AND IF MY STUDENTS ALREADY PARTICIPATED LAST YEAR?

It doesn’t matter. The topic is completely different, as well as the creative projects requested of participants, so it is in reality a totally new contest.

Up

WHAT ARE THE PARTICIPATION GROUPS?

To participate in the contest you may submit one piece of work per classroom in the appropriate category, according to the students' academic year. In exceptional cases, work done by students in more than one category may be accepted, such as work by groups from rural schools or travelling circus school programmes, special support classes, etc.

In such cases, the class will participate in the category that applies to the majority of your students. If there is a draw, then the class will take part in the higher category.

The maximum number of participants per task will be the maximum number of students in the class established by the law in force for each level.

However, due to circumstances caused by the Coronavirus pandemic, the modality of participation may be changed to adapt to the measures that schools and colleges have to adopt to protect health. Therefore, if the school is required to divide the classroom into groups for health reasons, group/work participation may be allowed in exceptional cases. In any case, for logistical and economic reasons, the maximum number of students participating with all the groups/classroom may not exceed the maximum of 38 students per class under any circumstances.

Up

CAN STUDENTS REGISTER AND PARTICIPATE ON THEIR OWN?

No. To participate, a teacher from the school must register.

Up

WHAT EXTRA WORK DOES IT ENTAIL FOR THE TEACHER?

The programme is integrated in the educational curriculum and has been devised considering the new situation in education and digital recommendations issued to schools by Education Boards. Because of this, it entails no additional work. The teaching materials provided allow each educator to use the contents and activities in the classroom (time and resources allowing) to introduce the topics of the contest to students and to support the subsequent participatory work.

The level of involvement in supervising and helping students create the participation project will be the decision of each teacher. The teacher is only committed to explaining the activity to them and subsequently submitting the participation project to us.
