A team at Millburn Academy in Inverness has won the UK level of the ‘Charlemagne Youth Prize’, a Europe-wide prize competition for young people aged between 16 and 30 who have been involved with projects helping to promote understanding between different European countries. The pupil team were successful for their well-established partnership with a region of Romania, which sees groups of Scottish senior pupils visit Romania to work to support holidays for children living in poverty. The Highland Council students will now go into the EU finals with the overall European winner to be announced in May.

A European Parliament news story offers more details and background information.
