Contests for primary and secondary school students

Schools are invited to participate in art contests on national identity.

Two editions of the contest will be held, starting as early as April 8:

• for pupils in the 7^th and 8^th grades of primary school,
• for students in all grades of secondary schools.

The aim of both contests is to interest young people in issues of national identity and to stimulate their creativity in this area, as well as to support the activities of teachers.

Each winner, that is, the winning school, will receive a diploma and a prize of 30 copies of the educational kit “Regional Education. Regional Walks”, which is an invitation to the world of culture, adventure and tradition and helps to learn about the regions of Poland, their beauty, history and interesting facts. In addition, every teacher who enters students in the contest will receive a certificate of participation.
