The Interreg Italy-Slovenia Programme, in collaboration with the European Commission’s DG REGIO, is launching the STUDENTS4COOPERATION – Interreg high school competition. This initiative is open to high schools within the Italy-Slovenia Programme area. The competition aims to actively engage young people in European cooperation through an educational and fun activity, while highlighting the significance of their contributions to the development of their local communities.
Each high school in the Italy-Slovenia programme area can participate in the competition by forming teams of students, which will be tasked to propose their own Interreg project. The team that presents the most outstanding project idea will be rewarded with a study visit to Brussels, and it will also have the opportunity to present the students’ work at the Interreg GO! event in front of an international audience. For more details about the competition, please visit the Programme website at www.ita-slo.eu/en/news-and-events/procurement-and-notices.
The application deadline is 6 October 2024.
This competition is organised as part of the Interreg GO! event, scheduled for March 2025 in the twin cities of Nova Gorica-Gorizia, the 2025 European Capital of Culture. The competition was developed by Interreg Volunteer Youth (IVYs) working within the Italy-Slovenia Programme, in collaboration with other staff members and the European Commission staff. The goal is to create an initiative that inspires young people to actively participate in planning future cooperation projects.
