Meeting in the Parliament
On March the 27th, 2015 in the framework of the "We and power" project our high-school students made a tour to the highest legislative body of Ukraine - the Verkhovna Rada - where they saw the parliamentary committees and received their internship program.
At the round table they discussed the following issues:
- the percentage of young people among the MPs;
- how to fulfill the dream and become a politician;
- current bills considered by the VR Committees; whether they relate to youth policy;
- the number of women parliamentarians.
In general, the high-school students learned more about the work of 27 committees of the VR, but most of all they were interested in the activities of the Anti-Corruption Committee.
After the meeting they toured the Verkhovna Rada premises. The students visited the conference hall and saw the heart of Parliament - the Parliamentary Chamber. Each student mentally chose a place in the Chamber where he or she would like to sit if they were MPs. And no wonder because dreams often come true.
