The brief
The TSL Sustainability Challenge is a video contest for learners around the world. For the first time we are opening up this competition to participants of all ages, giving them a platform to share their views and have their voices heard.
Participants are invited to create a short video (max. 1 minute each), either as an individual or a group, showcasing their messages on biodiversity to world leaders and governments before the upcoming COP 15 meeting of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity in May 2021.
Entries are invited in 4 categories:
- Primary (aged 7-11)
- Secondary (aged 11-17)
- Tertiary (aged 18+)
- Teachers (because we never stop learning!)
Entry submissions for the 2021 Sustainability Challenge are welcome until 28 February 2021.
The Challenge is organised in parallel with the TSL International Schools Essay Competition and Debate and primary and secondary schools are warmly invited to participate in both contests.
The Challenge winners will be announced on 1 May 2021, in advance of the UN COP 15 meeting.
