Teams entering the contest were required to address the following theme:
What does it mean to be a global citizen?
How can you decide which problem to address?
If you are fighting genocide in Darfur aren’t you ignoring malnutritionin Sri Lanka? With so many in need close to home, why should you focuson the problems of other nations or on global concerns?
