Winners of the “Educational Initiative of the Year 2025/2026” Competition
The competition jury paid particular attention to initiatives that not only impart knowledge but also foster informed and responsible attitudes toward navigating the digital environment. During the evaluation of the entries, the jury primarily considered the creativity and innovation of the approach to implementing educational activities, including the use of modern methods, tools, and formats that engage students in a manner appropriate to their age. Another key criterion was the universality of the developed solutions, enabling their implementation in other educational institutions.
The selection of the first through third-place winners was influenced by the high educational quality of the materials and their engaging, age-appropriate presentation, which promotes knowledge acquisition and the development of digital skills. The selected initiatives combine education with practical activities and address current challenges related to personal data protection in the age of new technologies. The selected initiatives will serve as a valuable source of inspiration for implementing similar activities with students in the future at other schools.
