RèSpace Visionaries Competition: Rules and Regulations
(Pre-Launch: 2023-2024)
Chapter 1: General Provisions
The core mission of the United Nations Youth International Organization is deeply rooted in the UN Global Youth Action Agenda, emphasizing inclusivity, sustainability, equality, and youth participation. Aligned with the UN’s primary documents, the organization’s values resonate with the global priorities of the UN, focusing on youth and adolescents. Its goal is to create a comprehensive platform for youth development, learning, and participation in global processes.
To actively support the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the organization fosters an inclusive environment where youth participate equally in social, educational, and cultural activities, encouraging intergenerational understanding and collaboration. The organization also promotes engagement in innovative fields such as arts, science, and technology, nurturing potential in technology, social innovation, and entrepreneurship.
The Space Visionaries Competition is designed to provide an international platform for exchange and learning, supported by leading universities, academic institutions, and social media channels. Space technology development holds significant educational and societal importance, offering unique opportunities to deepen understanding of the universe and inspire curiosity about life and cosmic evolution.
Educationally, space exploration ignites interest in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), providing rich learning materials and experimental platforms. Activities like space mission simulations and astronomical observations help students grasp complex scientific concepts, foster teamwork, and develop problem-solving skills.
Culturally, space exploration sparks philosophical reflection on humanity’s place and purpose in the universe, inspiring imagination and curiosity, particularly among youth. Future advancements in space technology will continue to empower a new generation of scientists and explorers, opening new chapters in human civilization.
The Space Visionaries Competition reflects the organization’s expectations for space development, addressing themes such as accessibility to space travel, deep space exploration, technological innovation, and advancements in propulsion, life support, and communication technologies. This competition aims to deepen mutual understanding, promote ecological youth collaboration in science, culture, and innovation, and advance global cooperation in educational technology.
