The House of Representatives, in line with the announced objectives of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mrs. Anita Demetriou, announces the start of the programme "Student Internship at the House of Representatives" on Wednesday, June 1, 2022.
The programme, which will be launched this year, provides the opportunity for undergraduate students of higher education institutions to participate in the "Internship in the House of Representatives" programme, which is modelled on foreign parliaments and other institutions of the European Union. The aim is 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, during which the participants, depending on their specialised field of knowledge and interest, will be placed in the various services of the Parliament. During the programme, the students will attend courses on parliamentary procedures and practice, sessions of parliamentary committees, plenary sessions of the House, meetings with the chairs of parliamentary committees and heads of parliamentary delegations in the context of the Parliament's participation in international, European and regional organisations, briefings on the work carried out, discussion and exchange of views. They will also attend informative lectures by the heads of the services on issues of their competence and actions of a general nature of the Parliament, as well as actions of the President of the Parliament.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mrs. Anita Demetriou will hold a welcome meeting with these students, on Thursday, 2 June 2022, at 9.00 a.m, in the plenary hall, in the House of Representatives.
