The competition aims to raise awareness about European cultural values, the milestones of European integration and the 50 years of unity in diversity.

The “50 Years Together in Diversity” school competition is being run by European Schoolnet on behalf of the Museum of Europe.

European Schoolnet (EUN) is an international partnership of 28 ministries of education in Europe, providing major European education portals for teaching, learning and school collaboration. European Schoolnet also develops insight into educational use of ICT (Information and Communications Technologies) in Europe, for policy-makers and education professionals.

The non-profit association Museum of Europe is chaired jointly by two former Belgian Ministers of State, Ms Antoinette Spaak and Mr. Karel Van Miert, former Vice-President of the European Commission. The Museum of Europe is a cultural institution with the mission of showing Europeans the roots of their common civilisation, and aims to build a Museum of Europe in Brussels. “It is our history: 50 years of European Adventure” is the inaugural exhibition of the Museum.
