The Game Secretariat issues certificates of the Game that confirm an attendance in the student conference. When registering, do not forget to mention that you need such a certificate. Students of the School of International Relations who participate in the conference do not need to receive certificates, because the organizing committee informs the dean about the list of participants. However, students should agree on their absence in language classes and seminars with teachers. Practice shows that almost all teachers have no objection to students' participation in the Game.

After obtaining a specific role, the participant can begin the active phase of preparing for the Game. It consists in studying the position of the EU, the EAEU or another participant on the issues under discussion. By the beginning of the Game, each participant should have good knowledge of the issues of foreign and domestic policy of his/her country, party, institution and the field of his/her body in decision-making. The necessary brief instructions, resources for more in-depth study, as well as the essence of the case being discussed, and the necessary additional materials are represented on the website www.model.euactive.ru. I applied and I still have not received the role. Is this how it should be? Within the framework of the international student simulation, it was decided to centralize the distribution of roles. That is, the distribution of roles takes place with the participation of a consultation of the members of the organizing committee, when the critical number of participants is registered, so be patient and we will definitely give you the role. How to choose the right role? The right choice of a role is one of the most significant moments of preparation. First of all, you need to decide on the institution in which you want to participate. Conventionally, institutions can be divided into several categories: those who to draft bills (the Commissions), those who are engaged in discussions of mandates and projects (parliaments and the Councils) and auxiliary ones that exert influence on them (the press and lobbyists). Thus, first of all, it is necessary to determine what kind of activity is the most interesting activity to you within the framework of the Game. Then, you should think about which of the issues on the agenda is more interesting to you (mainly this is relevant for the bodies involved in the drafting of bills and for lobbyists). Finally, it is necessary to formulate preferences for the state, which you will represent in this or that institute. The choice of a large and developed state does not always guarantee an interesting Game. It is necessary to take into account national interests, the existing political alliances and the historical memory of the chosen state in any issue. | Software error:Can't locate /var/www/tromanova/data/www/euactive.ru/cgi-bin/mains.v02 at /var/www/eu/data/www/model2019.euactive.ru/cgi-bin/standalone/newsindex.cgi line 12.
