Who can participate?

Students of primary and secondary education (ages 11-18), as well as university students and educators from all over Europe, can participate in the Conference.

The Conference lasts for three (3) days. Each day of the Conference is divided into two (2) sessions: a morning session and an afternoon session. The day and session for each presentation depends on its topic.

Student Participation Guidelines

All students who register for the conference can only participate through group projects.Each group may consist of up to thirty (30) members, and each group may participate with only one (1) project.

If a school wishes to participate with more than thirty (30) students, they should submit a second project. Priority will be given based on the order in which each school completes its registration.

University Student and Educator Participation Guidelines

University students and educators may participate in the conference either individually or in groups. Each participant may submit only one (1) project or activity, whether individually or as part of a group. There is limited availability for individual projects.

Modes of Participation

Participation in the Conference may take, indicatively, one of the following ways:

Speech/Presentation
Poster
Theatrical/Musical Performance
Drama Performance
Visual Arts Creation: painting composition, drawing
Photography Exhibition
Short Film
Rhetorical Contest

Other projects

Speech/Presentation

Each speech or presentation must not exceed 10 minutes in duration and must be accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation. The students presenting the project (regardless of the total number of participants) must not exceed five (5) individuals.

Language
Each group may deliver their presentation either in their native language or in English. However, it is necessary to include English subtitles in the PowerPoint in case the presentation is given in their native language.

Poster

The poster must include a title, a text, and photos (a frame template will be sent to each school).

The font size of the text should range from 26–28 (as dense texts can be tiring for the reader), and the images should be accompanied by their corresponding captions (cutlines).

Special attention should be given to the dimensions and quality of the photos to ensure they are clear when printed.

Any layout can be used, but two-column posters are preferable. The background is up to each team’s choice; however, a light-coloured background with dark-coloured text is easier on the reader’s eyes.

Language
Each group may choose to use either their native language or English. However, it is necessary to include an English version of the text or provide English subtitles in a separate leaflet in case the poster is in their native language.

Musical/Drama performance, short film, rhetorical contest,
scientific experiment

Each of the above projects must last up to 10 minutes.
