High school students had the chance to prove their knowledge of European Union related subjects at the finals of the Our Europe competition organized on the 6th of April at Székesfehérvár. The winners were rewarded with study trips to Brussels and Strasbourg.

Among the participants there also were the students of the Szabó Dávid Technological High Scool of Baraolt, Covasna county.
The competition started in December 2012, with the participation of teams made of three students, 17 of which passed the three online rounds and made it to the finals.

The MEP awarded two of the winning teams study trips to the Brussels seat of the European Parliament. MEPs Edit Bauer and Edit Herczog were also patrons of the event and rewarded two other teams with study trips to Brussels and Strasbourg.
