Pedro Arrupe Award 2010-2011
JRS Europe is glad to announce the launch of the Fourth Edition of the Pedro Arrupe Award (2010-2011 edition).
What is Pedro Arrupe Award?
It’s a project organised by the Jesuit Refugee Service – Europe (JRS-E) to raise awareness of refugees among students who attend Jesuit schools and other schools linked to JRS.
The Pedro Arrupe Award offers the chance to win a trip to a JRS project in Europe!
Students, in small groups of 3-5 people, will:
-
First, study refugee issues
-
Then, create an original project to demonstrate what they have learnt.
You can submit: Videos, Novels, Paintings, Websites, Research essays, Radio programmes, And much more!
First of all, you need to get some basic information and understanding of refugee issues: attend specific classes organised by your teachers to introduce you to the theme, then access the student’s resources JRS-E has provided.
For the new edition of the Pedro Arrupe Award, The Jesuit Refugee Service-Europe would also like to offer schools the possibility to organise meetings with refugees during which students can establish direct contacts and get an in-depth perspective on refugees in Europe.
Our national offices will be at your disposal to set up a meeting and to support you during the whole duration of the project and for the evaluation of the entries at national level. You can find a list of JRS-Europe’s national offices at: http://www.jrseurope.org/countryoff.htm
