EUROPEAN YOUTH COMPETITION - 22.01.2025

EUROPEAN YOUTH COMPETITION CULTURE PAST, CULTURE FUTURE
by the British Council

In partnership with the Alexander S. Onassis Public Benefit Foundation, we are launching a European Youth Competition on the legacy of Greek thinking and culture as one of the foundations of contemporary thought within the framework of the international conference taking place in Athens on 24-27 November 2010 entitled The Athens Dialogues: An International Conference on Culture & Civilization.
The competition invites the younger generation of European students, scientists, researchers, journalists, writers, artists, theorists and aspirant academics between the ages of 21 and 30 to contribute to the dialogue about the legacy of Greek culture and thinking in confronting the challenges of the 21st century.
At the same time, it aims to provide young people from all over Europe with a web-based platform for expression and interaction with each other as well as with acclaimed thinkers and academics from all over the world.
The Culture Past Culture, Culture Future Competition is a joint EUNIC Greece project organised by the British Council, the Goethe-Institut, the Danish Institute, the Instituto Cervantes, the House of Cyprus, the Swedish Institute and the Hellenic Foundation of Culture.
The competition invites you to submit a paper or an essay of up to 3,000 words on one of the six following themes to be discussed at The Athens Dialogues International Conference:
Identity and Difference
Stories and Histories
Word and Art
Democracy and Governance
Science and Ethics
Quality of Life

The format of the paper/essay is open, which means that candidates may opt for a formal academic paper or an essay, according to their field of research and interest (e.g. Α young researcher may opt for an academic paper with footnotes while a young journalist or writer may prefer to submit an essay).
