Dear member of CSV International,

On Wednesday, 18th of January 2023, CSV International is delighted to invite you +1 for a visit of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, thanks to MEPs Isabel Wiseler-Lima and Christophe Hansen’s invitation

Visit purpose

A visit to the European Parliament in Strasbourg is a great way to soak up the exciting atmosphere of the world’s largest transnational parliament and find out about its powers and role.

The European Parliament in Strasbourg is the vibrant heart of European democracy, where Members of the European Parliament gather during plenary sessions to hold the largest and most important debates. It also provides the setting for historic votes that change the way people live across the European Union.

During this visit, there will be a personalised talk with MEPs Isabel Wiseler-Lima and Christophe Hansen on the role and powers of the European Parliament, a Q&A session, a visit to the Hemicycle and Parlamentarium.

  • The Hemicycle is where all Members of the European Parliament seat during plenary sessions and where the most important European debates and votes take place.
  • The Parlamentarium lays out the process behind making law for the whole of Europe and explains what the Members of the European Parliament are doing to meet the challenges of today.
