The annual international cross-curricular competition enables young people to have their say on war and conflict through the creative arts. The competition is completely free to enter.
This year’s theme is… The Unheard Voices of Conflict: Stories from Around the World
Share your reflections on conflict or give a voice to those who may not have one. To inspire your poetry, art, speech or song, use the 5Ws to explore the theme.
Who? This could be a conflict that has affected you / your family, or you could bring to light someone else’s story.
What? Conflict comes in many forms. What conflict affects you?
When? You can look at a historical or current conflict.
Where? This could be within your local community or around the world.
Why? New voices and perspectives are important if we are to understand the true impact of conflict.
Some examples of an ‘unheard voice’ could include: A personal family story relating to conflict, the feelings of a service child who has a parent deployed, the perspective of people from a defeated army, refugees fleeing from their homes, the perspective of indigenous or minority groups, young people caught in the midst of conflict, or if animals could speak - what would they say? Feel free to be creative with how you interpret the theme! Scroll down to see some examples created by other young people!
