Deadline: 18 May 2012
Youth Consortium for Progress Gambia is pleased to announce its writing competition for secondary schools.
YCP Gambian kicks off its educational programs for 2012 with its first ever writing competition. The essay contest will be between our partner junior secondary schools, St. Therese’s Upper Basic School, Ndows Comprehensive Upper Basic School and Bakau Upper Basic School.
This year’s theme is “I am the Future”. Students participating in this contest are asked to examine some of the following questions: As an African/Gambian youth, how do you identify with the Cheetah generation? How do you see yourself as a change agent and an important resource in Africa’s development? Why does your country/community need you? In what sector of the economy will you champion change? and How will you demonstrate innovation and leadership? What obstacles do you envision will stand in the way of your goals and how will you overcome them?
The writing competition dares participating youths to explore their creative talents and highlight how they are an instrumental part of the development of the Gambia.
Participants will be graded based on creativity, organization, logic and grammar
Winners will be announced during the next YCP Gambia youth event.
Prizes will be awarded to the top three participants.
