Three University of Macau (UM) students recently won a Best Individual Award and a Best Team Award at the Asia Pacific Model European Union (APMEU) 2016.
The winner of the Best Individual Award is José Miguel Nuño de la Rosa Ortiz from the Faculty of Business Administration. The recipients of the Best Team Award are Nick Wauben and Han Xiangzhi from the Faculty of Social Sciences.
Co-organised by the European Union Academic Programme Macau (EUAP-M) and its sister organisation in Hong Kong, the APMEU 2016 was held at the Hong Kong Baptist University. The two-day event brought together 22 undergraduate and postgraduate students from mainland China, Hong Kong, South Korea, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Macao. Participants discussed the current refugee crisis in Europe.
Six students in three teams, including five students from UM and one from the Macau University of Science and Technology, participated in this year’s APMEU. Dr Sten Verhoeven from the Faculty of Law was a co-chair of the event.
Established in 2012, the EUAP-M is a partnership between UM and the Institute of European Studies of Macau, and is co-funded by the EU. It aims to increase understanding of the EU on the part of the general public in Macao, especially students at all levels.
