The DoDDS-Europe Model United States Senate (MUSS) conference was held in Heidelberg, Germany April 25 - 27, 2007. Students from DoDDS-E High Schools throughout Europe had the opportunity to represent a U.S. Senator, a member of a special interest group, or a member of the executive branch in a simulation of the Senate legislative process. The theme was "Freedom's Future: A New Direction for America" to commemorate the Democratic Party winning the majority in the House and Senate. Nuclear proliferation, air pollution, immigration and other hot topics were discussed and debated at the 3 day event. MUSS is organized
cooperatively by the teacher board and the appointed student board. The
boards meet in December of each year to organize most of the April conference
including creating the theme, designing support materials, setting the
debate topics, and suggesting changes to the conference. The
students work for months to write, correct, amend and gather sponsors
for their bills in preparation for the actual event. |
