Poetry Contest on a “Sense of Place”
2024-2025
In this Poetry Contest, we invited EU-CONEXUS students and staff to express in their own way what a sense of place* meant to them.
84 beautiful poems were submitted in which the authors shared the emotional connection or bond they had to a specific place, area or location and what made them so special and unique.
*“Sense of Place” refers to the emotional attachment and meaning people associate with a particular location, shaped by personal experiences and cultural significance.
