Youth and student legislative engagement in Romania

Overview

Educational and professional opportunities for students and young people to engage with the legislative process in Romania have been highlighted through various initiatives.

In September 2026, the Romanian Chamber of Deputies announced the second edition of its internship program, offering two-month placements for residents to gain experience in parliamentary commissions and specialized courses. This follows broader European Parliament internship opportunities, such as the Schuman internship, which provide experience in Brussels, Luxembourg, or Strasbourg.

Additionally, the ‘Youth Parliament’ educational project, organized by the Pro Democratia Association in collaboration with the Hanns Seidel Foundation and the Chamber of Deputies, provides a simulation of the legislative process. This program allows high school and university students to experience how laws are initiated and voted upon, aiming to promote civic education and democratic values.
