The Mini-European Assembly is an annual activity directed towards raising greater awareness amongst today's young people on major current issues dominating the European scene. Its main objective is to contribute towards the educational, cultural and political enrichment of the young generation, whilst leading them to appreciate a common European identity. In this simulation exercise each team is allotted a European country to represent in the course of the seven monthly sessions, between November and April.

During each session every team nominates a speaker who delivers a policy statement for the country represented on the topic being discussed. Furthermore two teams drawn by lot during the previous session present a report and a resolution respectively on the pertinent topic.
