INTERNATIONAL LETTER WRITING COMPETITION 2021 FOR YOUNG PEOPLE BY POST DEPARTMENT


 This year, 2021, the UPU is proud to be running its 50th international letter-writing competition.  All of our participating member countries have consistently encouraged youth to develop their literacy skills and to focus on a particular subject. The competition is an excellent means of promoting literacy among youth and contributes to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The COVID pandemic has had a major impact on the way we work and live.  And it hasn’t stopped yet! We continue to be profoundly affected by the virus. How have young people in particular felt about these momentous changes? This year’s theme sets out to explore their experiences as we ask them to “write a letter to a family member about your experience with COVID.19.”
