War Through Children’s Eyes competition

March 8, 2023

Online leaflet

The War Through Children’s Eyes competition is a creative competition that aims to raise awareness of the impact of war on people around the world. 2023 is its second year, and I’m pleased to say that I’m going to be one of this year’s judges.

The competition is open to anyone aged 7-17 who’s resident in the UK – so if that’s you, and you’d like to get involved, visit their website now. I think this is a great initiative – as they say,

Our ultimate objective is to empower children to speak out, take action and share the stories of their peers who have no voice

The competition is open from now until the 15th of May, so there’s plenty of time to work on your entries. Good luck!
