“Model of Parliament” (Mint-a-Parlament) in the Parliament building in line with the priorities of the Hungarian presidency
4 November 2024
This year, the Museum of the Hungarian Parliament organises the event for higher education students aiming to model legislative work, the “Model of Parliament” (Mint-a-Parlament) on 20 November. The programme follows the preparation of a bill written by the students themselves, from the general debate to the final vote and the following press conference.
In line with the topics in the priorities of 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. The expert staff of the Office of the Hungarian National Assembly evaluated the received proposals and selected the most worthy of discussion during the session. As a result, this year students will decide on amendments to the Labour Code in the spirit of workplace stability and sustainability, as well as the development of European competitiveness.
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.
