s democratic decision-making process. The role-playing game is a perfect introduction to a larger EU project or as a standalone activity.

Students play the part of ministers from EU member states. On one hand, they need to take their national interests into consideration. On the other, they should allow the European legislative process to run smoothly.  The aim of the meeting is to reach a decision on the legislative proposal concerning the ingredients in chocolate. The proposal will only be adopted if both the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament agree on the definitive wording. During the meeting, the European Parliament informs the Council of its position regarding the Chocolate directive.
