Under the shield of the European Parliament Bureau in Athens, in the context of the European Program EUROSCOLA and in collaboration with the European Centre of Information of the Regional Development Agency of Dodecanese Europe Direct and the International Centre of Writers and Translators of Rhodes and with the precious assistance of the Direction of the 2nd Degree of Education in the Dodecanese, the House of Europe in Rhodes took the initiative of organizing a Written Competition of Knowledge on the E.U.
Another nineteen country-members of the E.U. participate in the program. From Greece only Rhodes will be present this year. The pupils who participated in this written competition had to be between 15-18 years of age and should speak satisfactorily well the English or French language.
To all the Senior High Schools of Rhodes, both public and private, (12 schools), informative material was distributed, to give the pupils the possibility to study and get prepared for the competition.
Τhe subject, on which the pupils were asked to write about, was: «The Contribution of the European Parliament in the Decrease of the Democratic Deficit in the E.U. ».
The Prize: is a 3day trip to Strasbourg of 25 pupils and 3 accompanying professors. The pupils will work in collaboration with their colleagues from the other schools, from the other participating country-members and the guidance of their professors, at a Session of the Youth European Parliament on February 26th 2009.
At the written competition, which took place in the school-classes of the Venetokleion College 145 pupils, from 12 schools, took part. The prevailing 25 were chosen winners and 18 were nominated substitutes. The winners will be separated into 6 Working Committees and will decide in which Committee they prefer to participate. One of the Committees will have 5 members and the rest 4 members each. Every Committee will be handed a dossier, with the content of the issue the Committee will deal with, in order to get all the information needed and study it, with the help of the teaching personnel of the schools, before leaving for Strasbourg.
