Duna Box (Duna Ismerettár) School Competition 2009 - online and on the river

Young Danube experts from all over Hungary were testing their Danube knowledge in the Duna Box School Competition 2009 – online and with challenging tasks out of the Hungarian Danube Box.

The Hungarian Ministry of Environment and Water, the Ministry of Education and Global Water Partnership Hungary (GWP Hungary) in partnership with Coca-Cola Hungary had jointly invited for the second time to the Duna Box school competition in spring 2009:

400 Hungarian school groups had participated in the motivating competition. Split into two categories of age the students had to pass two rounds responding online to a wide range of questions on Danube issues. The task to explore a river close to their school and to research its functions and problems highlighted the competition.

The best teams met to compete in Budapest in the last week of May. 48 students were puzzling, problem solving, designing and showing their Danube solidarity.

State Secretary Mr. István Kling handed over the prizes to the winning teams and finally a big cruise on the Danube recompensed all participants for their great efforts.
