The European Chain reaction is a European Quality Label winning eTwinning project that was first organised in 2011.
The project is a contest and a European collaboration between primary schools from as many as possible European countries.
In the contest primary schools compete for the honour and a nice trophy: Which country builds and films the most astonishing and creative Rube Goldberg / Robert Storm Petersen chain reaction? The competing children are the only judges in this game!
In the end all videos will be edited to ONE BIG CROSS BORDER EUROPEAN CHAIN REACTION!
In 2011 Germany was the outstanding winner of this fun science competition. They made this absolutely amazing video and they learned a lot about pulleys, chains, levers, ...
In 2012 Belgium managed to win the competition by creating an impressive chain.
In 2013 Norway was crowned the ECR-2013 winner as they made a feel-good and up tempo chain reaction!
In 2014 Belgium won the competition for the second time. The pupils created another impressive video.
In 2015 Kindergarten Rasselband from Germany won the title with an amazing machine to feed the sheep.
In 2016 Belgium won its third title by winning this year's competition.
In 2017 Belgium won its 4th title an outstanding chain reaction.
In 2018 Belgium won its 5th title with a sophisticated water pump.
In 2019 Austria won for the first time with anincredible video.
In 2020 Finland won with a charming Lego-boy waking up the 6th graders who were tired after the Christmas break.
In 2021 the world was struck with the Covid-19 pandemic. Many schools had great dificulties making a chain reaction in the way they wanted. But this extra challenge produced many creative chains! The winner was Estonia with their pandemic machine.
In 2022 Belgium won with an amazing technical chain reaction.
In 2023, Sweden made a terrific chain reaction that amazed us all. The points rushed in from all over Europe and placed their chain reaction at the top of the list.

Last year, n 2024, it was once again Belgium that made the video that got the most votes and won the prize. Well done, Belgium!

And now in 2025 the project has it's 15th anniversary!!
We would like to find some extra schools to participate, so if your country isn't mentioned on this blog and your primary or kindergarten school wants to join this amazing science competition? Please contact us: dave@qworzo.be or jelog@msn.com.

There are 70 students (7-16 years old) in the primary school level, 32 children in the preschool group, 19 teachers and 8 technical workers. The school was built in 1936. About 20 students have learning difficulties and some students are at a risk of social exclusion.

CEIP CÉSAR MANRIQUE CABRERA CEIP is a Pre-school and Primary education school located in Lanzarote, the northernmost and easternmost of the Canary Islands. Our educational proposal is articulated in 7 axes: personal harmony, cultural development, respect for nature, sustainable development, art and creation of beauty, “canary traditions” and universality. All of them in connection with the legacy and spirit of the most important artist borned in our island which gives his name to our school. We are immersed in many Programs and Projects which aim to create better educational experiences for learning. Some of them are networks like “School garden”, “Timple (traditional musical instrument) learning” or “AICLE Project”, where the area of Art has been chosen for linguistic immersion. Talking about projects, it is needed to highlight the importance of our “Trail network", awarded with the prize “Initiatives in Heritage Education in the Canary Islands” at regional level. We have designed trails that start and arrive at the school for each educational level, with Activities and proposals for before, during and after the trails, making them a fundamental basis for developing students' competences. The School building was designed in a peculiar way, very close to the typical design of the island houses, what means there is a big distance between classes. All of our pupils and teachers are really excited about participating in The European Chain Reaction this year, and our first challenge will be thinking about how to plan a chain that connects all of us. Will we be able to do it? Let's go for it! If you click on the school picture, you'll come to our web site!
