Karachi – City of Our Future Contest was held in 2003 under the umbrella of YOUNG WORLD – DAWN in-paper magazine. This unique event aimed at finding solutions for the city’s urban problems through a collective effort made by Karachi’s school-going children.
Last but not the least is the DAWN in Education Spelling Bee Contest aims to expand children’s horizons beyond the classroom and enhance their process of learning.
