Juvenes Translatores European Commission - Press release Juvenes Translatores: Winners of the EU translation contest for schools announced today Brussels, 3 February 2016 The European Commission has today announced the winners of its annual translation contest 'Juvenes Translatores'. A total of 28 secondary school students, one from each of the European Union Member States, will be awarded a prize after competing with over 3 000 participants from across the continent. The winners will be invited to Brussels on 14 April 2016 to receive their trophies from European Commission Vice-President Kristalina Georgieva. ‘My congratulations to all the winners of this year's competition, who excelled against some stiff competition for the top slot in their country. Every year, Juvenes Translatores gives students a chance to test their language skills and try their hand at translation, a valuable skill in our multilingual Union,’ Vice-President Georgieva said. The students had to translate texts on the topic of development cooperation. The theme was chosen to mark the 2015 European Year of Development. The participants could choose from any of the 552 possible combinations between any two of the EU’s 24 official languages. This year, students used 166 language combinations, including translating from Czech into Italian, from Maltese into Dutch, and from Danish into Polish. All winners chose to translate into their strongest language, as the official translators in EU institutions do. Background The Juvenes Translatores (Latin for ‘young translators’) contest has been organised every year since 2007 by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Translation. Its aim is to promote language learning in schools and give young people a taste of what it is like to be a translator. It is open to 17-year old secondary school pupils (for those born in 1998, for this year's contest) and takes place at the same time in all selected schools across the EU, including in its outermost regions. The contest has inspired and encouraged some of the participants to pursue their languages at university level and to become translators. The names of this year’s winners are: JUVENES TRANSLATORES 2015-2016 winners Winner Participants Country Name, language Number of Number pair School schools of pupils Fiona Baumhauer, BG Purkersdorf, Austria ES-DE Purkersdorf 18 73 Margaux Cuyle, FR- Immaculata-instituut, De Belgium NL Panne 16 72 Георги Христов, EN- Езикова гимназия „Д-р Bulgaria BG Петър Берон“, 17 75 Кюстендил Gimnazija i strukovna Katarina Zornada, škola Jurja Dobrile, Pazin Croatia EN-HR 11 53 Λύκειο Αποστόλων Cyprus ΣτέφανοςΜιχαηλίδης, Πέτρου και Παύλου, 6 26 FR-EL Λεμεσός Gymnázium, Třinec, The Czech Miroslav Řehounek, příspěvková organizace, 21 104 Republic EN-CS Třinec Amalie Dam Møller, Niels Brock HHX, Denmark EN-DA Kultorvet, København 13 54 Eva Lea Jääger, EN- Hugo Treffneri Estonia ET Gümnaasium, Tartu 6 30 Finland Atte Kaljonen, EN-FI Puolalanmäen lukio, Turku 13 59 Lycée Notre-Dame-Saint- France Florian Pesce, RO-FR Joseph, Epinal 72 333 Coppernicus Gymnasium, Germany Emily Bruns, FR-DE Norderstedt 92 348 Λήδα-Χρυσή Πειραματικό Γενικό Λύκειο Greece Γανωτάκη, EN-EL Ηρακλείου, Ηράκλειο 21 95 Κρήτης Tinódi Sebestyén Franciska van Gimnázium és Hungary Waarden, NL-HU Idegenforgalmi, 21 92 Vendéglátói Szakképző Iskola, Sárvár Lauren Ní Bhaoill, EN- Coláiste Phobail Ireland GA Cholmcille, Dún na nGall 11 45 Italy Gabriella Grassiccia, I.I.S.

  • The Entrepreneurial School Awards 2018
    THE ENTREPRENEURIAL SCHOOL AWARDS 2018 A recognition of schools championing entrepreneurship education The Entrepreneurial School Awards is a JA Europe initiative supported by Siemens FOREWORD Companies can’t move the world forward without their employees. That is why, we, at Siemens Austria, make sure to provide and help our employees to develop their professional and personal skills. When it comes to our apprentices, we support them right from the beginning. This means we offer them advice and information on each possible apprenticeship and after having applied successfully, we guide them through the following years in order to embark upon their new career. A proper education is the key for young people to get to know themselves, but also their strengths and interests. Therefore, we try to offer everyone the education, which suits everyone’s individual background. It is important to exchange with other Wolfgang Hesoun, schools, institutions and organizations CEO of Siemens AG Austria – not only in Austria – but also within Europe. If we start to share each other’s knowledge regarding education, we will be able to profit and learn from each other. For this very reason we are proud to be part of the Entrepreneurial School project this year, as it underlines our Vision at Siemens and to be able to host the TES Awards ceremony in the context of the European Vocational Skills Week taking place in Vienna this year. The Entrepreneurial School Awards is an annual recognition of the outstanding primary and secondary schools championing entrepreneurship education. The first TES Award was made in 2015 when 11 schools from 11 countries participated in a ceremony in the European Parliament in Brussels.
