The jury of the 10th edition of the Global Junior Challenge has completed the evaluation and selection of the submitted projects. The 55 finalist projects, organised by category, will participate in the GJC final event that will be held in Rome on December 15-17, 2021.

The focus of the 2021 edition, promoted in collaboration with the Centro Studi Erickson, is the innovative and inclusive use of new technology for high quality education during the Covid-19 emergency. Objective 4 of the Agenda 2030 is declined in terms of the pandemic that has affected schools worldwide. The GJC addresses all organisations that, during the health emergency, developed one or more projects blending innovation and quality education.
