THE THIRD COMPETITION “FABLES ON CLIMATE ACTION IN MUSIC 2020” FOR YOUNG MUSIC COMPOSERS (18-30 years old) IS NOW OPEN UNTIL 31 DECEMBER 2020 ( Please find here the TERMS AND CONDITIONS and the REGISTRATION FORM“)
The non-profit initiative “Leonardo 4 Children 2020: Climate Action” (Please find here the full presentation of the “Leonardo 2020: Climate Action” initiative) launched in 2020 is dedicated to environmental sustainability and climate action, and aims to empower children and young people across Europe to contribute to address the issue of climate change.
This is the 2020 edition of the non-profit initiative “Leonardo 4 Children” which started in 2019 and includes competitions which represent a kind of “Nobel prize” for children. In fact, if Leonardo da Vinci were reborn again 500 years after his death, he would not need to solve the problems of discovering the functioning of human body, or inventing ways to make man flying, or inventing machines: he would likely focus on using creativity to solve the existential problem of climate change which threatens our lives. Thus, children and young people are invited to become the new Leonardo da Vinci of 21st century:
“Every child can be a genius !”
