TORONTO (XINHUA) - A video speech competition
titled Global Youth Challenge: COVID-19 was held
in Mississauga of Canada last Saturday.
The audience saw 17 chosen finalists speak
and answer questions to a panel of judges on
Saturday morning after more than 700 students
aged between 14 and 19 from 28 countries,
including China and the United States, joined in
the competition online.
The video competition is meant to inspire
students around the world to reflect and think how
the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the whole
world, according to the event’s organiser.
Each entry to the contest consists of an essay or
a piece of visual art produced by the participant,
which focusses on the effects of COVID-19 through
the lens of a subject like mathematics, art, history,
business and science.
The competition is sponsored by The Erindale
Academy, University of Waterloo and Brock University.
