Transition Year students from Rosses Community School have been crowned the European Champions of the Euronext Blue Challenge.
The Blue Challenge boosts financial literacy and encourages innovation to limit climate change, whilst also fostering the Blue Economy amongst young entrepreneurs in nine countries.
Students Darragh Davidson, Louie Mort, Dylan Doherty and Conor Mc Bride presented their mini enterprise project created using the oceans resources.
They created a seaweed fertiliser to tackle rising methane levels.
They competed against students from Belgium, Norway, Denmark, France, Italy, Portugal, The Netherlands and the UK.
Their teacher and mentor Ms Deirdre O’ Reilly said she was so proud of her students.
“They are so capable and driven, their ambition really shone through in their presentation,” Ms O’Reilly said.
The innovative team were previously awarded the National Champions in a competition held in the Euronext Stock Exchange in Dublin last week.
The Transition Year Business and Economics class also squeezed in a visit to Trinity College Dublin during their trip.
