The sister cities mission is to promote peace through mutual respect, understanding, and cooperation – one individual, one community at a time. The 2019 Sister Cities International Young Artists and Author’s theme, “Global Citizens: Resilient Communities,” asks students to explore the concept of resiliency while highlighting citizen diplomacy and the creative ways to create peace through people-to-people interaction.
How can internationally engaged future leaders help communities respond to the various global challenges of the 21st century?
In what ways does international experience (not just limited to travel abroad) affect an individual or community’s ability to adapt?
What are some examples/illustrations of resilience in a global context?
Students interested in art, literature (essays and poems) and photography should submit their original pieces to Sister Cities International by April 1, 2019 for the opportunity to participate and potentially win cash prizes!
