Study Mission Tunisi – February 2022

The Study Mission project will help students to understand the importance of strategic partnership between Europe and Tunisia and will orient participants on controversial topics: migration, terrorism, financial crisis.

The stay in Tunis will also be a unique opportunity to interact with the nation’s ruling class.

By the end of the program, students will have gained a deeper understanding of a key country in the Mediterranean area as well as what the further prospects of the country are, in light of the recent second elections under the new constitution.

Participants will discover in practice how dialogue and collaboration always constitute an asset: the economic and commercial partnership between the EU Countries and Tunisia makes this relationship inevitable and – students will realize – even indispensable.

The structure of the Study Mission is divided in 3 parts:

•  a webinar course held by experts, specialized in Tunisian history, organized in 4 lessons with special focus on the current situation in Tunisia;
•  in Tunis, 6 days of meetings with Institutions, diplomats, managers, professors and opinion makers;
•  Simulation of Diplomatic negotiations on “The Future of  democracy in Tunisia”. Participants will represent Tunisia, Italy, France, Egypt, Libya, Turkey, USA, Russia, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, EU, and representatives from UN and the Arab League.
