Competition 2023/2024

My future, my ideas!

From primary school to secondary I and secondary II, from 4 to 19 years old, from all over Switzerland, get involved!

As we reach the midpoint of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development this year, it's time to evaluate the situation: Which of the SDGs are on track to be achieved? Which ones are falling behind? What actions can we take at our own level to move things forward? By registering for the competition, you can take part in the discussions and make your voice heard!

WHAT IS THE COMPETITION ABOUT? 

Every two year, the Eduki Foundation organises a competition on international cooperation for youngsters in Switzerland, aged 4 to 19. This competition aims to sensibilise pupils and teachers to the 2030 Agenda, adopted by the UN in 2015, which includes the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aiming to promote global development, and the wellbeing and protection of the environment.

In 2021/2022, more than 1000 students from 12 cantons took part, with 119 projects including art and media productions or concrete action projects.

What do the teachers say? “I loved seeing the commitment of my students, who find it very difficult to get down to work.” "This competition stimulates students' creativity through a concrete objective". "An unforgettable memory for the students!"

Get inspired and get an idea of the experience by reading the 2021/2022 Competition Report, watching the "making-of" video produced by young people at the Espace Entreprise in Geneva or browsing through projects from previous years.


THEME OF THE COMPETITION

Halfway through the 2030 Agenda, it is crucial to seek the opinion of young people. Their ideas and perspectives are essential to tackling the remaining challenges to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and shaping the future we all want. The Eduki competition is a catalyst for young people's democratic participation, enabling them to express their ideas and creativity and present innovative projects that address the pressing global issues of our time.

In 2022, Switzerland submitted its report on the implementation of the 2030 Agenda to the UN. The result of a process involving civil society and public authorities, the Confederation has identified a number of areas in which everyone can act level to achieve several of the SDGs:

The Eduki Competition invites schools in Switzerland to think about one of these three areas and to send in their messages or projects proposing solutions at their level. In order to better understand the interconnectedness of the SDGs, participants must address at least two of the at least two of the relevant SDGs in their ideas.


FOR WHOM?

The competition is open to all primary, secondary I and secondary II students, either individually, in groups, by class or by school in Switzerland. Participants in the Competition must submit an artistic work, a media production or come up with a concrete action that can be implemented locally. The projects will be rewarded at the awards ceremony to be held on 15 May 2024 at the Palais des Nations in Geneva. Give your pupils an exceptional opportunity to discover one of the key centres of world governance!
