The Jan Amos Comenius Prize for high quality teaching about the European Union rewards secondary schools that help their pupils learn about the European Union in ways that inspire.

The prize aims to encourage, reward and provide recognition and visibility to the work of secondary schools that:

• Help their students, in ways that inspire, to gain substantial knowledge and understanding of the European Union: its history; its fundamental values and aims; its actions and policies; the functioning of its institutions and its decision-making processes;
• Invite their students to reflect critically about Europe’s past, present and future as well as the benefits and challenges of the European Union;
• Enhance the pupils’ motivation to participate in the democratic processes that shape the future of the European Union and their attachment to its fundamental values.

Who can apply
All types of secondary schools established and based in the EU. The prize is for schools, not for individual teachers.
Each secondary school can only submit one single application.
The work/activity with which the school is applying for the Prize must have been implemented either in the school year 2018-2019 or 2019-2020, and in any event prior to the deadline for applications.
Works that are still in preparation/not implemented by the deadline for applications are not eligible.
Works that started being implemented in the course of these two school years and are still ongoing/still being implemented at the time of application are eligible.

Prizes
There will be up to twenty-eight (28) prizes of €8,000 each, one per EU Member State. 

If the United Kingdom withdraws from the EU before the award decision is taken without an agreement ensuring that UK applicants continue to be eligible, UK secondary schools will cease to be eligible for this prize. In this case, the maximum number of prizes will be 27 (instead of 28) but the amount per prize will remain the same (8,000 EUR).
 

How to apply
Schools need to submit their application online here.
Schools need to fill the application form and submit one video showing what and how the pupils learn about the European Union at this particular school, their level of engagement and the teaching/learning methods that are used.

Il Premio Jan Amos Comenius per l'insegnamento di alta qualità sull'Unione europea premia le scuole secondarie che aiutano i loro allievi a conoscere l'Unione europea attraverso metodi innovativi e coinvolgenti.

Il premio mira a incoraggiare, premiare e fornire riconoscimento e visibilità al lavoro delle scuole secondarie che:
- Aiutano i loro studenti, attraverso metodi coinvolgenti, ad acquisire una conoscenza e una comprensione sostanziale dell'Unione europea: la sua storia; i suoi valori e obiettivi fondamentali; le sue azioni e politiche; il funzionamento delle sue istituzioni e i suoi processi decisionali.
- Invitano gli studenti a riflettere criticamente sul passato, sul presente e sul futuro dell'Europa, nonché sui benefici e le sfide dell'Unione europea.
- Migliorano la motivazione degli allievi a partecipare ai processi democratici che modellano il futuro dell'Unione europea e il suo attaccamento ai suoi valori fondamentali.

Chi può presentare la candidatura
Tutti i tipi di scuole secondarie con sede nell'UE. Il premio è aperto alle scuole, non ai singoli insegnanti. Ogni scuola secondaria può presentare una sola domanda. Il lavoro/attività per cui la scuola si candida al Premio deve essere stato realizzato nell'anno scolastico 2018-2019 o 2019-2020 e in ogni caso prima della scadenza della domanda. I lavori che sono ancora in preparazione/non implementati entro la scadenza per le candidatura non sono ammissibili. I lavori/attività iniziati nel corso di questi due anni scolastici e ancora in corso sono ammessi al momento della candidatura.

Premi
Saranno assegnati fino a ventotto (28) premi da € 8.000 ciascuno, uno per Stato membro dell'UE.
Se il Regno Unito si ritira dall'UE prima che la decisione di aggiudicazione venga presa, senza un accordo che garantisca che i candidati del Regno Unito continuino a essere ammissibili, le scuole secondarie del Regno Unito cesseranno di avere diritto al premio. In questo caso, il numero massimo di premi sarà 27 (anziché 28) ma l'importo per premio rimarrà lo stesso (8.000 EUR).

Come presentare la candidatura
Le scuole possono presentare la loro domanda online qui. Dovranno compilare il modulo di domanda e inviare un video che mostri cosa e come gli alunni apprendono dell'Unione Europea in quella particolare scuola, il loro livello di impegno e i metodi di insegnamento/apprendimento utilizzati. Il video deve essere girato in una delle 24 lingue ufficiali dell'Unione Europea e non superare i 6 minuti. Per ulteriore supporto, i richiedenti possono inviare domande a [email protected] fino al 31 gennaio 2020.

Scadenza: 6 febbraio 2020, 17.00 CET.
