Spanish Competition for 5th Years

Spanish Competition 5th Years

The Post-Primary Languages Initiative in collaboration with the Consejería de Educación de la Embajada de España en Dublin is delighted to announce its annual competition for 5th year students of Spanish. La Junta de Castilla y León and the Spanish Tourist Office in Dublin are sponsoring the competition.

THEME

Create a 2-minute video taking place in Castilla y León. The video should incorporate an artifact from Irish daily life, such as a hurley, a kettle, a potato masher, etc. which is not widely used in Spain. You need to integrate it in your video so that you show its normal use, and some creative new uses and then to think of some creative new uses, if you were to take it with you on a trip to Castilla y León. How could this very ‘Irish’ object become part of your trip? You can take your inspiration from movies, songs, or adverts. Creativity and cultural knowledge as well as language competence will be rewarded.

PRIZES

1ST PRIZE:

3 scholarships to cover the cost of flights, accommodation and language school for a week in Castilla y León during the summer of 2019 for 2 students and their teacher.

2ND AND 3RD PRIZE:

3 scholarships each to cover the cost of a one-week language course and accommodation for 2 students and their teacher during the summer of 2019.
