Participants wrote a convincing essay on one of the four topics, setting out their ideas and, of course, the solution to the chosen issue. On Wednesday 17 April, ten participants for each topic had the opportunity to pitch their ideas to a Jury in The Hague.
Aeres students won sixteen prizes in total, and won the first prize for every topic. We’re very proud!
