UNAI and Unhate Foundation launch diversity contest for university and college students The Unhate Foundation of Italy, in cooperation with the United Nations Academic Impact, is inviting young people aged 18 – 30 to participate in an innovative contest aimed at promoting a world without hate and where human rights are recognized. This education-oriented initiative asks students, researchers and faculty members between the ages of 18 and 30, including those from institutions that are members of UNAI, 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. In the first phase of the contest, young people are invited to create “unhate” news that they would like to see in real life. Taking cue from the broad Unhate Foundation principles, they are to choose a subject that matters to them and spin it into the news they wish they could see translated into real life. In order to participate in the initiative, participants must register for the UNHATE Community by completing the registration form or by registering directly through their own Facebook account. The news will be uploaded on the UNHATE Foundation website where a community of youth will be created. Young people worldwide will be invited to vote on the news submitted by clicking the “like’ button of the contest’s Facebook page. The last date for submission of unhate news is 30 April 2014. In the second phase of the contest, the 100 most voted stories by the community will be evaluated by an Unhate Foundation jury who will then select top 10 stories, in consultation with UNAI. In the third phase, Unhate Foundation and the United Nations Academic Impact will jointly select implementing partners who would work to give life to the ideas and ideals reflected in these top ten stories. Each project will receive a grant of 20.000 euros as a practical way to contribute to the desired social change highlighted by the news.
