First lesson learnt

After a few days to know each other, thanks to activities of teambuilding, the sightseeing of the city of Milan and the Holy Mess celebrated all together at the Church of Santa Maria del Carmine, the seven European committees are ready to start their work and to think about important issues concerning world trade, food and sustainability, in order to find resolutions suitable for all the participating countries and at the same time that can increase the economy of the European Union.

The spirit of the students is very positive and favorable, they have accepted the challenge and started working well since day one. We can all agree on the fact that in every group, whether it is of people or nations, there is always somebody stronger than the others, but this doesn't necessarily mean that you can't have your own voice within the group, it just implies that you'll have to do your best to value your ideas and propositions. This is the first lesson the students learnt: it doesn't matter who you are or where do you come from, you have the power to say what you want and need and you must achieve it respecting the others and their positions, knowing that we are all equal, even though we speak different languages, we have different cultures and ambitions. Here at the JEEP every committee became a team working with respect and awareness of their rights and duties.
