Youth Competition 2022

The Competition

For the 6. International Trans.History Youth Competition students from Moldova and Georgia were invited to send us their innovative and creative projects spotlighting the Jewish heritage of their region, or the biography of a Jewish person. Students were encouraged to do their own research and to use the Centropa Archive to gather information.

Among the many high-quality entries, we selected three outstanding projects that were rewarded with gift vouchers.

Thanks to all students who participated and shared their creativity with us! For information on Centropa’s future Youth Competitions, follow our Facebook page or join our Trans.History Youth Competition Facebook group.
