There is no limit to how many teams can take part from each school.
- Does everyone who submits a storyboard get to make a film?
SEET is keen to involve as many schools as possible in Our World. We currently have space for around 24 teams to make films, ideally this will be one team per school. Therefore, if we receive high entry numbers, SEET will select the 24 storyboards we feel best respond to the theme.

Submissions/presentations can be recorded in any format, and should be sent to alex@seet.org.uk (email attachment or OneDrive) or seet.our.world@gmail.com (Google Drive). We recommend using www.wetransfer.com for sending larger files.

All entries must be recorded in English, but part of the film must be in at least one other language. Transcripts in English must be provided for parts of the film that are in another language.
- When will teams be notified about whether they will have a space in a workshop?
Teams will receive feedback by January 2024 about the status of their entry.
- Will there be financial help available to cover costs of transport and/or accommodation associated with the film making workshop?
As a very small charity operating in an increasingly competitive funding environment, we must allocate our limited resources thoughtfully to ensure the sustainability of our projects. We regret to inform schools participating in both Euroquiz and Our World events that, due to current financial limitations, we have been forced to significantly reduce our travel budget meant to support schools from areas of socio-economic disadvantage and rural areas to access our project events. As a result, we have produced a travel fundraising toolkit for schools. We may be able to offer partial support with travel to project events in extreme cases, although any school wishing to receive financial support from SEET will need to apply by emailing info@seet.org.uk, and the request will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. We remain fully committed to finding alternative ways to support and engage with our beneficiaries, and we appreciate your understanding and continued support during this challenging time.
- How long are finished films?
Finished films are usually around 3 minutes long. They should be no shorter than 1 minute and no longer than 5 minutes.
- Can you bring any footage with you?
Yes, if you want to pre-record footage at your school you can do so and bring it with you. You are allowed to bring up to 1 minute of footage with you. Just remember to film in landscape and ensure you can drop the footage onto the iPad.
- Do you wear school uniforms to workshops?
You don't have to wear school uniforms to the workshops, but teachers can decide you should if they wish.
