Also in July, the United Nations Academic Impact initiative, in association with ELS Educational Services, concluded the fourth annual “Many languages, one world” international essay contest for college and university students. The theme for 2017 focused on the role of multilingualism in fostering global citizenship and cultural understanding. Students were asked to write an essay on the topic in a United Nations official language that was neither their mother tongue nor their primary language of instruction. More than 6,000 participants from 1,900 universities in 170 countries took part. A total of 60 winners attended a multilingual Global Youth Forum culminating in an event in the General Assembly Hall in July in which students presented action plans for achieving selected Sustainable Development Goals.
