Nine Year 12 students from Clevedon’s
Sixth Form travelled to Liverpool to represent the South West of England in the
four day National finals of the European Youth Parliament. Having already won
the regional final at Exeter University in April, beating eight other schools
from across the south west, the students took part in a series of committees, formulating
and debating resolutions at Liverpool Hope University against some of the most
prestigious state and private schools from across the country.
Jack Banks, one of the nine students
involved described the event as: “not only a fantastic academic opportunity
but also a fantastic social experience, which I will always remember. Through
taking part in the national Final I am now looking forward to the next step
where we may be invited to take part in international debates across Europe
including the Netherlands, Germany and Slovakia and pit our wits and debating
skills against Europe’s finest young political minds”
