Who is responsible...are we ready to take responsibility for the future of our planet?


Global essay competition invites schoolchildren to share their views on the rights and responsibilities of different people worldwide in creating a sustainable future.


Essay Competition


Students are invited to write an essay in English, entitled 'Who is responsible..are we ready to take responsibility for the future of our planet?'. A distinguished panel of judges, drawn from experts and educationalists in the field, will select three winning entries for each age category. The winning students will be awarded trophies at the International Schools Debates and their essays will be published on the competition website. Essays will be judged for comprehensiveness and clarity, innovative and creative thinking and the potential to contribute to a broad-ranging and constructive international debate (see scoring and judging criteria). The essay length differs by age category as follows:


Primary students (ages 7-11) – max. 400 words


Secondary students (ages 11-17) - max. 600 words



For each category, schools will be invited to submit up to 30 essays online. (Thesemust be submitted by the Teacher Champion, using the login details provided at registration. We regret that paper and emailed copies cannot be accepted.)
