What age group are you targeting?
14-18 year olds.
How many students should participate in the activities of the junior ambassadors?
It is totally up to you. We have schools with anywhere between 4 and 60 Junior Ambassadors.
We suggest teams of 3-5 run each activity, in this way no one student is overwhelmed and lots have the chance to participate. A school might run 3-8 events of varying sizes over the course of the year to gain accreditation.
Are there resources that can be shared with Ambassadors?
Yes, there are guides for Junior Ambassadors here: Ambassador School Resources
And lesson plans and resources here: Lesson Plans
What does accreditation and certification look like for students?
Each year we award certificates to all Junior and Senior Ambassadors of schools that have successfully completed the programme. Each school also gets a plaque to display.
We have an awards ceremony at Europe House, and organise regional award ceremonies when possible.
Can countries from outside the UK participate?
EPAS is run in every country in the EU + the UK. We just support UK schools that are participating. If your school would like to participate, but you’re not in the UK, find your local EPLO office and ask them about how to get involved where you are.
