The UNESCO Baltic Sea Project’s WebQuiz is an annual event organized by the UNESCO Associated Schools Baltic Sea Project since 2013.
Every year over a thousand students from nine different countries around the Baltic Sea take part in it. By participating in the Quiz the students can improve their knowledge about the Baltic Sea ecosystems, environmental awareness and understanding of sustainable development. Also build critical thinking skills, testi online information searching skills and learn English. The WebQuiz can be done as part of a Natural Science class or English class at school, also as a part of home schooling or distance learning program. The questions are created by the teachers, coordinators, international science centers and co-operation partners of the project.
All students from age 10 to 19 years old and living in the Baltic Sea region are welcome to participate, although prizes are only given to the best of the Baltic Sea Project network’s schools.
