The Get Involved! Competition has come to an end. We are amazed by your students’ engagement and creativity. We received a lot of amazing submisisons and needed a bit more time to assess all the works and nominate the winning projects. Please scroll down to the PRIZE section to learn about the winners. Congratulations to all the schools that submitted their works!

WHAT IS THE COMPETITION TASK?

In this years' edition of the Get Involved! Competition we would like your students to join forces, exchange ideas and prepare a project that would answer the following question:



How can you make your school, your local area or your town greener?



In their project students should:

1. Decide which area they would like to make greener and more eco-friendly (whether it is the school, their local area or even the whole city or country)?

2. Present their ideas in a well-organised and attractive form (a poster or a leaflet) that would include their plan of action, explaining what they would like to do, what resources or support they would need and how they want to acheive it?

3. Justify their decisions, by answering the question 'How these activities or actions would make the place greener?
