OUR EUROPE Competition

“What are the benefits of being European for a young Scottish person?” That was the main topic of this competition set by the Scottish European Educational Trust (SEET) aimed to young students from all around Scotland.

A group of four S3 pupils from Cardinal Newman High School, Holly McIntyre, Louise McCann, Jennifer Wardale and Kelsey Wilson, passed the preliminary phases of this competition, hence getting the opportunity to go to a Day Workshop in Glasgow, on Monday the 14th of March.

Holly, Louise, Jennifer and Kelsey had been working on their idea, storyboard and script for some time, and it was with high excitement that on Monday 14 they attended the Workshop, in the Society M, Renfield st. Only later during the day, they admitted being surprised about the little amount of groups that were finalists with them!

After that, a media professional from Glo Scotland gave the pupils some key advices on filming and editing.

The rest of the day was occupied by the girls with the filming and editing of their short film. It was an enjoyable and challenging experience all together, and the girls themselves confessed at the end of it, that they were pleased about their work, although they struggled a bit and were a bit worried at first about not being able to film and edit everything in time.

It was a stimulating and interesting experience all together, and all four, Holly, Louise, Jennifer and Kelsey are excited about attending the Premiere and Award Ceremony which will take place on Monday the 21st of March. They are looking forward to seeing all the finished films and finding out who the winners are.
