Registration deadline for world’s largest school contest announced

The final date for registrations in the Mondialogo School Contest has been announced.

Teaching staff may register their school students aged between 14 and 18 years to take part in the largest global school contest until 1 November 2007. Following previous events in 2003/2004 and 2005/2006, the contest is now being held for the third time.

After registration, a draw is held to match participating schools with a partner team from another country or continent. The two teams then make contact with each other, agree on a joint project topic and work on this in a process of continuous exchange. The resulting dialogue between the cultures leads to the emergence of a joint creative project. This may be a piece of music, a play, a collage, a photographic documentation, a sculpture, Internet pages – there are no limits to the imagination.

In 2008, students and teachers from particularly committed schools will be taking part in the international Mondialogo Symposium, where the partner teams will meet each other in person. After several days of workshops and joint activities, the three best partner teams will be awarded sums of 500, 1,000 and 1,500 euros as part of a festive prize-giving ceremony.

Some 25,000 school students from 126 countries took part in the first Mondialogo School Contest in 2003/2004, instantly making it the largest worldwide contest for school students. The second contest in 2005/2006 exceeded even this figure, with more than 35,000 school students from 138 countries taking part.
