starts with a social event, called "Eurofeast": it is an event where participants as well as organisers bring food and drinks from their home countries and share them with others. Booths are set up for each country or group of countries and music from these countries is also played, aiming at spreading each and every participant's home country's culture. The scheduled activities include educational events, such as the
Workshops Day and the panel discussions with experts on the two chosen topics before the simulation kicks off. Participants are also given the chance to discover other international opportunities through the Partners' Fair, where MEUS partner organisations, NGOs and youth organisations explain their activities and encourage MEUS participants to get involved. Networking Night also gives such an opportunity: in MEUS 2019 it took the form of European Elections Night, where participants got to meet with some of the rising stars of European politics. Trips are also organised, including a boat tour of Strasbourg, a reception at the City Hall and a visit to the Hemicycle at the European Parliament. "MEUS: Behind the Scenes" (or "MEU Best Practices", as it was known in 2018) is an event held after the simulation ends. Its purpose is informing those considering joining the MEUS Organising Team about its work. It also represents a good opportunity for those participants who just want to know more about what goes into organising Model European Union Strasbourg. During "MEUS: Behind the Scenes" a series of workshops and presentations are carried out by the current Team, who introduces its work and shows participants what it means to organise a simulation of the European Union decision-making process.
191:. Meanwhile, Lobbyists try to push forward their agenda and influence the final decision on the two pieces of legislation, while Interpreters ensure accurate and engaging simultaneous interpretation of the whole process in around 10 languages. Everything is carefully documented both visually and verbally by Journalists. Model European Union Strasbourg has its own newspaper, which not only covers the legal procedure, but also provides interviews with stakeholders and background information. The journalist team of each edition chooses the name for the newspaper and the whole team contributes to its daily issue. Additionally, a press conference in which journalists can ask questions to MEPs and Ministers takes place on a daily basis. Not only are these press conferences helpful for journalists, but they also make it easier for all stakeholders to keep up with the development of the negotiations in both Chambers.
