Secondary schools are invited to take part in EpiK, an international project linked to the European Year of the Normans.

  • One pupil joining the international Freedom Prize jury

The project will close with a residential visit to Normandy in June 2027, including cultural visits and the Freedom Prize ceremony in Caen.

One school will be selected (16–18 learners and 2 teachers). Schools cover travel costs; all hosting is funded by the Normandy Region.
