The European Parliament Ambassador School Programme is now in its fourth year and over seven hundred schools across the EU have completed the programme. Sixty secondary schools in Ireland are taking part this year. The programme reaches out to students and first-time voters and aims to increase awareness of Europe, citizenship and political choice among young people.
