Project history
SV09
Schoolovision is now into its 3rd year, having been created early in 2009, as an idea to link primary schools from across Europe using the eTwinning platform in a project based on the Eurovision Song Contest.
Each participating country has the chance to choose a song, sing it and video it, before uploading it to the blog by the cut-off date, usually around 1 week before the real ESC. Then, all the pupils in all the participating countries watch and evaluate all the songs, before voting for their own personal favourite, usually the day before the real ESC. For this extra special live vote, we use the webcam conferencing tool, FlashMeeting.
Schoolovision 2009! was the first year of the competition, with a total of 30 countries taking part. The winners were ZS Husova school from Brno in the Czech Republic, with their beautiful song Hejkal.
In 2010, we had a larger entry, with 34 countries eager to win Schoolovision 2010! The standards were extremely high, and the winning song in a nailbiting live-vote came from Flataskoli Gardabaer in Iceland. Their entry was this fantastic version of Abba's Dancing Queen.
Who will triumph in 2011? Let the fun begin!
