The QCEA Study Tour provides a perfect opportunity to learn, discuss and reflect on what Europe and the European Union mean to you.

The Study Tour will include visits to various European Institutions in Brussels & Luxembourg, and meetings with MEPs and NGOs (full programme).

This year the presentations and interactive discussions will focus on the theme of energy security and climate change.

Visits and Presentations include:
• The European Commission
• The Council of the EU
• The European Investment Bank
• The European Court of Justice
• A European Parliamentary Committee

We guarantee five days of learning and fun which will leave you with fresh insights and new perspectives on all things European. You will learn about the issues QCEA works on as well as many other topical issues in Europe.

You will meet with people from all over Europe and beyond, and have the opportunity to discover Brussels & Luxembourg together.

The Study Tour is open to Quakers or those in sympathy with the Religious Society of Friends. There is no upper age limit for the Tour and, assuming you feel you can handle a fair amount of walking, we welcome people of all ages! However, please note that all participants must be at least 18 years old by the start of the Study Tour.

Concerning prices and accommodation we can offer two different options. Option 1 is accommodation in twin bedded rooms in a youth hostel for € 325.

These prices include all accommodation in Brussels and Luxembourg, all internal transport, and some meals but not travel to and from Brussels. Bursaries may be available (see application form).
