International Contest for Young People
My Country, Our World
The ‘My country, our world in 2030’essay competition, organised in the context of the May 2019 European elections, is an opportunity for students and young people to provide insights on how they see the future of both their country and Europe more broadly. Some of the leading questions are:
- How do you think your country will be governed and how will it be positioned in the European and global economic and political scene in 2030?
- What are the main developments that will characterise your country and Europe in the future?
- What do you think the words ‘world’, ‘Europe’, and ‘country’ will mean to you more than a decade from now?
The authors of the best five selected essays will be invited to present their papers at a public event hosted by the DOC in Berlin, as well as at the 2019 DOC Rhodes Forum in the presence of heads of state and government and other high-level guests. In addition, the winners will receive awards including travel opportunities, free participation in summer schools, and laptops.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
