THE FONIX
is a competition for students attending Catalan schools. It is aimed at
encouraging English learning among primary and secondary school students and
learners at adult education centres.
Students may participate in the
competition only through the school where they are enrolled.
This year,
in the 11th edition of the competition, we are introducing a new format that is
organised in two stages and has the following features:
- Development of critical and
reflective thinking.
- Problem-solving and seeking of creative
solutions.
- Use of digital environments and
transmedia communication.
- A focus on values related to ethical
issues defined in UNESCO’s 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, equity,
solidarity and social cohesion.
