EuroQuiz 2025 Final: Three Winning Teams Will Travel to Brussels
On May 7, 2025, the grand final of the national EuroQuiz 2025 competition took place at the Palace of the Republic. The event brought together 41 teams from across Moldova, including Chișinău – over 200 students in total – who demonstrated their knowledge of the European Union’s history, institutions, values, and Moldova’s European integration journey.
After a spirited competition, the top prize went to the “Balofaghi” team from Axentie Doljnenco Theoretical Lyceum in Vulcănești district. Second place was won by the “Vitejii” team from Mihai Viteazul Lyceum in Chișinău, and third place went to the “Cinci Hași” team from Spiru Haret Lyceum, also in Chișinău.
President Maia Sandu, attending the event, spoke to the participants about the benefits of European integration, emphasizing that EU accession will open up new perspectives and opportunities for the younger generation: “Moldova is heading towards the EU because we want a better life for everyone – and young people will benefit the most from this choice.”
Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration, Cristina Gherasimov, noted: “EuroQuiz is more than a competition. You are all finalists of this first edition. It’s a way of bringing Europe closer to our homes. Europe is about people and solidarity, and you have worked together in that spirit – you’ve formed a team. The European Union is also a team of 27 member states, and Moldova wants to be part of this great European family.”
Minister of Education and Research, Dan Perciun, highlighted: “Your active participation shows you’re ready to become informed, engaged European citizens, able to contribute to building a Moldova aligned with European values.”
EU Ambassador to Moldova, Jānis Mažeiks, added: “The knowledge you’ve gained through EuroQuiz is a solid foundation for understanding the European integration process and a step forward in shaping a new generation of European citizens.”
Swedish Minister for European Affairs, Jessica Rosencrantz, also present at the ceremony, said: “I’m convinced that Moldova’s European future is in good hands.”
The winners of EuroQuiz 2025 will travel to Brussels – the heart of the European Union. All 200+ finalists will also attend a summer camp in Romania. Coordinating teachers received recognition diplomas, educational games, backpacks, and book vouchers in appreciation of their dedication.
The EuroQuiz 2025 competition was organized by the Bureau for European Integration, the Ministry of Education and Research, the National Youth Agency, and the Association of Intellectual Games, in partnership with the EU Delegation to the Republic of Moldova.
