The United Nations Academic Impact and ELS Educational Services Inc. have launched the 3rd Annual Many Languages, One World essay contest!

The essay contest invites college and university students 18 years of age and older to write an essay in any of the official UN languages (English, Spanish, French, Arabic, Russian and Chinese) on the theme of multilingualism and the role it can play in fostering global citizenship and cultural understanding.

Sixty winners (10 for each of the official UN languages) will be selected to attend a week long Global Youth Forum in New York and speak at an event in the UN General Assembly in July.

The contest deadline is 31 March 2016 and more information, including contest rules and eligibility, can be found at http://www.els.edu/en/ManyLanguagesOneWorld.

Please help us spread the word about the exciting opportunity by sharing with your networks across various platforms.

Happy New Year from the UNRCCA Team!
