Blog feedEurope – speaking competition
June 24th, 2009
Pupils from Scottish schools taking part in a Speaking Competition, organised each year by the Scottish European Educational Trust, strongly urged the Scottish public to vote in future European Parliament elections.
The competition, held at the office of the European Parliament in Edinburgh on 16th June, was won by two pupils from Holyrood Secondary School in Glasgow. They stressed the serious consequences for democracy of continuing voters’ apathy. Other teams taking part were from the Highlands, West and Central Scotland.
Young Scot have offered a day’s training in making a podcast as a prize.
