Participants of the event

More than 150 students and almost 20 teachers from 12 schools participated in EURONET 50/50 MAX final event celebration in Częstochowa on 15th of April 2016. The event took place in the Primary School no 21. The event was officially opened by Bożena Herbuś, City Engineer of Częstochowa.

PNEC prepared many attractions for students in the form of energy contest. Energy teams had 7 tasks to complete while visiting 7 stands. They were equipped with cards filled with task description and questions that students were supposed to complete. Each time, after providing a correct answer or completing the task, the team received colored card with a letter. After collecting all the letters, the teams could build up the project name - “EURONET” and pose to an energetic photo. The students had a lot of fun and their photos were full of positive energy and power!

Attractions for Energy teams:
