Abstract: Competition 2022
This year we will reflect upon what make us unique and what still binds us all together. Humanity, kindness, happiness! We are all one, wherever in the world we are. As different as we might seem, we still share very similar ideas and values.
Learning about each others daily life from students around the world will be eye opening. How is a typical day for you in your country or community and which daily chores, responsibilities and duties do you have to fulfil? Where and how do you live, how you care for others or what do you do to help improve your community and your environment?
Tell us which routines, customs and habits you have learned, are motivated or impressed by or which ones do you act upon in your life. Share your personal ideas and dreams with us and tell us what makes you happy.
This will help us to better understand each other and shall build bridges between continents. Let us strive to share and care for each other wherever we are. Let us learn what is important to you, your community and your cultural group so we can understand your views and ideas.
With sharing inspirational stories and exploring what we would want to know about other people, cultures and countries will help us to become aware about own own ideas and concepts as well while seeing our world with fresh eyes.
Once we share our insights, learn from each other, look out for each other, this planet will become a better place! So we can all live peacefully together. Make happiness a habit!
