Graduate Student Simulation on EU Immigration Policy

Outer Limits of Eden - REDUX

Friday, April 15, 2011, 4 p.m. – 9 p.m.

The Moynihan European Research Centers in collaboration with the Global Black Spots – Mapping Global Security Program organized an EU Graduate Simulation on Friday, March 15, 2011. Twenty seven graduate students from the IR and MPA programs took part in the event. Participants were paired and assigned to an EU-member country. The discussion began with each team expressing their position and concerns regarding different aspects of EU immigration policy and continued until a consensus was reached. During the simulation, students were kept on their toes as in the midst of the negotiations, a ‘crisis’ occurred, which entailed a terrorist action, and had to be resolved in a prompt manner before deliberations could continue. At the end of the simulation, together with thoughts on how to further improve the event, the students also shared their enjoyment and satisfaction from being a part of it.
