"Youth, skills and work: What skills do you need to create a better future? "

UNESCO is running an artwork contest for young people on the theme of youth, skills and work - the focus of the forthcoming 2012 Education for All Global Monitoring Report. 

The winner’s work will be used in the report.

The artwork should illustrate ideas linked to youth, education, skills and the world of work. Some related questions are:

• Are young people leaving school with the skills they need to survive and thrive in society?
• How can we make sure that all young people – especially those who face disadvantages – get a chance to learn job skills?
• Are employers and governments doing their best to match up skills and jobs?
• How can education help young people avoid unemployment – or being trapped in low-paid, insecure work?
