"We want to present students and their teachers with an opportunity to explore Europe as a network of exchanges: in culture and science, in politics and economy...
People in Europe have always corresponded and travelled to exchange their ideas and inventions. And they are still doing so. Every European is part of this ongoing network of European civilization.
We invite you to participatein a contest: do your own research, discover how your town or region is connected to Europe and write an essay on one of the proposed themes like the post, the lens,the portrait, the keyboard or the (secret) Ballot.
Contributions by students will be the beginning of an interactive website on the history of European civilisation, intended for students of upper secondary schools in Europe. The best essays will be awarded. Choose a theme, write for the site and be a part of Europe. "
This exhibit was organized as part of Silk Road Seattle, a collaborative public education project exploring cultural interaction across Eurasia from the first century BCE to the sixteenth century CE
