The Atlantic Institute is a non-profit organization. Its goal is to promote dialogue among people and issues that pertain to their lives. Atlantic Institute's mainstay is to engage in educational activities about social and cultural matters. One of the main activities of the foundation is our Creativity Contest for Middle School and High School students in South Carolina. The contest theme for this year is "Tapestries of Life: How our Cultural Threads Bind Us Together." Middle and high-school students in the United States of America are invited to submit original artwork, short films and/or essays. The Deadline is the beginning of March 2025. We would like to ask if you would be one of our Essay judges for this year’s contest. If you honor us by accepting, we would ask you to evaluate around 25 essays in March 2025 in the first round of evaluation, and then we may ask you to evaluate about 10 more essays for the second round of evaluations. We will provide you with the information and this can be done anytime from any computer.
The judges can not be Elementary, Middle or High School Teachers in the United States of America or know of a student who is entering the contest. Please feel free to get a hold of me if you have any questions and/or concerns. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Please send me the best contact information (e-mail, phone number) that would work for us to reach you if you are interested. Thank you for taking the time to consider this.

Description
We live in a global world that requires understanding, goodwill, and peace among all of humanity, and it is an important goal that we must work toward. The social media, internet, and other communication tools provide many different ways of interacting with others. People from different geographies and cultures are now in constant communication. While engaging with others in far distances, we are neglecting to communicate with the people we live with in our same community. The concept of friendship and neighborhood has changed dramatically. Someone could make a friend from the other part of world and culture through social media while not seeking to ask the next door neighbor's name.
Atlantic Institute was founded to bridge the deep gap of social interaction, to promote respecting differences, and to commit to the common good in the State of South Carolina.
The volunteers and members of Atlantic Institute want to put "the American Dream" into practice as in the words of Martin Luther King, Jr.: "The American Dream, the dream of men of all races, creeds, national backgrounds, living together as brothers." Volunteers and members of Atlantic Institute pursue happiness in the happiness of others through volunteerism and philanthropy. Atlantic Institute members and volunteers have been working diligently to fulfill the above mentioned principles in the State of South Carolina.
We sincerely hope that you enjoy coming to our many events that we put together and continue to help us share in dialogue.
