Young people both within the country and in the diaspora are encouraged to participate in the National Video Essay Contest titled "Discover My Community," launched by the Ministry of Education and Research. The competition will run from January 9 to February 9, 2026, and is designed for individuals who wish to promote the values and heritage of their communities of origin.
The initiative is organized by the Public Association "Institutum Virtutes Civilis" with support from the Soros Foundation Moldova and in partnership with the Ministry of Education and Culture, as part of the project "Moldova - Home for All".
