The European Parliament information office in Romania has organized since the summer of 2010 until October the same year, the annual contest of Euroscola. This is a national competition dedicated to highschool pupils, age from 16 to 18 years throughout the country.
This year’s theme for the contest was the identification of a patrimony object in Romania, related to a personality in this country in relation with personalities from other European countries. The choosing of the personality was made by the participant students. The first 12 highschools on national scale were invited to participate to the Euroscola events held in Strasbourg during the year 2011.
The European Parliament has created the Euroscola program in order to inform young people about the process of European integration and to promote the participation to the construction of the European Union.
The goal of the program is to bring together highschool students from 27 member states, giving them the opportunity to find out how the European Parliment works, and also to get to know each other, to learn about the way of life, the visions and the expectations of young people from other member states.
