 Well, good afternoon everyone and welcome to the final of EuroQuiz 2019. My name is Christine Graham and as deputy Presiding Officer, it's a great pleasure to welcome you to the Scottish Parliament this afternoon. Today you're seated at the desk, normally occupied by my colleagues at MSPs and your finalists in here are drawn from primary schools all over Scotland. The first thing is that you've all done very well to get through your heats, to achieve a place in today's final. So big congratulations of all you've made it through to the Scottish Parliament. A round of applause to yourselves for getting in the first place. I'd also like to offer a warm welcome to everyone in the public gallery, friends, teachers, parents and family. You're all very welcome here in this, your Scottish Parliament. I'm delighted that EuroQuiz has returned once again to Holyrood, especially this year as the Parliament is celebrating its 20th anniversary and I have been here 20 years. I came here as a child. This is my third time as Quizmaster and it's great to see such an invasion of primary six pupils and I can say so far that you're much better behaved than the MSPs. I'm always amazed at the level of knowledge you have about our European neighbours. I'd also like to offer special thanks to everyone at the Scottish European Education Trust for their efforts in ensuring the on-going success of this excellent competition. We're also honoured to be joined by the head of European Parliament's office in Scotland, Per Johansson. You've already met this morning. I'm also pleased to say that Per will be lending me his assistance throughout today's final. While I have the relatively—who wrote this? It's not easy—the relatively easy task of asking the questions—sometimes I even know the answers—it will fall to Per to explain the answers, while each round's question sheets are being marked. This EuroQuiz final is also being watched live via our bedcast in classrooms around the country. Can I say hello to all of you out there? I hope that you'll be getting behind your classmates here in the chamber. A very well-welcome to you from everyone here. Another round of applause for your colleagues at school. Finally, I'd like to wish all of our finalists the very best of luck. Of course, if you're attempting to quiz in your classroom or indeed in the public galleries, we'll test you later. I hope that you have an enjoyable day and the best of luck to you, too. Thank you very much. We now move on. I'd like to welcome the schools that have come. When I say your names, can you please wave? I'll give you a little time waving so that we can get you on camera for your school. Eighth junior high, Ersy and Anand Hill primary, Busby primary, Clovenford's primary—you're from my patch, but I'm very unbiased in this. I'm only asking the questions. Cymru Park primary, Cradlehall primary, Dullach primary, Fort Hill primary. Is that on your desk? Is it lit up? I hope that the camera caught on that. Glenburn primary, Gullin primary—how do I say it? Gullin or Gullin? Gullin, that's it, thank you. Hermitage primary, Hopland primary, Huston primary. Ah, Huston, do we have liftoff? Your parents will understand that one. Inverkip primary, James Gillespie's primary, Kelvin Dale primary. That's some mascot you've got. There I can't see you. Is he taking part, or is he taking—is it here or she? The big rabbit thing in the end is a rabbit or a hare. It's a donkey. Lift it up so I can see what it really is. I couldn't see. I can't look like a hare or a rabbit to me. I don't know, but where do we go? I've lost my place. Lensie primary, Meadow primary. Where are you? Hello? Linglithgow primary, Maison Dew primary. Oh, they're good waves. Morriswood primary. You're from my patch as well, but I'm not going to be special about you, okay? Miller forest primary. Our Lady of Goudaid cathedral primary. Hello? Port Mock primary. Robert Gordon's college junior school. Where are you? Ah, there you are. I've got to get this right. Scotland Ruir. Have I got that right? Oh, good. Shappensey. Can I say I've been to Shappensey? So there you are. I've been to your island. St Leonard's primary. St Mary's primary. Right at the back. Strathblain primary. Again at the back, yes. Strathdeven primary. Trequeer primary. And West Kilbride primary. I think you should all hold up your mascots as well. Can I just see what you've brought with you? Oh, my goodness, me. A goose. Don't tell me it's a hen. It looks like a goose. And the donkey that I think looks like a goose. Oh, yes. Oh, what's that? It's a wolf. A what? French mole. A French mole. Wolf. A French wolf. What are you doing? That's taken part Europe too far. I love them all. Thank you for bringing them along. Now I'd like to read a message from John Swinney. I wish I'd brought a mask along now. And this is what he has to say. Because he can't manage today and he'd loved to have been here. He's asked me to say this. EuroQuiz is a wonderful opportunity for young people to learn more about the rich and diverse culture of our European neighbours. It broadens our horizons, allows them to increase their language ability and other core skills while giving them a chance to share that learning with their peers. My wholehearted congratulations to everyone who has participated in this year's EuroQuiz, particularly those competing in the national final. So that's the message from John Swinney. So I'm now going to invite Per Johansson, head of the European