CONTESTS & COMPETITIONS
Every year between 2014 and 2020, FRSE announced the next editions of the EDUinspiracje Awards and European Language Label, launched many years earlier. These initiatives were later complemented by the Selfie+ photo contest addressed to beneficiaries of educational programmes, and the WorldSkills and EuroSkills competitions promoting the achievements of young professionals.

The main purpose of disseminating project outcomes results is their re-use. This will not only maximise the impact of the programme on the work of organisations, institutions and individuals not involved in specific projects, but will also allow beneficiaries promote the results achieved Based on: Program Erasmus+ w Polsce.

he Selfie+ platform was launched in 2015 to support the beneficiaries’ efforts aimed at promoting and disseminating project outcomes in the most accessible and attractive way – through images. Videos and photos posted online by participants present inspiring moments that happened during projects. Via the platform, participants and institutions conducting activities under the programme could submit their photos to the Selfie+ photo contest. Initially, beneficiaries of the School Education sector could enter the contest, but the great interest in the initiative quickly resulted in opening it to all Erasmus+ sectors. Since 2017, the competition also was attended by beneficiaries of the Operational Programme Knowledge Education Development, the Polish-Lithuanian Youth Exchange Fund and the Polish-Ukrainian Council of Youth Exchange. The winning photos were selected by the Foundation’s experts at the end of each year. Their authors received awards and diplomas during the Selfie+ awards ceremony. From the launch of the platform, 2,390 images, including 116 videos, have been published, and in six editions of the Selfie+ contest organised in the years 2015–2020, 152 photos were awarded.
