In total, over 1,800 young people aged 4 to 19, from a record 15 different cantons, participated in the Eduki competition. The jury awarded 22 winning projects among 126 submitted works, projects, and media. The Françoise Demole Scholarship committee decided to support three ambitious projects.
For the award ceremony, 600 students and teachers gathered at the Palais des Nations, the UN headquarters in Geneva, to celebrate the work accomplished during the school year. In this emblematic venue of international Geneva, students had the opportunity to discover the awarded projects for their excellence, creativity, and impact.
