Promotion of 2015 European PROGRES calendar and art contest award ceremony will take place on Tuesday, 23 December 2014, in Cultural Centre in Blace, at 12:30. Painter Ena Popovic and Manager of European PROGRES Graeme Tyndall will present awards to high school students whose works were ranked highest.
This year, 110 works from 28 high schools in South East and South West Serbia were submitted in the contest. The Jury, presided by painter Ena Popovic, selected 12 best artworks to be featured in 2015 European PROGRES calendar. Twelve participants, as well as the best high school, will receive lap tops, tablets and digital cameras.
Art contest titled “Get to Know Europe,” lasted over the course of October and November 2014, aiming to encourage high school students to develop their talents, to explore and learn lesser known and interesting facts about Europe, as well as to show their creativity to wider public through artistic presentation of their findings.
Organising this contest, European PROGRES continued the tradition that was established by European development programmes EU PROGRES, PRO and MIR in previous years. Students, teachers and parents have assessed positively and gladly supported this initiative before.
