The House of Representatives announces the launch of the programme "Student Internship at the House of Representatives", an initiative of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mrs. Anita Demetriou, which started in June 2022, following the model of foreign parliaments and other institutions of the European Union for Greek-speaking undergraduate students of higher academic institutions in Cyprus and abroad.
The programme aims to familiarise young people with the work of the legislative body, to broaden their knowledge of parliamentary life and the values of democracy and, in general, to prepare them to become active citizens through the development and strengthening of parliamentary-citizen relations and to enhance their skills with a view to their future employability.
The programme will last for two months (6 June-28 July 2023), during which the participants, depending on their specialised field of knowledge and interest, will be placed in the various services of the House of Representatives. During the programme, students will attend courses on parliamentary procedures and practice, sessions of parliamentary committees, plenary sessions of the House, have meetings with the chairs of parliamentary committees and heads of parliamentary delegations in the context of the participation of the House of Representatives in international, European and regional organizations, learn about the work carried out. They will also attend informative lectures by the directors of the services on issues within their remit and general activities of the House of Representatives, as well as activities of the President of the House of Representatives.
