Introduction

---

In its 2013 call, the contest “A Sea of Words” is being held for the sixth time with the objective of contributing to the promotion of dialogue between peoples and the exchange of knowledge and experiences between different local and international traditions. Within the framework of the European Year of Citizens, the contest addresses the vision and expectations of youths in relation to the issue of building citizenship in the countries of the Euro-Mediterranean area.

The contest focuses on the production of short stories whose content is linked to the creation or consolidation of dynamics aimed at fostering voluntary work, a key element of active citizenship that helps to promote intergenerational solidarity, the evolution of values and societies, and the expression of the different sensibilities and realities of youths in the region.
Literary creation is a fundamental means of expressing and describing events, ideas and emotions that can be directly transmitted to and by youths from the whole of the Euro-Mediterranean area. From this point of view, the objective is to produce literary accounts that are based on reality or are purely fictional.
