About “50 Years Together in Diversity”The “50 Years Together in Diversity” school competition is intended to enhance and support European citizenship education in schools, in the year when the European Union celebrates its 50th anniversary. The competition aims to raise awareness about European cultural values, the milestones of European integration and the 50 years of unity in diversity. Audience The competition is designed for students from 14 to 20 years of age, which are based in the 27 EU Member States. The students must be organised in teams of 10 to 20 members and led by two coordinating teachers. One winning team and its coordinating teachers from each of the 27 countries will be invited to Brussels to visit the Museum of Europe in March 2008.
