School competition: 50 Years Together in Diversity.
next deadline: 2007-12-31



European Schoolnet launched in partnership with the [http://www.museu.be/] Museum of Europe, the ?50 Years Together in Diversity? school competition that aims to raise awareness about European cultural values, the milestones of European integration and the 50 years of unity in diversity. The competition is intended to enhance and support European citizenship education in schools, in the year when the European Union celebrates its 50th anniversary.

Competition theme:
The competition theme is ?50 years together in diversity?. The competition entries should consist of an essay and a visual composition. 

The essay should answer the questions: ?In your opinion, what are the major challenges that the European Union will be faced with in the next 50 years? How can it deal with these challenges?? 
The visual composition should focus on the topic ?Europe in our daily lives?.

Participants:
All schools and organisations in charge of extra-curricular school activities in the 27 EU Member States can set up teams of 10 to 20 students to take part in the competition. The students must be aged between 14 to 20 years old.
There is no limit to the number of entries that may be sent by a school. 
The student teams are encouraged to submit entries resulting from a classroom-based activity, approached in a cross-curricular manner (involving a number of school subjects). Each student team must be coordinated by two teachers.

Prizes:
The competition prizes consist of a trip to Brussels to visit the [http://www.museube/] Museum of Europe, in March 2008. The trip for all the 27 winning teams, including the travel and accommodation, will be covered by the Museum of Europe. Each winning team will be accompanied by two coordinating teachers

Deadline: 31 December 2007
