The event allows schools to learn about the EU's decision-making process. The 2020 event took place in February in Dublin Castle. The topic was the European Green Deal, specifically reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Aistritheoirí Óga – comórtas uile-oileáin Is é an Coimisiún Eorpach i gcomhar le Rialtas na hÉireann a eagraíonn an comórtas seo. Is comórtas é le haghaidh daltaí meánscoile in Éirinn, thuaidh agus theas, a bhfuil 15 bliana slánaithe acu ar an 1 Méan Fómhair den scoilbhliain sin agus a bhfuil sé ar a gcumas aistriúchán a dhéanamh ó Bhéarla go Gaeilge, nó ó roinnt eile de theangacha oifigiúla an Aontais Eorpaigh go Gaeilge. Seoltar an comórtas i mí na Samhna/mí na Nollag gach bliain agus is san earrach a bhíonn Lá an Chomórtais.

Juvenes Translatores – the multilingual translation competition for secondary schools This annual translation competition is open to students across the European Union who are 17 years of age and who have the ability to translate between any two of the EU's 24 official languages. The competition is launched in September each year. All entries are then entered into a random draw and 705 schools are invited to proceed to the next stage. The final number of participating schools per country is equal to the number of MEPs representing that country – i.e. 13 for Ireland. The winners - one per country - are announced in early February and prizes are presented at a special ceremony in Brussels during the Spring.
