As today's young people are crucial for the shaping of our future, it is
imperative that they are enabled to develop to their full potential.
UNESCO's objective is to help empower young people, reaching out to
them, responding to their expectations and ideas, and fostering useful
and long-lasting skills.
This annual essay contest is organized in an effort to harness the
energy, imagination and initiative of the world's youth in promoting a
culture of peace and sustainable development. It also aims to inspire
society to learn from the young minds and to think about how each of us
can make a difference in the world.
THEME:
"The Power of Culture to Create a Better Future"
Every part of the world has its own culture. Culture includes the arts,
traditions and customs of a country or region, as well as the wisdom,
values, lifestyles and trends of the people living there. In order to
build a peaceful world, we need to acknowledge and respect each other's
cultures. What aspects of the culture in your country or region do you
take pride in? How can youth make the most of them to create a better
future?
