From our school, the following people came to the final: Agata Flak, Eliza Masłowska, Emilia Badora, Hania Ziemba, Iga Kulig, Victoria Konik, and Cyprian Kłuskowicz. We all agree that the event was incredibly well prepared! It made a great impression and gave a positive kick to implement future projects.

In the general classification, our school took 131st place out of 458 qualified secondary schools. In Silesia we were in 21st place, and in Katowice we were in 3rd place! 

Our best school project - You are not alone, awarded with the Bronze Wolf, was implemented by: Hania Ziemba, Emilia Maziarz and Kinga Głąb (High School in Chorzów). Congratulations! It was a well-prepared project that went beyond the walls of the school. The event was supported by, among others, Artur Rojek. The project lived on social media, where the girls posted about their activities. As we saw at the final, the teams that were highly rated by the jury operated in this way. It is definitely worth taking an example from them.

It is worth adding that projects with a similar theme, such as You are not alone, were among the top awarded works, so the topic was very popular.
