Apply for the new Jan Amos Comenius Prize
The European Commission has launched, for the first time, an EU-wide contest for high-quality teaching about the European Union.
The prize will reward secondary schools that help their pupils learn about the European Union in ways that inspire. It will provide EU-wide recognition and visibility to relevant work in each Member State and will highlight the importance of teaching and learning about the EU at a young age. It will showcase innovative teaching methods that engage pupils actively in learning about the EU and will help spread these practices.
The action will award up to twenty-eight (28) prizes of 8 000 EUR each, one in each EU Member State.
Eligible candidates are secondary schools (ISCED level 2 and level 3 schools) established and based in the European Union (not individual teachers).
The deadline for applications is 17:00 CET on 06 February 2020.
You will find the Rules of Contest and the Application Form here.
The prize is a European Parliament initiative implemented by the European Commission.
If the United Kingdom withdraws from the EU before the award decision (this follows soon after the assessment of the applications) without having concluded an agreement with the EU ensuring that British applicants continue to be eligible, British secondary schools will cease to be eligible for this prize. In this case, there will be up to 27 prizes (instead of 28) but the amount of the prize will remain the same (8,000 EUR).
