The EU has agreed that most schemes for students and teachers – such as EuroScola – are open to UK schools.
The UK is re-joining Erasmus+ which will open up many more possibilities.
It is totally up to you. We have schools/colleges with anywhere between 4 and 60 Junior Ambassadors.
We suggest teams of 3-5 run each activity, in this way no one student is overwhelmed and lots have the chance to participate. A school might run 3-8 events of varying sizes over the course of the year to gain accreditation.
Yes, there are guides for Junior Ambassadors here: Ambassador School Resources
And lesson plans and resources here: Lesson Plans
Each year we award certificates to all Junior and Senior Ambassadors of schools/colleges that have successfully completed the programme. Each school/college also gets a plaque to display and logos they can use on their website, letterhead, etc.
We have an awards ceremony at Europe House, and organise regional award ceremonies when possible.
EPAS is run in every country in the EU + the UK. We just support UK schools that are participating. If your school would like to participate, but you’re not in the UK, find your local EPLO office and ask them about how to get involved where you are.
If you have any other questions, please send us a message.
