|
The World Bank has launched an Essay Competition on
January 12 and your assistance is needed to reach out
to as many participants as possible. The Competition
is open to all young people, students and non-students
alike, between 18 and 25 years old and can be
submitted in English, French and Spanish.
WHY this Essay Competition and WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT?
In many of the world's current crises e.g. armed
conflict, HIV/AIDS,unemployment, financial instability
- young people are on the front lines and are the main
victims. To learn what the lack of a secure future
really means to young people, to understand how they
deal with this challenge in their daily lives, and
enlist their help in finding solutions, the World Bank
is holding a World Essay Competition for students and
young people.
Topic of the Essay Competition:
"Building a Secure Future? Seeking Practical
Solutions"
*What are the biggest obstacles you face in your daily
life?
*What practical solutions would you propose to build a
secure future for yourself and others?
Winning essays will be chosen for their originality,
clarity and use of thoughtful yet concrete proposals
for building a secure future. You are free to develop
your essay in any way you find to be the most
convincing.
