Registration
deadline for world’s largest school contest announced
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.
