Euro Challenge

Dear teacher colleagues:

The European Union Center of Excellence at UNC-Chapel Hill is excited to offer North Carolina 9th and 10th grade classes a new opportunity to participate in a national competition with amazing prizes!  The Euro Challenge (www.euro-challenge.org) is an opportunity for student teams to learn about the new European currency, the euro, by examining one country of the euro area and making a presentation on the impact the euro has had there.  The competition is sponsored by the Delegation of the European Commission to the United States in Washington and the Moody’s Foundation.   More information on Euro Challenge and complete rules for the competition may be found at the website listed above.  The first round of competitions will be held in Chapel Hill at the European Union Center of Excellence on April 5, 2008.  The winning team from that competition will be given an expenses paid trip to compete in the national competition in New York City in late April-early May 2008.

If you are interested in participating please review the website details and the download the documents below. If you have questions about Euro Challenge, email Gali Beeri at the EU Center in Chapel Hill.  The deadline for North Carolina schools registering is November 30th, 2007.
