To help celebrate the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014), the United Nations Educational, Cultural, and Scientific Organization (UNESCO) Bangkok is organising a student mural competition on the theme of sustainable urbanisation, action for climate change, or the preservation of traditional and indigenous knowledge based on sustainable development issues. The murals, created on a free surface at a school or in the local community, are intended to be part of a community-led initiative to mark the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development and create a legacy for future discussion on sustainable development.


UNESCO Bangkok is seeking greater understanding of students' perspectives on sustainable development. They intend to showcase student entries as a representation of young people's perspectives. All UNESCO Associated Schools (ASPnet) and UNESCO Clubs in the Asia-Pacific region are especially invited to partake, but the competition is open to all youth.

The deadline for application is August 5 2008.
