CATEGORIES

1. Free Drawing (Up to 6 years of age). Technology is ubiquitous in our lives from the moment we first come into the world. Thanks to technology, we are
able to carry out a variety of everyday tasks: wake up, predict the weather, cook, care for crops, move from one point to another, communicate… In what
way does technology help you or what do you use it for in your daily activities? Express what ways technology helps you through a drawing, in DIN-A4
format (maximum size).

2. Message Poster (From 7 to 12 years of age). The internet has increased worldwide access to knowledge, yet there are still areas where internet
connection is uncommon, often leading to a cultural and knowledge gap, known as the digital gap. What learning opportunities does the internet offer?
Why does the internet increase the gain of knowledge, cooperation and world progress? Express your answer through a poster and a short text supporting
it. Minimum format DIN-A3 (29,7x42cm) and maximum format 50x 70 cm.

3. Mural or collective work (From 12 to 15 years of age). Despite the big advantages that technology has contributed to progress, its bad use can have
disastrous consequences. How can you use technology in a just way and in a way that generates intellectual growth, development and freedom? What
role do institutions and international rights play in the fair use of technology? Express your answer through a mural.

4. Free composition (From 16 to 18 years of age). Technology for progress. Technology holds a key role within the professional world and the world
economy; the creation of new generations, in terms of technology, might contribute to great advancement within science and innovation for peace,
health, wellbeing and global cooperation. What role does technology play in relation to your professional future? How will you use technology in your
future job to help progress? Express this connection through a free artistic creation.

5. Creation and technological investigation (From 18 to 21 years of age). Technology for peace. The International Day for Peace and Development
promotes the study and the diffusion of information through the links between scientific and technological progress and peace. There are various ways to
present the projects: videos- upload them onto Youtube and send the link to the Peace and Cooperation e-mail; Power Point- CDs by post or as an
attached file by e-mail.

6. Project- learn with technology: (Professors). The World Telecommunications Day aims to raise awareness of the possibilities that the use of the
Internet, along with other information and communication technologies (ITC,) provides to societies and economies, as well as ways to reduce the digital
gap. As a teacher, present an innovative project in which the school community of your institution participates in the consolidation of the Internet as a
resource of apprenticeship, research, reflection and dissemination.

7. Extraordinary Award. There exist countless international initiatives, which use new technologies to bring cultures, languages and apprenticeships
among centres of various countries. In the fight against the digital gap, centres of various countries can establish technological ties, which help to mitigate
this effect. Present your “twinning” project among centres. There are various ways to present your projects: videos- upload them onto Youtube and send us
the link via e-mail; Power Point –CDs sent by post or an attached file by e-mail.
