We are excited to introduce two amazing opportunities for high school students to unleash their creativity and take a stand against accent and language discrimination!
As part of the Erasmus+ project *Counteracting Accent Discrimination Practices in Education (CIRCE)*, we’re launching two dynamic contests that encourage students to explore themes of diversity, inclusion, and integration.
First, the Video Contest: Act Vocally, Think Globally! invites young filmmakers to craft compelling narratives and tell powerful stories through the lens of their cameras. It’s a chance to express a vision for a more inclusive world.
Second, the Short Story Writing Contest: Eliminate Discrimination, Embrace Integration! gives budding writers a platform to showcase their literary talents, imagination, and commitment to promoting acceptance. Both contests offer high school students an exciting way to highlight their artistic potential and make their voices heard on important issues.
Join us in fostering creativity, celebrating diversity, and championing equality through these innovative competitions!
