The Councillor’s Office for Education, through the Municipal Council for Children, launches a creative challenge for children in the municipality. The challenge consists of writing a story or making a drawing, which will be sent to the residents of the Isla Care Home or to patients at the Laredo Hospital affected by COVID-19. The aim is twofold: on the one hand, to encourage creativity and solidarity among the youngest, while, at the same time, our older people or sick people will receive encouragement and support from the population through these stories and drawings. The Contest is not presented in a competition format, so there will be no jury. However, among those who take part, a tablet will be raffled as an incentive for participation.
If you want to take part, here are the full rules of the Contest:
CREATIVITY CONTEST #TOGETHERWECANMAKEIT
The Councillor’s Office for Education of the Arnuero Town Hall, through the Municipal Council for Child and Adolescent Participation, in view of the need to stimulate creativity and encourage a spirit of solidarity, has organised an online contest, through which, in addition to developing study and imagination, participants can help make these days less difficult for our older people and sick people due to Covid-19.
