Calendar

Registration

• As a teacher, you can register one or more teams of students.
• It is the supervising teacher who arranges the registration.
• You can only register students from the third grade of secondary education.
• Teams are composed of 1 to 3 students and one supervising teacher as mentor.
• Every teacher can be a mentor: the subject you teach is irrelevant.
• The number of teams for which you act as a mentor is also not limited.
• You accompany the students during each test, but you do not make the assignments in their place.

1. Online test

• Your students complete an online elimination test on their knowledge of statistical concepts. They also have to show that they can find statistical information in some publications.
• In this test, we mainly assess knowledge of statistical concepts, analytical skills and the competences to look up information.
• They have 4 weeks to take this test (they can save it and continue later).

Announcement of online test results

• In mid-December, we will announce which teams have passed the online test.
• The teams that pass will receive a certificate!
• The supervising teacher of the teams that pass will have two weeks to confirm that the teams will continue with the competition and make the video assignment.

2. Video assignment

• The teams that passed the online test get the chance to produce a 2-minute video on a predetermined topic.
• The topic is determined by Eurostat, in consultation with the participating countries, and is the same for all countries.
• In this test, we assess the competences to communicate statistics and the creativity when making the video.

Prefiltering of videos

• A team of participating partners will conduct an initial screening of all videos:
  • Is the content statistically correct?
  • Are the sources correct?
  • How did the team get to work?
• After that filtering, a maximum of 20 videos remain to compete for the public choice award and the jury award.

Public choice award

• The finalists will be assessed by the general public via a voting form.
• The best three videos will win prizes!

Jury award

• At the same time, a national jury also reviews all videos.
• The jury selects a top 3.
• The jury selects 2 videos that will automatically go to the European round.

Award ceremony

• The award ceremony takes place in Brussels.
• All finalists and supervising teachers will be invited in good time.

European round

The national jury selects 2 videos that will automatically be sent to the European round.
