The schools that are participating are requested to:

• Follow a formative meeting held by the European Parliament (1 hour 30 minutes); organizing seminars and/or meetings to deepen the themes that will be chosen through the proposal of the Office of the European Parliament. 
• Creation in the school of an Infopoint on the European Parliament: through a process of education with peers among students' ambassadors which spread to their classmates the onformation which have learnt, with the distribution of new materials provided by the European Parliament. 
• Organizing a Europe Day Celebration in the month of May 2022 thought for the occasion deom the Junior Ambassador for their own schools in the way they find it suitable and effective for other students.
