Under the motto "Freunde ohne Grenzen/ Friends without Frontiers", the Federal Foreign Office is looking for writing-enthusiastic children and young people who would like to publish their own texts. Godmother of the e-book is the children's and youth book author Cornelia Funke.
Young authors from around the world are invited to share their experiences, fantasies, hopes and dreams. What does friendship mean to you? How can friendship be born and maintained across national borders and different living environments? What makes a friendship so valuable, despite or because of different opinions and tastes, conflicts and distances?
With our fifth e-book, we are building on the successes of "My home, your home," "One planet, many worlds," "You, me-we're Europe" and "A world for you and me" from 2015 until 2018. The submitted prose texts, essays or poems in German or English are professionally proofread and appear as an e-book in the renowned Aufbau Verlag.
"Freude ohne Grenzen / FRIENDS WITHOUT FRONTIERS © AA" will be presented at the Federal Foreign Office's Open Day on 18 August 2019 at the Federal Foreign Office. The best three texts of each age group will be awarded.
Texts are accepted in the age groups up to 10 years, from 11 to 14 years and from 15 to 19 years.
