Is there any global or EU project for motivating schools to use Ubuntu and Linux in general?
I'm trying to find a way to better motivate my co-workers in primary school to use Ubuntu in our small country.
I did migrate most of them in school to Ubuntu about a year and a half ago. And to motivate them, and show that they are doing something special, I would love to say to them "Because you were all so brave to switch from MS to Linux, our school is now a part of [some big name project]…blabla…TV, reporters…"
So basically I'm searching for something like MS "innovative" schools.

The closest I have come up with is Ubuntu Insights case studies for schools.
I would advise you to contact Canonical directly on this and see how they can help out.
Edubuntu:
The edubuntu project is a grassroots movement, that aims to get Ubuntu into schools, homes and communities and make it easy for users to install and maintain their systems.
This is Ubuntu but specifically for schools and comes pre-installed with many school-related applications installed including TuxPaint, TuxMath, and TuxTyping, among others.
