About The Event

New for 2025, STANCE is SCMP Learn's inaugural storytelling competition for global youth.

STANCE offers a dynamic platform for secondary school students to explore, articulate and amplify their perspectives on the issues shaping our world today. We believe young people carry powerful insights, and this first-of-its-kind competition encourages participants to express their views through impactful storytelling.

Open to students across Hong Kong and Asia, STANCE challenges participants to examine global themes, craft thoughtful narratives and engage in constructive dialogue. The competition is designed to foster the next generation of informed, articulate and empathetic leaders.
