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.

CAN STUDENTS REGISTER AND PARTICIPATE ON THEIR OWN?

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

WHAT EXTRA WORK DOES IT ENTAIL FOR THE TEACHER?

This programme is integrated into the educational curriculum and has been developed with the educational situation in mind. Therefore, it does not involve any additional work. The teaching material that we provide allows each educator to carry out in the classroom (depending on their time and possibilities) the contents and activities that they consider appropriate to introduce their students to the theme of the competition and facilitate their subsequent participation work.

The degree of involvement in supervising and helping their students to participate in the competition will be determined by the level of involvement of each teacher. The teacher only undertakes to explain the activity to the students and to send us their work afterwards.
