Many Languages, One World contest
ELS Educational Services, Inc. has announced the third year of their sponsorship, in conjunction with the United Nations, for the Many Languages, One World (MLOW) student essay contest and Global Youth Forum, 2016. The contest will qualify contestants for a trip to New York to participate in the United Nations Global Youth Forum.
The goal of the MLOW Student Essay Contest and Global Youth Forum is to support multilingualism and recognise the continued impact of the United Nations’ six official languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish. For this year’s contest, 10 winners will be selected from entries in each language. ELS Educational Services, Inc. will award each winner with an all-expenses paid trip to New York in July. Students will attend a five-day Global Youth Forum at Hofstra University campus and prepare to present their views at the United Nations headquarters.
Students who are 18 years of age and older and are currently enrolled in a full-time degree programme at a university are eligible to compete to win a place as a delegate to the Global Youth Forum. Entries should be in an official language of the United Nations that is not the first language of the entrant or the principal language of instruction in his or her primary or secondary education. The deadline for submitting the essay is 11:59 p.m. EST, March 31. For full contest details, rules and entry guidelines, visit manylanguagesoneworld.
