BNE Awards – Special Jury Prize
Special Jury Prize at the BNA Awards
I am delighted to announce that our school has been awarded the Special Jury Prize at the BNA Awards, organized by the Ministry of the Environment, on Monday, 8 June.
This distinction is particularly significant given the scale of the competition, which involved more than 450 participants and 37 Action Teams from across Luxembourg.
The award recognized our project E-FESOL (Ecological Forum European School of Luxembourg), which brought together 85 students from all the European Schools of Luxembourg, including the accredited schools. The event took place on 17 April and provided students with a unique opportunity to engage in environmental policymaking. The project was generously supported by the Parents' Association APEEEL2 and Dreamcars sàrl, whose contribution helped make this initiative possible.
During E-FESOL, participants took part in a simulation of COP negotiations, working collaboratively to discuss environmental challenges and developing proposals for improving sustainability within their own schools. Throughout the day, students also watched the documentary Eating Our Way to Extinction and participated in a workshop on the circular economy,held by Microtarians, gaining valuable insights into the environmental impact of our consumption patterns and exploring more sustainable alternatives.
Through debate, cooperation, and creative problem-solving, students demonstrated a strong commitment to building a more sustainable future.
This achievement is a testament to the enthusiasm, dedication, and hard work of all the students involved in the project *. Their efforts were formally recognized during the awards ceremony, where they were rewarded by Serge Wilmes, Minister of the Environment, and Claude Meisch, Minister of Education, highlighting the importance of youth engagement in environmental action and sustainability.
