What are the Student Councils Democracy Awards?
The Student Councils Democracy Awards is a programme for all secondary schools and post-secondary institutions. Participating student councils compete for Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards as they implement their Action Plans over a period of one scholastic year. This programme is underpinned by the values of democracy, active citizenship, participation, dialogue, leadership and equality. Eur 150 and Eur 300 are granted to secondary and post-secondary schools respectively as an incentive to take part in this programme. A toolkit guides the process and youth workers are available to support the student councils and the school coordinators.
