We are pleased to present the winning teams that have qualified for the Final of the Youth Education Campaign, which is organised annually by the Programme to mark Interreg Cooperation Day (formerly EC Day - European Cooperation Day) in September. This year it is being held under the slogan "Let’s follow the common trail!". In order to qualify for the Finals, each team had to complete 2 tasks: prepare a short project to revive tourism in their area and record a video of a trip/walk to the place described in the project with the participation of all team members. In total, we received 20 entries: 10 from Poland and 10 from Ukraine. All the entries were very interesting, creative and we would like to thank you for your efforts in preparing them!
