Student4Cooperation is an initiative that aims at actively engaging young people in European Territorial Cooperation - Interreg through an educational and fun activity, while highlighting the significance of their contribution to the development of their local communities.
The competition was developed by our IVYs under the supervision of staff members of the Managing Authority and in collaboration with the Directorate general for Regional and Urban Policy of the European Commission (DG REGIO).

Students were tasked with forming a team and preparing their own Interreg project in written form, choosing between one of the themes proposed in the Guidelines:
Information and communication technologies
Circular economy / Nature
Sustainable tourism
Better cooperation between schools or youth associations
The written proposals were evaluated by the jury and the ranking list was published on the Programme’s web site.
In the second phase of the selection process the participating teams have to present their project proposal in a video or PPT format. The jury will evaluate the presentation and chose the winner of the competition. The winning team will be invited to attend the first day of the “Interreg GO!” conference. During this event the team will be awarded with a study visit to Brussels: an amazing opportunity to visit the different European institutions and meet its representatives
