2010 Campaign

Background

In celebration of WupY “What’s up Youth” 2nd anniversary, a Ten-Days Competition is previewed; the competition addresses the young active people of the world and allows them to express their opinions, support and vision to “Peace and the culture of Peace”, through:

. Writing (articles, blog posts, stories, scripts, testimonials, journal pages and poetry)

. Art gallery (for artistic expression and Podcast about Culture of Peace)

Thus encouraging:

. The uses of new tools and new materials in support of a noble goal (Peace).

. The hidden talents of young activists, artists and inventors from around the globe.

The Competition will indeed rely on the Internet, new ICTs and social media platforms, and will be hosted on the pages of WupY and published by an important number of local, regional and international partners.
