A contest where the young can speak out
Play
To all those who consider themselves 'young people', reside in Asia and the Pacific, and want to improve the future of learning, here's a contest.
Unesco Bangkok is calling for young people to make their voices heard through an article/film contest on the future of learning. Winners will receive a tablet computer and their entries will feature in Unesco media. Deadline for submission is October 26.
In November 2012, Unesco Asia and the Pacific Regional Bureau for Education in Bangkok will bring together experts to discuss: “Rethinking Learning in a Changing World”. The meeting will discuss what future learning should include from the perspective of educationalists, learning scientists and economists.
This contest is a chance to be part of the discussion and to make the voice of young people matter. What is “learning of good quality?” What kind of learning is required to provide us – young people – with the skills we need for an increasingly connected and constantly changing world? Do you feel your education has prepared you for the future? What should young people be learning, and how should they be learning it?
You can answer these questions and help inform Unesco’s discussions on the future of learning.
Entries can be submitted in English. In case of a video/film, any spoken text in other languages should be accompanied with English subtitles.
Entries can be made in two categories: A: Video/film; B: Written article. Only one entry per category may be submitted on behalf of a single individual or an organisation. Contestants cannot win in both categories (video/film and written article).
