Halloween in Europe: Student Instructions

Halloween in Europe


The poster gives you ideas for real-life “monsters”. Your task is to create a contribution about a problem or threat that affects the European Union or its democratic values.


1. Choose a “monster”

You can choose one of the examples on the poster:

- Fake news and misinformation

- Sexism and gender-based violence

- Bullying or cyberbullying

- Lack of information about the EU and our rights


You may also consider other examples of real-life "monsters":

- Hate speech: attacking people online because of their identity or beliefs.

- Racism and xenophobia: treating people unfairly because of their background or nationality.

- Discrimination against people with disabilities: making it harder for someone to participate fully in school or society.

- Online scams and identity theft: tricking people into giving away money or personal information.

- Invasion of privacy: sharing someone’s photos or personal details without permission.

- Pressure to look perfect online: making people feel that their appearance or life is never good enough.

- Sextortion and online grooming: using threats or manipulation to control or exploit someone online.

- Human trafficking and exploitation: taking away people’s freedom and rights for someone else’s benefit.

- Unequal access to education or technology: preventing some young people from having the same opportunities as others.

- Environmental damage: polluting or destroying natural spaces and harming people’s health.

- Waste and overconsumption: using resources carelessly and creating avoidable pollution.

- Voter manipulation: spreading misleading information and fake news to influence people’s choices.

- Corruption: using a position of power unfairly for personal gain.

- Loneliness and social exclusion: leaving people out and making them feel that they do not belong.

You can also choose another real "monster" (problem) that is not in this list. 


BRAINSTORMING FOR YOUR REAL-LIFE (HALLOWEEN) MONSTERS PROJECT:

Think about how it affects values such as equality, fairness, respect, sustainability, human rights, reliable information and inclusion. Explain why it matters and suggest a way to challenge it.

For your project, choose one specific example, explain which European value it threatens, and suggest one realistic way to challenge it.


2. Choose your format: You can create a video, a Canva design, a news story, a hand-drawn poster or mural, a book cover, a leaflet, a banner, or another creative contribution. Keep your message clear and include the campaign slogan: “This Halloween, let’s fight the real monsters!”


3. Work on your own or with others. You can work individually or in a group with other EPAS ambassadors from your class. Each person or group can make a separate contribution. We do not all need to appear in one video: we will still be part of the same campaign because we share the idea and slogan.


4. Send in your contribution: Send your work to your teacher in google classroom so it can be included in the Instagram campaign. Follow your teacher’s instructions about how it will be shared.


5. CHECK the evaluation rubric of your final product.


Deadline: Monday, 2 November 2026. The original deadline was extended because 1 November falls on a Sunday.

The EPAS coordinator at IES Llombai plans to bring together contributions from their students and from other schools that join. More than 200 students have already become part of the campaign!

See the [EPAS Al-Qázeres campaign webpage](https://alqaepas.blogspot.com/2026/10/halloween-europeo.html) for the campaign details.
