Competition 2009: Subject POWER / POVERTY Introduction About 25,000 people die every day of hunger or hunger-related causes. This year the organizational committee of the Skopje's ISPC decided that the main topic of the 2009 poster competition should be the problem of Poverty.

It will have a direct effect on the society by opening new horizons and giving a strong motivation for the people to work towards a better future. This project should promote the ‘poster’ as a mean of expressing these ideas among the European and world wide youth. This project continues to represents a base of cultural interchange, having made new friendships, realizing the importance of poverty as its major goals. Through the concretization of the ideas based on poverty the young spirit should understand its value and realize the common advantages that this concept offers, building a solid grounds for further promotion of Poverty problems on global grounds.

One of the goals of this project is to merge the students from world academies and Europe in the territory of the Republic of Macedonia. "POVERTY vs. POWER” will strive for a cultural development of the young people and their social and cultural independence. One of the aspects of this situation is the lack of possibilities for self-actualization, namely achieving their aspiration and life ambitions.

This topic will help society and its many organisations and institutions to learn about the positive and negative effects of migration on people and countries. Deadline for submission 30 June 2009 15 July 2009 About migration Migration is the movement or displacement of human beings on the terrestrial surface. The term migration has two meanings: one that includes all types of displacements of human beings, and one that only takes into consideration those displacements that involve a change of residence. This, in the widest sense, includes the continuous motions of the population between housing and the place of work. The most important form of migration since the 19 century is known as rural exodus, which is the massive displacement of people from rural to urban environments. Annually, millions of people around the world will move from the country to the city (especially in developing countries) searching for better living conditions and employment opportunities. Migration is a phenomenon as ancient as humanity itself, but which is now taking place at an intensity and prevalence that is without historical comparison. From countryside to the city, from poor regions of a country to capital ones or from south to north, the effect on the economy and society of affected areas is extraordinary. It is believed that migration must be addressed from a multidisciplinary point of view, considering such topics as legal, ethical, political, cultural, socioeconomic and familiar causes; catastrophes, wars and international conflicts; and, above all, the impact on the societies of origin and destination.
