Best Text Contest for Undergraduate Students

From Past to Future Extraordinary Circumstances, Creative Solutions

From the past to the future, natural disasters, wars, global and regional political crises, and economic distress have prompted humanity to develop new perspectives and creative solutions. The resulting products have played an essential role in shaping the world. The approach of young people who assume the leading role in shaping the future regarding extraordinary circumstances has an indispensable gravity in producing creative solutions. In this respect, in addition to academic studies, the unique perspective and healing power of literature throughout history have contributed to the emergence of solutions vis-a-vis extraordinary situations that will carry us to a better world.
