The final event of the International Global Junior Challenge will be held on December 15-17. The Awards Ceremony will be held on the final day in the Campidoglio’s Sala Giulio Cesare.
Promoted by the City of Rome and organised every two years by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale, since 2017, the GJC is dedicated to the memory of Tullio De Mauro (Torre Annunziata 1932 - Rome 2017), linguist, professor emeritus and scholar of international education systems.
The Global Junior Challenge, currently in its 10th edition, recognises the most innovative projects that employ new technology for education and youth training. The 2021 edition, promoted in collaboration with the Erickson Publishing House, is dedicated to the innovative and inclusive use of new technology for high-quality education during the Covid-19 emergency.
Based on the ongoing evolution of the health emergency, we are fine-tuning some aspects of the programme, but here are the main appointments:
