The rules of the game

The European Chain Reaction 2025 is a science/art project for primary schools wishing to create, film and upload a "Rube-Goldberg/Robert Storm Petersen-like" chain reaction. This project is a competition and a European collaboration! The school which uploads the most astonishing, creative chain reaction not only wins a trophy, but also wins tons of fame! In the end all videos will be emerged into ONE BIG CROSS BORDER EUROPEAN CHAIN REACTION

This eTwinning project allows as many as possible European schools - all from different countries - to enter the competition! By entering the competition you agree to the following rules:

TIMELINE

- When you enter the competition, your school e-mails an image of the school and a short text in which the school presents herself!

- Your kids present themselves in a short video. The best way to do this is by presenting themselves in a human chain reaction.
This video should be uploaded by Friday November 29th 2024.

- You and your class will have until Friday January 31st 2025 to create, practice, film and upload a video of your chain reaction to a video site (like Vimeo, Youtube ..) and embed it in this blog.

- When all videos are uploaded to the blog every school will watch the entries of the other participants and will decide on which countries receive which amount of points.

- All points should be e-mailed to Jan Erik Log by Friday February 7th 2025.

- On Friday February 14th 2025 at 11:00 hrs (Brussels time) a newsflash announcing who will be the winner of the project will be published on this website.

RULES

1. Only one school from each country will be allowed to enter. We would like to have as many as possible European countries involved!

2. The European Chain Reaction 2025 project is for primary schools and kindergarten schools only!

3. Once you have agreed to enter and submitted your request to the project coordinator, Dave Schrauwen or Jan Erik Log you will receive an invitation to become a partner in the project, followed later by a separate invitation to contribute to the project's blog. You need to sign up for the blog, whereby you will be able to upload your finished chain reaction in due course. In addition you will be asked to send a brief description of your school, along with a photograph, that will be added to the blog, so that each country can see who is taking part.

4. All schools will upload a short video in which they present themselves so all contestants can get to know their opponents/partners! The best way to do this is by creating a human chain reaction video!

5. The actual technological chain reaction should be created and practiced by the students and their teachers (giving them advice) only! The chain reaction has to be a technological chain reaction. Children may appear in the video shortly, but the technological aspect is the most important!

6. The length of the chain reaction video should be at least 30 seconds. The video may be shot by the teacher or the children.

7. Every partner is responsible for his own entry! When inserting music into the video, please use music that is copyright free. You could use a creative commons sound or song. You can find free sounds and music here: http://dig.ccmixter.org/

8. All entries should be completed by Friday January 31st 2025. When your chain reaction is ready, you upload the video of this chain reaction to the blog, via www.blogger.com using either the “upload video” section of the site, or by uploading your video to Vimeo, YouTube, ... then copying and pasting the embed code into your blog post. All files MUST be uploaded by Friday January 26th, as each country will then need to watch all the entries and judge them during the following weeks.

9. Please encourage your children to post a comment on the videos sent in by other countries. By doing so, your children will learn some ICT -skills and learn to express themselves in a foreign language.

10. Once you and your pupils have watched each entry and chosen your favourites, email your choices to Jan Erik Log, BEFORE Friday February 7th. YOU MUST NOT VOTE FOR YOUR OWN ENTRY!

11. The video / chain reaction that gets the most points is of course the winner! If we come in the situation that we have two (or more!) winners, the video with the most number one points will win. If thats's also an equal number, we go to most second places etc....

12. The newsflash in which the winner of the competition will be announced, and the European Chain Reaction will be showed, will be added to the blog, on Friday February 14th at 11:00 Brussels time, in order for everyone to find out at the same time who has won the competition!

GOOD LUCK to all countries!
Enjoy making your entry, and watching all the other entries!

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!
