The Museum of the Hungarian Parliament organised the event for higher education students aiming to model legislative work, the “Model of Parliament” (Mint-a-Parlament) on 20 November 2024. In line with the Hungarian presidency of the Council of the European Union, the organisers were looking for proposals from the applicant groups that would approach the priorities set by the Hungarian presidency in a way that could be regulated in Hungarian legislation, adapted to the Hungarian situation. From the proposals received, the expert staff of the Office of the Hungarian National Assembly recommended for discussion the following with the title: ‘Amending Act I of 2012 on the Labour Code to ensure stability and sustainability at work for the improvement of European competitiveness’. On 20 November students from the Károli Gáspár University of the Reformed Church in Hungary, the Széchenyi István University and the Ludovika University of Public Service debated the legislative proposal in the Building of the Parliament, which was adopted as the final stage of the modelling.

The Museum of the Hungarian Parliament offers a wide range of programmes to promote responsible citizenship, also for primary and secondary school students. For more information (available in Hungarian), please visit the website of the Museum of the Hungarian Parliament.
