During the first semester of 2010, the participants of the Montesquieu Masterclass “Brick by brick. Building European Parliamentary Systems before and after 1989” followed a series of lectures about many of the various aspects of the building of parliamentary systems in Europe.
Moreover, the participants took part in a field trip to Berlin in March 2010. The field trip was prepared in cooperation with the Kommission fur Geschichte des Parlamentarismus und der politischen Parteien (KGParl) in Berlin. During the trip much attention was given to the process of German Unification and its implications for European Parliamentary Systems. The Masterclass was concluded by writing a final paper.
Mr. Arz von Straussenburg, deputy head of the German Mission in The Hague, handed out the certificates to the Masterclass students. A representative from KGParl, Dr. Tobias Kaiser, came over from Berlin to attend the ceremony as well.
