Today, an educational and entertaining quiz for high school students, titled Youth and the European Capital of Culture, was held at Freedom Square. The event gathered a large number of young people who, through team competition, had the opportunity to test their knowledge of the European cultural scene and learn more about the role of youth in contemporary cultural trends and European Capital of Culture projects.
The quiz questions were structured into three competitive rounds: the first round focused on general knowledge, the second on EU integration and European values, and the third on the topic of the European Capital of Culture.
Students from four high schools participated: Gymnasium “Stojan Cerović,” Secondary Economic and Hospitality School, First Secondary Vocational School, and Secondary Vocational School. Competitors demonstrated a remarkable level of knowledge, creativity, and team spirit, while the atmosphere at Freedom Square was dynamic and full of positive energy.
In the quiz finale, after a series of interesting and closely contested questions, the victory went to the team from Secondary Vocational School Nikšić, showing the highest level of knowledge and teamwork on the topic Youth and the European Capital of Culture. The winner was determined by a final associative game, similar to the popular word-guessing game, in which one team member, wearing headphones and unable to see the word, tries to guess it based on explanations from their teammates.
It was emphasized that the quiz’s goal was to further motivate young people to actively participate in the cultural life of their community and recognize their role in European cultural initiatives.
The event attracted great interest from passersby and demonstrated that such activities have significant educational and social potential. The quiz once again confirmed that young people have the knowledge, ideas, and desire to be active contributors to the European cultural story.
