Words of Unity
Poetry Competition

Page divider

At Global Acts of Unity we use the power of words every day to help spread a message of unity, tolerance and understanding. Our national poetry competition asked young people to share their own words about what ‘unity’ means to them.

With more than 2,400 poems submitted, the Global Acts of Unity team are astounded by the quality from across the country.

Thank you to everyone for entering.

Liv Goldreich, 15
