LFMI's writing contest "Freedom Studies"
In pursuit of its educational activities, LFMI has announced a writing contest "Freedom Studies," which is aimed to enhance the understanding of social and economic laws in the life of the society. LFMI hopes that this contest will develop a tradition of teaching freedom as a subject that requires profound public understanding.
The contest is designed for university students and self-studying people who are above 17 years of age and do not hold a PhD. Contestants will have to submit a course paper dedicated to the issue of social and economic laws of the society and their workings in the economy, law, morals and other spheres. LFMI believes that by writing this paper, students will be encouraged to analyse how economic and social laws function in the society, to understand peoples’ motives in social-economic activities, and to perceive that the variety of people’s aims and values does not disturb but, quite the contrary, maintains a smooth coexistence of the society.
The winners of the contest will be announced in September of 2004 and will be awarded by cash prizes. The best papers will be posted on LFMI’s website in Lithuanian.