Parliament, and obviously I would give an overview and explanation of how the quiz will run, because I'm sure to get it wrong. So I'll listen very carefully. Thank you very much. What a room of knowledge I have in front of me. This is going to be amazing, I'm sure. Thank you Christine. Although you didn't bring a mascot today, you've got me. So and I don't know what you want to call me. A French wolf. Think about it and let us know later. Thank you for your introduction and for being our quiz master today. I am Per Johansson. I am the head of office of the European Parliament liaison office in Edinburgh. Although I'm Swedish by birth, I am certainly European and part of me is as well Scottish, because my wife and daughter are certainly Scottish. So I also have a couple of personal connections to some of the schools here today, but I will be of course totally impartial. My wife is from Helensborough, so Hermitage, and we live in the catchment of James Gillespie, so I've got a few connections there as well. A lot of my work at the moment is concentrating on the European elections coming up on 23 May. So all you kids, please make sure that your parents, older siblings, grandparents and friends go to vote on 23 May, because it's a very important election coming up. I would also like to say congratulations to all of you for making us this far. This is a really, really, really good achievement and also to all your friends and classmates back home for being part of getting you this far. I also want to welcome again all the parents and all the guests, friends, family in the galleries and also all the schools and others watching on the livestream. So remember we're all being filmed and it's all going out to the whole of the world to watch. If you here in the galleries and people at home want to take part in the quiz, which I'm sure you will, and test your knowledge as well, you here in the audience will have answer sheets in the programme with you, so please feel free to test your knowledge as well. I'm just going to tell you a little bit about how the quiz will run. So we will start off with three rounds in which you will all participate. So every team will be part of the first three rounds. We will start with round one, which is 20 questions. And these questions will be asked in pairs. So I will ask you to move into your pairs for the first round. And we will add up the points to give the total score of the team after round one. Then we will go to round two, which is I have to admit my favourite round, the language round. And there you have 15 questions for teams. And here you can discuss your answers within the team, all four of you. First 10 questions of this round will be spoken language questions in four languages, German, Italian, Spanish and French. And then we will follow with five general knowledge question in language. And all these questions have been developed in partnership with Education Scotland and SILT, the Scotland's National Centre for Languages. And they have been recorded by native speakers in all these four languages from Harriet Watt University here in Edinburgh. Then, if we get that far, we will follow on with round three, which will focus on history, culture and European affairs. This round also has 20 questions. And at this stage you will again be asked to work in pairs with the person sitting next to you. And the points will then be added up to give the team score. And after each round I will be taking you through the answers. Christine will give you the questions, I will do the answers, while the papers are being marked. After round three is when it gets really exciting, because then the two teams that are in the lead will go forward to the final round. And the round four, we have ten questions for teams followed by, which I think is the most important and probably most exciting part of the quiz, which is the buzzer round, which will then decide the overall winning team of EuroQuiz 2019 or 2019. And these instructions will be repeated before every round, so don't worry if you didn't get everything right now. But before we start, I just have one question to you all, and that is, are you ready? Did you hear them, Christine? Should we ask again? Are you ready? Very good. So with that, I will hand you over to Christine, because now I'm sure you are ready. Thank you very much, Per. Right, round one, I'm just going to start again in bits, so you don't get lost. Round one will be 20 questions for you to answer in pairs and we'll cover geography. Working with the person next to you, listen to the question, you can then discuss your answer on one of you, just one of you should write the answer on the answer sheet. Remember, you're not allowed to confer with the other pair in your team. You don't need to divorce them like that. I mean, you're miles away now, but I don't think you're going to confer. You should have two yellow answer sheets in front of you, one sheet per pair. Write the name, this is important, write the name of your school at the top and listen carefully to the questions. Please try to spell as well as you can, however, spelling will not count against you as long as the meaning is clear. I'll read the questions and the possible answers. I will ask each question twice and the possible answers when it's multiple choice twice. Please listen carefully as they'll not be repeated after this, but they'll also appear on the screen behind me. So off we go. Question 1, what is the capital of Bulgaria?
