On Wednesday 12 November Cambridge University students will take part in a debate in the EU Parliament, with the aim of improving the European Union’s relationship with its citizens.
 

The debate will be in 10 languages covering a range of topics, including climate change, protection of personal data, illegal immigration and the recent financial crisis.

Lead by the European Radio Network, EURANET, students from the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages will ask MEP Katerina Batzeli about cultural dialogue within the EU.

Hans-Gert Pöttering, president of the European Parliament will be among the officials taking part in the debate.

Students from across Europe, including Germany (Aachen University), France (at the radio station Eur@dioNantes), Belgium (IHECS), the Netherlands (Roosevelt Academy, University of Utrecht) and Romania (Babes Boliaj University), will subject the EU officials to a barrage of critical questions.

The entire debate and presentation will be broadcast live on www.euranet.eu on November 12, from 5pm to 8pm Central European Time. You can also listen again on www.euranet.eu.

EURANET, launched in February 2008, is a multilingual radio station aimed at listeners across Europe. It was founded by a consortium of radio stations including Cambridge University’s CUR1350. The stations involved broadcast a daily mix of current affairs, debates, features and live radio across the member states.
