"EU Model is a unique opportunity to extend your knowledge. As a participant, I had an opportunity to meet not only many interesting guests, but also other university students from the whole Czech Republic. One goes richer in new knowledge, diplomatic skills and new friends :-) I highly recommend Model EU!"
Jan Husák, Greece 2008
"The EU Model has been very beneficial for me including the workshops with interesting guests and also the simulation of the negotiations in the Congress Centre. In addition I have met a good group of people which is very important and I am glad that we are still in the contact. I even cooperate at some other projects with them."
Markéta Nepokojová, Luxembourg 2008
"The EU Model of which I have been a participant was an unforgettable experience. Not only I have had an opportunity to get to know more about decision-making of the Council of the Ministers but also to try the real negotiations (sometimes very long ). It was also a great opportunity to meet wonderful people!"
Lucie Polívková, Portugal 2008
"Thanks to the Student Summit I have got new friends and I have learned that even in the "high politics" there sometimes can be fun. Even very serious problems could be resolved with an opened mind."
Dagmar Zadražilová, Ireland 2008
"A person gains a lot at the EU Model. The greatest benefit I consider is meeting many new and interesting people, both students and professionals. Furthermore, I appreciate the experience of real diplomatic negotiations and I can not forget the interesting information from workshops and discussions. "
Vladimír Beroun, Estonia 2007
"The project EU Model not only led to a substantial increase of my interest about what is happening in certain EU countries, but also helped me understand many aspects of their foreign policies. Preparatory workshops have offered me a great opportunity to talk with the experts and prominent personalities of foreign policy. The project was incredibly interesting and can hardly be characterized only with a few sentences. So I highly recommend everyone to take advantage of this excellent opportunity and to participate! "
Tomáš Hülle, Bulgaria 2007
"I think that the EU Model is an extraordinary experience, I would recommend to everyone. It's an opportunity to become familiar with the current issues concerning the European Union and to learn how to find a comprimise in a short time. The books can never give you what the reality can. "
Jan Kužvart, Cyprus 2007
“EU Model has been a very valuable experience for me that allowed me to realize how difficult it is to be a part of an organ with 27 member states with different point of view and to reach consensus on any issue discussed. Now I know that successful negotiations are impossible without concessions, quibbles, compromises and exhaustion of all negotiating parties (who finally agree on something initially unacceptable for them). Model of the European Union is thus a good opportunity to test your negotiating skills and knowledges at the field of EU in practice. "
Michael Stein, Ireland 2007
"The work of political institutions can be understood in a different way than attending university courses."
