UNHATE Foundation's/UNAI International Diversity Contest
The United Nations Department of Public Information, in cooperation with the UNHATEFoundation, launched the UNHATE NEWS initiative as part of its efforts to create a world without hate and where human rights are recognized. As a powerful and thought provoking digital initiative, its objective is to invite people to create news "stories" they would like to see come true, stories whose inherent ideas provoke thought and actions. We now invite university/college students and members of faculty, between the ages of eighteen and thirty, around the world, to develop, prepare, and present a specific initiative at the local or community level that clearly promotes the ideal of tolerance, respect for diversity and harmony within and between peoples as part of the UNHATE Foundation's/UNAI International Diversity Contest (the "Contest"). The project should relate to one or more of the general themes of the attached stories; please note that the specific "stories" listed below are only illustrative and it is their broad thrust, purpose and intent that the projects should focus upon. Entries may be submitted by individuals or by groups of individuals who have collaborated in defining the project. The project should be clearly related to the community in which the Entrant(s) reside and aimed at promoting the global goals of the Contest among the members of the said community. Proposals submitted for consideration should not be longer than 1,000 words. However, supplemental material, containing detailed analysis with suggested time-frames and financial analysis, are welcome. All project proposals - and supplemental material - must be submitted in English. Entries should be e-mailed by May 31, 2015 to academicimpact@un.org with "Diversity Contest" in the subject line. Please note that we recognize that the deadline is approaching quickly. Proposal writers should do their best to address all proposal guidelines but should know, too, that good ideas which need minor revisions will be considered by the judges.
