Issues:

1) Committee on Foreign Affairs
The question of EU´s role internationally in a future world.

How should the EU find its role and look for more significant influence on the world´s political stage. In your debate include a discussion of the relation between “soft” power and military power and the interdependence between the EU and the rest of the world. To what extent should the EU engage itself globally?

2) Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety
The question of a new climate economy.

Examine the possibilities and consequences of getting rid of an old-fashioned fossil energy structure in favour of investment in cleantech and a Green Industrial Revolution. What are the advantages/disadvantages? Do we have to change our lifestyles and everyday life to adjust to new environmental conditions?

3) Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs
The question of how to fight extremist attitudes and radicalisation among young people.

Examine in what ways the EU can take steps to prevent and deal with escalating violence in e.g. politics and religion in our societies. In the debate you should include the question of inclusion based on duties and rights, and exclusion.

4) Committee on Education and Culture
The question of the role of media in the information society.

In our age young people use the internet and modern communications technologies extensively to get information and for recreational purposes. What are the advantages/disadvantages of this development? In your debate include a discussion about how our democracies are affected by young people dismissing newspapers and television in favour of the new media and consider the possibilities of interactive democracy.

5) Committee on Education and Life-long Learning
The question of how to promote mobility and entrepreneurship among young people.

In a globalised world the need for intercultural competences and learning is in increasing demand. In what ways can you, formally and informally, equip young people with tools to make them capable of working and studying in an international setting?
