Jaworzno, Poland: Young People's Voice
Recently young people from II LO in Jaworzno, Poland used their skills and rights directly connected with democracy and openly protested against closing their school down by the local authorities.

Jugendcamp Otzenhausen
Having won in the European competition six students from the participating schools took part in the seminar from 1 to 6 July. The participants were 18 pupils from Croatia, the Czech Republic, Poland, Greece and Germany. After getting to know each other students looked into current issues in the EU and suggested ways of improving the EU. Next they learned to make calligraphy and designed their own glass panels. The picture shows one of them showing the topic of migration with the message that everyone is welcome.
The group also went hiking and climbed a hill from which they could see Luxemburg. Alina, a German student taking part in the camp, was really curious before going and looking forward to meeting fellow students from around Europe. Being a native speaker of Russian she also understood a few words of Croatian and Polish. She would love to take part in such a seminar again and thinks it is a great experience to meet with such lovely people. She also improved her English skills as this was the only common language everyone had.

66. Europäischer Wettbewerb: YOUrope – es geht um dich!
Polish students said "goodbye" to school and started their holidays but on the last day of the schoolyear they received their diplomas and gifts funded by German European Movement. Those were given to prove their success (main prize) in the project together with the German and Greek students.
Thank you very much for appreciation!

Results of Mock European Elections in the 3rd Geniko Lykeio of Ano Liosia
On the 8th
of May we presented our eTwinning project to another class of our school. Two
of our students, Zoe Mania and Dorothea Papadopoulou, talked about our eTwinning
experience and informed our classmates of the parties’ programs for Europe and
of our intention to hold elections at our school.
On May 15
students cast their votes. On the whole, students found it interesting as an
experience.
On May 30,
2019, the ballot box was opened. These were the results of our elections:
37 students
(aged 16-17 voted)
Blank
votes: 11
Invalid
votes: 3
Ecological-green
party: 11 (supports
the European Greens)
KINAL : 7 (supports PES, Party of European
Socialists)
ANEL: 2 (supports the ECR-European
Conservatives and Reformists)
SYRIZA: 2 (supports Party of the European
Left)
New
Democracy: 1
(supports ESP, European People’s Party)
The students
tried to interpret the results:
We gave a blank or invalid vote as a way of
expressing dissatisfaction with the political parties of today. We feel that
their representatives have disappointed them. We feel that these political
parties do not have their interests in mind.
A lot of
them voted for the Greens which can be explained in the following ways:
a. The students who had undertaken to
present the Green party had done an excellent job! Their poster was great!
b. Most of the students who read their
goals and intentions agreed with their views.
c. A growing concern for the
environment and our sustainability was expressed by this vote.
We also agreed that we feel it is too early for us to take a vote and we still
feel heavily influenced by our parents and peers.
The results of our mock European election
differs significantly from the result of the European elections in our country.

Mock elections at Kaufmannsschule II
More than 400 pupils have been called to vote in their own mock European elections at school. We took part in a project called Juniorwahl which provided us with polling booths, a ballot box and ballot papers. Before voting pupils looked at our European board where we had put up some information about the six most important parties of the 40 parties on the ballot paper.
After that they went to cast their votes. Pupils working on this project acted as the election board explaining students how to vote.
Now we are waiting for the results of the elections which we are not allowed to publish before Sunday, 26 May, 6 pm when the German election closes. So stay tuned.
