We invite primary and junior high school students to participate in the Nationwide Literary Competition under the slogan “Family – the Source of Peace for Humanity”. The competition is organized by the Sanctuary of Mother of God of Leśniów, the Patron Saint of Families, and the Department of Education, Culture, and Sports in Myszków.
Family as a community of individuals is the basic form of individual and social life. It is the primitive and most common social group, of which almost everyone is or has been a member. It is the first environment that allows a person to develop in a comprehensive way, satisfy many needs, and introduce them to the world of values and social norms. What we learn in the family stays with us for the rest of our lives. The condition of the whole society depends on the nature of the family and how it fulfills its functions. All socio-economic changes are reflected in the changes in the family. Throughout history, along with civilization changes, the structure of the family, the functions and tasks it performs, and the roles of its individual members have changed and continue to change. New patterns and models of family life are emerging.
Therefore, the main goal of the competition, besides developing young talents, is to invite students to share their reflections in their own short literary works on love, goodness, Polish traditions, and the future of the family, shaping a positive attitude towards human life among young people, and deepening knowledge related to the functions of the family, love, friendship, fulfilling gender and parental roles. The most interesting works will be published in a collection of stories.
We invite you to familiarize yourself with the regulations.
