INVITATION Second AEHT Youth Parliament from Monday March 19th to Friday March 23rd 2012 in Kopavogur (Iceland)

Dont book any flight tickets without insurance before receiving written confirmation by the organizers
Dear AEHT members,

The AEHT organizes for the students of its member schools an AEHT Youth Parliament similar to Model United Nations (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_United_Nations) with the intention to be a simulation of a parliament session that aims to educate participants about tourism, employment, current events, effective communication and globalization. The young people take on roles as members of parliament and participate in a simulated session of an international parliament. They research a country, investigate international issues, debate, deliberate, consult, and then develop solutions to major issues. Additionally they enjoy social and cultural events in the beautiful landscape of Iceland. The red thread of this event is Reducing Carbon Footprints how can todays tourism services contribute to environmental protection?

The second AEHT Youth Parliament will be organized as follows:
