Introducing the “World Peace and Cross-Cultural Understanding: An International and Intergenerational AI-facilitated eBook Writing Competition 2024/25”! This groundbreaking competition unites students (primary and secondary) and older adults (55+) from diverse cultures worldwide to collaborate on non-fiction digital books that promote global harmony and mutual understanding. Using cutting-edge AI tools, participants will explore themes of world peace, cultural exchange, and shared human experiences. Through AI-empowered writing, teams will bridge generational and cultural gaps, fostering dialogue and empathy across borders. This platform encourages participants to share perspectives on building a more peaceful, interconnected world. While we prioritise intergenerational and cross-cultural partnerships, teams without a younger or older partner can still participate in this fun event. Winners will receive attractive prizes that celebrate their contributions to global understanding! To support this mission, we’re offering 10 free workshops equipping participants with AI writing skills and cross-cultural communication techniques.
