(O traducere in româna este jos)

From 10 October to 12 December 2011, the Gender and Development Committee of Peace Corps Romania (GAD), in partnership with Fundatia Sensiblu and Fundatia IREX/Programul Biblionet, will coordinate a national campaign for the 16 Days Against Gender Violence. GAD is a group of US Peace Corps Volunteers and Romanians working to promote gender equality in the social and economic development processes of Romania. This year, GAD in partnership with Fundatia Sensiblu and Fundatia IREX/Biblionet Program is coordinating a 16 Days campaign in Romania. We are organizing a creative writing and art/photography competition for Romanian students. This competition is open nationwide to all general schools, high schools, organizations, and libraries with interested students. Students are expected to interpret this year’s theme – From Peace at Home to Peace in the World – creatively through writing, art or film. Students’ submissions will be judged in five categories according to their grade level and type of entry. These five categories are:

  • Art/Photography Grade School Competition
  • Art/Photography High School Competition
  • Writing Grade School Competition
  • Writing High School Competition
  • Short Film (1-2min) High School Competition

Schools, organizations, and libraries are encouraged to organize local competitions within their communities, sending the winning submissions electronically to the national competition. In addition, we encourage local coordinators to consider hosting a community art/film show and essay reading to recognize participants. Each participating school, organization or library can submit their five winning entries in each of the five categories to the national competition. Submissions for the national competition must be submitted electronically by 12 December 2011.
