step 2…

...keep writing…keep writing reminders…keep writing reminders for the ones you want to be involved, for the ones you want them to sit in the JURY of IPY’s International Essay Contest: I sent 183 emails just and just for this purpose!

So I keep writing, and you keep reading and following me…do you want to know who is in the jury? I’ll write for you but first let me write down who did we want to be there:

Since this is an academic contest, it was very clear from the beginning that there should be academics on board. We tried to bring teachers from different universities and disciplines together for this jury; at the same time we wanted politicians to be involved as well cos they are the ones who need to hear what has been suggested[1]; moreover, we needed to have the media on bard as well: after all, free media is the fourth pillar of democracy[2]! All in all, we have 6 members for our jury now…from all the groups I mentioned and as we announced in our call as well, IPY board will have a vote in this selection...and that makes us 7!

Do you want to know who is in this jury?
Yes?

Then keep reading cos I keep writing…
