ESSAY CONTEST “YOUTH VOICES FROM CENTRAL ASIA – UN75 AND REGIONAL PEACE AND SECURITY”

ESSAY CONTEST “YOUTH VOICES FROM CENTRAL ASIA – UN75 AND REGIONAL PEACE AND SECURITY”

June 9, 2020

UN Regional Centre for Preventive Diplomacy for Central Asia (UNRCCA) is launching a contest to gather the ideas of young people from Central Asia and Afghanistan.
Your entry should focus on your vision of the world in 2045 and how we make it happen. Be creative! Your essay can include photos or drawings too. Since UNRCCA is all about preventive diplomacy, your essay should reflect on regional peace and security, the Youth, Peace, and Security agenda, the Women, Peace and Security agenda, or any other area of the work of the United Nations Security Council.

Here’s some questions to get you started:

  • What does preventive diplomacy mean to you, and how can it help you achieve your vision of the future?
  • How can countries work together more effectively to achieve the future you want?
  • How has COVID-19 affected peace and security in your community, your country, or your region? What can help to make things better?
  • What can you do by yourself to create the world we want? What are you doing for a better world? How can the UN help you?
  • What is the role of young people in international and regional peace and security? Young women? People with disabilities?
  • What action can we take right now to make a better world for future generations?
  • What kind of future do you want for your children and grandchildren, and how can regional peace and security issues affect their future?

Entries must be received by 31 July 2020!

Winning essays will be published in a book in English and Russian that will help ensure the voices of young people from Central Asia and Afghanistan are well represented in the global UN75 dialogue.
