WHAT DOES WELL-BEING MEAN TO YOU?

The "Art for Well-being" competition was a riveting opportunity for young individuals aged 10-24, allowing them to delve into artistic expression. Participants showcased their talents in three categories: design, music, and film and responded to the theme, “What does well-being mean to you?”.

Arts have been recognized as a significant medium for cultivating valuable life skills, fostering connections, and encouraging imagination, self-expression, and creativity. This competition served as a platform for youth around the globe to voice their perspectives on well-being.

Entries were evaluated based on their quality and relevance to the five domains of adolescent well-being. The selected masterpieces had the honor of being featured at several prestigious events, including the Global Forum for Adolescents and other significant gatherings leading up to it, such as the UN General Assembly in New York. These platforms were part of the broader "What Young People Want" initiative and the 1.8 Billion Young People for Change campaign.

The winners were determined through a combination of social media and an official jury votes. The announcement and celebration of the victors were exciting highlights of the Global Forum for Adolescents, held on the 11th and 12th of October 2023. The event marked a pivotal moment in recognizing and advocating for youth expression and global adolescent well-being.
