The Rotary Club of Taunton has recently launched its intention to run Youth competitions in 2020-21. These include: Young Writer; Young Photographer. Young Musician and Youth Speaks. If you are a young person, or you know a young person who has an interest in writing, photography, music or public speaking this is an opportunity for them to develop and express themselves and maybe even win! We realise that circumstances have affected us in strange ways but Young Writer, Young Musician and Young Photographer competitions can be undertaken individually. Although Youth Speaks is a team activity there is the possibility that the Youth Speaks competition will take place on-line, thus enabling you and others to stay safe. Schools might like to take this opportunity to use the competition with whole class groups and motivate young people to develop skills beyond the arena of the formal curriculum. Parents and carers could use these activities as part of their family time. Most of all, you, the young people at whom these competitions are aimed, will have the opportunity to express yourselves, to advocate your ideas and opinions and persuade others about the things that interest you. To find out more information about the competitions get in touch with the Rotary contact below to have a discussion and find out how to take part.
