” “The Warsaw-based Schuman Foundation is the author of the first-ever virtual game to become MEPs. The Foundation, which works "to promote the European ideals", "was worried about the low turnout at the European elections in Poland". For this reason explains Micha³ Kwietniewski, in charge of the project we had developed a virtual game, targeted to the young, "to raise the awareness of and make the citizens familiar with the greatest Parliament in the world". The over three thousand Polish players have now convinced the EU Parliament to re-launch the initiative across the continent, which, translated into three languages (Polish, English, French), is available on the website www.bemep.eu. After registering, each player joins a political group (as well as those traditionally present in Strasbourg, the players can make up new ones), then they will be involved in discussions about the big EU issues and earn points by predicting the results of the elections on the Floor. The international game, "Become a Member of the European Parliament", began on October 2nd and "is a competition open to all European citizens and to the citizens of the next EU countries". ” “
